Black Dragon Mage
A downloadable game for Windows
Black Dragon Mage is a gorgeous dark fantasy, action-roguelite, top-down horde shooter of the bullet heaven subgenre (aka "survivors-like"), featuring 16 bit style retro visuals and thousands of relentless demonic enemies and your very own battle dragon!
Upgrade your mage & weapons on every level-up and pick a unique combination of ARPG-style abilities for your run. Every death is a new opportunity to experiment and grow your might! Buy new meta-upgrades (weapons, abilities, upgrades, hats & more!) in the Hall of Relics and avenge your own death with newfound power.
This is a free demo.
The full game is coming out Dec 2024 on Steam!

So much new stuff! Just played the new cemetery map and made it to the boss. He kicked my butt though :D This was a lot of fun! Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Thanks now I lost an entire weekend playing this. It's just one more round and I can't stop. Good job man!
thank you :)
AMAZING GAME
laterally just missing bosses
thank you, bosses and further enemy classes are coming soon, by the way :)
Very cool game with a lot of potential, and very polished!
I think it would be a good idea to up the base movement speed as the game feels a bit slow and cramped and you can very easily get caught in situations that you have no way of getting out of through no fault of your own.
Thanks a bunch for the kind words, feedback and for playing :)
I agree about the walk speed needing balancing, will definitely revisit with the next updates & I thought about introducing multiple dash charges.
This game is legit fire; I was hoping to find something with a wizard theme, and boy, was I not disappointed. Thanks!
Thank you! 🧙♂️🔥🐉
