Our take on The Land of the Magnates
The sitar serves as both Shahbaz’s weapon and the source of music that restores life, giving the game a focused central mechanic. That focus leaves less room for a broad arsenal or combat built around many different weapon types.
What is The Land of the Magnates?
The Land of the Magnates is an action-adventure game set in magical realms inspired by Middle Eastern myths and legends.
Players control Shahbaz, a prince accused of poisoning his father, as he searches for a cure, lifts ancient curses, and seeks to regain his throne. His sitar serves as both an instrument and a weapon, with magical music that can restore life. The journey includes battles against dark minions, elemental environmental puzzles, and platforming sections at great heights. Shahbaz travels through a cursed forest, a darkened kingdom, the Water Princess’s domain, the marble lands of the Monkey Kings, magical cities, and clockwork regions while meeting humans, gods, and mythical creatures.
