The object of MAG is to keep yourself (you being the hero, of course) alive and to explore deeper and deeper levels of the dungeon until you come across the Sudbury Sapphire. The Sudbury Sapphire is currently in the possession of a race of dragons who deem themselves to be the rulers of the Underworld. Thus, they call themselves Imperial Dragons. The Imperial Dragons are said to keep their lair (and treasure) somewhere beyond the 20th level of the dungeon which so far has prevented many a sturdy adventurer from recovering the Sapphire. The dungeon is rumored to go MUCH deeper then the Dragon’s Lair but no one has yet ventured beyond.
The Sapphire itself is considered to be one of the strongest Good-aligned magical forces in the world. It is said to bring its possessor incredible powers when used in the sunlight, but is has only a fraction of its power in the darkness below ground. The Evil Imperial Dragons have always kept it at a safe, DEEP dungeon level well below the surface.
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to find the Sapphire and return to the surface with it.
Another thing that really makes MAG enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to MAG. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
