The studio is perhaps best known for Torment: Tides of Numenera, Wasteland 2, and the the legacy of Interplay’s Golden Age which Fargo carries with him. As a founder of Interplay he oversaw many teams and developers who would go onto great things; Blizzard, Treyarch, Bioware, to name a few.
A Mage’s Tale offers multiple methods of play, from spell-slinging shootouts, to exploration and puzzle sections. It also has multiple movement methods, players can either point-and-click to move using the controller, or they can navigate using a square-by-square movement system.

The Mage’s Tale has launched exclusively for the Oculus Rift, however other platforms -including the Vive- will be supported in the future.
