Our Expert Score

91/100

Tepes Ovidiu has a reputation for creating incredibly polished, thoughtful indie games, and 'Almost Out of Mana' is his best work yet. It strips away all the 'fluff' of modern gaming—no daily rewards, no battle passes, just pure, brilliant puzzle design.

The premise is hilarious (reclaiming a pair of lucky pants), but the gameplay is surprisingly deep. The 'limited mana' mechanic forces you to think three or four steps ahead, making it feel more like a game of wizard chess than a standard RPG. The art style is clean and charming, and the lack of a timer makes it the perfect 'thinking person's' game. It's a premium title that is worth every penny.

Mana Conservation

Analyze the entire board before casting your first spell. Often, a single high-cost 'chain' spell is more mana-efficient than several small attacks.
