About the Game

The Magus Circle comes from developer By Witchlight and blends action, rogue-lite structure, and a vampire-survivors style loop with one major twist: you cast spells by drawing them. Magic is under attack, a cosmic war has pulled you in without your consent, and your job is to protect the Magus Circle, humanity's greatest ally. You do not need to be an artist. The game treats every sigil as magical even when your lines are messy, which keeps the focus on quick decisions and experimentation rather than precision sketching.
At the center of combat is hand drawn spellcasting. Instead of tapping a fixed skill bar, you actively draw arcane sigils to trigger spells. This makes each encounter feel physical and immediate, and it pairs well with the rogue-lite loop of surviving waves, adapting your build, and pushing deeper. The spell system is broad: 20 unique spells can be augmented by 600 possible upgrades, so runs can diverge sharply based on which sigils you favor and how you enhance them.
Content and progression are layered around that core. You fight hordes of foes across 4 unique planets and confront colossal bosses. You can play as the 6 mages of the circle, and each mage has their own skill trees, abilities, and emotional baggage, which gives you different reasons to return to the roster. Outside of combat, you unlock familiars, wager your winnings, concoct potions, grow a garden, and explore the manor. Getting to know your fellow mages and uncovering the secrets of The Circle gives the game a story thread that runs alongside the action.
Controls are flexible by design. The Magus Circle supports drawing tablets, touch screens, and controllers. If your drawing tablet uses Microsoft Ink, you should disable that setting for your drawings to work. The developers recommend a mouse, drawing tablet, or touch screen for the best play experience. For controller play, accessibility settings let you slow or freeze time when drawing, or use a button press mode, so drawing based casting stays manageable regardless of your preferred device.
