Battle Mage

You guide the character with the arrow keys, using one button to swing a sword and another to cast a selected spell. The main goal is to survive waves of creatures that close in from all sides. You constantly switch between melee attacks for nearby threats and ranged spells for groups further away, managing a cooldown or resource for your magic. The pace is insistent, with little room for hesitation as enemies become more numerous. It creates a tense, focused loop of movement and combat.
