The Last Mage: Trials of Vahrkesh is a semi-realistic story-driven action RPG about a young woman named Aelena who is mysteriously transported from the modern world to a medieval realm through a strange portal. While exploring an ancient library, she discovers a forbidden grimoire that grants her powerful magical abilities. Aelena soon learns of a dark past — a massacre that nearly wiped out all mages, leaving only the tyrannical Dark King and his sorceress lieutenant. The Dark King is using a deadly magic stone to eliminate all future mages and cement his absolute power. To stop this grim fate, Aelena must embark on a perilous journey to find the legendary artifact known as Vahrkesh, completing a series of challenging trials along the way.
