About
Buckshot Battlemage is a lightning fast top down shooter inspired by the flash game classics of the mid 2000s. Survive waves of invaders, massacre your foes, and cast SHOTGUN MAGIC.
Shunned by the Mage's guild for your unconventional slick ass magicks, slaughter your enemies by summoning extra-dimensional warheads, shotgun blasts, and the all powerful CHAINGUN LIGHTNING. Pick and choose from 10 unlockable spells to create your ideal arsenal.
Stack power ups and experiment with new combos to deal death to an ever-growing tide of adversaries. Spend your hard earned gold on WizBay between runs to upgrade your spells and abilities. Become undeniable.
Rack up insane combos and perfect your strategies to attain ridiculously high scores and accrue an unreasonable amount of upgrades. Get into a run or restart nearly instantaneously for quick bursts of pick up and play action. Shoot for higher ranks and unlock additional content as you improve your skills!
Twist the ancient magicks, telefrag your foes to extend your combos and keep the blood flowing. Turn enemy attacks to your advantage by reflecting them back with precise timing. Use hit and run tactics to your advantage - enemies will lose your trail if you are stealthy enough. Master the mechanics, survive until you grow insanely overpowered, and become the WIZARD KING.

Mage Tower Massacre is a certified computer lab classic. Trying to get your score higher is made very fun by the combat, it's honestly really hard to put down. The teleporting is especially fun to utilize, and the 4th stage makes fantastic use of it in particular. Love the worms. It's just a blast to play.
Flash game energy but in a fun and not in a derogatory way
Sick as hell Hotline Miami-styled arcade game, if you like that game or old flash games you will definitely enjoy this.
this is everything i want out of a game tbh
Was a standout at Steam Next Fest. Just a proper arcade game with pure fun and no quills. Nice for taking breaks for a minute or two.
All of the goodness of those popular flash games back in the day. Quick mindless fun.
This game rocks, has a very unique flavor both visually and mechanically. Clearly made by a gamer for gamers. Love the one liners and SFX too, gets a good chuckle here and there. Also softens the blow of getting cheesed by the big boy blasters. Give it a shot, I double dog dare ya.
funny game, satisfying to get super strong. had a great time unlocking all levels and items
Scratches that Hotline Miami shooter itch without the commitment ♥♥♥♥ Archie the Archer
A real nice fast paced and action packed shooter
