ManaCollect is competitive minesweeper where two players compete to clear the same board. If you can mark all the bombs by yourself you get a massive bonus, and if you make a mistake, you lose all the correct mines you have identified no the board. Each character also has a special skill that can be used strategically to hinder the opponent's mine finding efforts. When you have found enough mines you can launch attacks on the other player which, after you deal sufficient damage, will win the game.

Overall I found the game somewhat mediocre. It is fun if you have a friend who also loves minesweeper I guess. The story is kind of nonsensical, I beat it and have no idea what is going on, but it does shine in multiplayer. I agree with the other comments that it is way better with a controller. The graphics are nice and the controls are snappy enough that you can usually mark hexes quite quickly without input error. The main issue for me is that I really have no inclination to play this game, by myself or with a friend, after the ~10 hours I put into it. There are simply other games are are more fun. I think if you can buy this game on sale and don't have expectations you will play it for that long, it is a decent pick.

7/10
