Mirage: Arcane Warfare adds bots to make up numbers

First person hack-and-slash-and-magic ’em up Mirage: Arcane Warfare [official site] this week received its first major update since launching in May, with new weapons, maps, and abilities added to the game. Most importantly, the Gladiator Update added bot-assisted servers in which AI combatants will make up the numbers if players don’t fill all the slots.

The reason that’s important is that barely anybody is playing Mirage. There are 13 players online as I wrote this, according to SteamCharts, and the peak number of players in the last 30 days is just 49. Which is a great shame, because it’s genuinely a lot of fun. It’s from the makers of the excellent Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and if you think what that game would be like with magic then you’re not too far off.
