The answer

It is not possible to rule on a specific game without understanding its reality. However, in general, if games are free from شرعي (Sharia-compliant) prohibitions, they are permissible; otherwise, they are forbidden. As for the presence of supernatural abilities in the game, playing it is not forbidden as long as it does not involve imitating the actions of sorcerers and charlatans. If it does include that, then it is forbidden.
