Magi

Can be a very challenging game. Earning even one of the few achievements will be demanding on your arcade skills. Mage battling mage, variety of spell casters with strengths and weaknesses, special abilities unique to each caster -- all good. Spells organized into four categories; choose your poison. Learn what the stats mean as you level up and choose what to raise and which new spell to learn. Develop a winning battle plan that may not work on every opponent. With all the spellcaster types, special abilities, stats and spells, you can easily sink hours into making different combinations that may or may not work. Game is fast-paced and experimentation is essential. Graphics are simple, but the explosions are colorful and in every battle you are treated to a light show. Main problem is that there is no standard save system, which means that if you fail a tough battle, you cannot repeat it. The game simply moves on to the next opponent, which sucks if you want a second or third chance at defeating the final opponent, DEATH INCARNATE, and earning a tough achievement. Might be worth it to some at $9.99. A steal if on sale. If you always wanted to be a spellcaster and battle other spellcasters, you should get this game.

Well, I don't have a lot of time with this game yet, but it is such a great concept i had to post something now while it's on sale. There's not a whole lot to the game, but it's polished and fun to play! It's very well thought out and balanced. It's a lot like the movie "The Raven", with Boris Karloff and Vincent Price! It's basically one-on-one, head-to-head magic user battles! I recommend this game to anyone that likes magic and fierce battles like in the movie; "The Raven". My main reason for this prematue review is to let OS X user's know this games works great on my MacBook Pro. I will update this once I play more. PROS: +10 different magic user's to level up and build to your liking. +Nice character customization with skill trees for each one. +Each character is different and has their own special skills. +Many different spells to use and stack to make them stronger. +Different types of spells including damage based, protection, summoning, etc. +The whole UI fits on one page during battles. No needs to change screens during battle. +Great descriptions of everything! You can right-click on anything to get a detailed description of what it is and what it does. +Indepth tutorial! A little confusing at times, but it corrects you too! Oh boy does it correct you! lol +The ability to queue up spells for strategic attacks and defense. You can also remove spells from your queue to change strategy on the fly. +Simple but very strategic gameplay. CONS: -You cannot name your character. -The tutorial was a bit confusing, but that was probably my fault. I'm getting old. -The game had one bug so far. After completing the first tutorial battle, I went to the main menu and viewed my Grimoire, which is basically your progress screen. My "Wins" score was incorrect. -There is an age limit (I think 50 years) where you must fight the final boss. I guess the game ends then. Not sure. Each battle is a year. So 50 battles it's bad I guess. There are 10 characters to build up, so it has replayability. -Not much of a story, but this games doesn't really require one! Just battle it out! :-) The game runs smooth as silk on my MacBooK Pro: Hardware Overview: Model Name: MacBookPro 11,5 (Mid 2015) Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 16 GB Type: DDR3 Speed: 1600 MHz Video Card: AMD Radeon R9 M370X, VRAM 2048 MB Operating System: OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 (64 bit OS)

Graphically dated real time strategy where you have to manage not an army, but inner powers of a mage of your choice.

It seems the computer opponent is overpowered unless the game is played a certain "correct" way. Which after 5 matches I'm pretty sure isn't to concentrate on putting up shields first. I'd want to put up a shield first if I was a Magus with a long flammable beard - wouldn't you?

Build a wizard! Engage in duels! This game is a fun take on magical combat, and allows for a hilarious amount of build variety. A sadly-underrated and undervalued game. Give it a look!

Hard game but quite a fun one. Play as one of many dueling wizards. Love how each one is a little bit unique. Easy to Learn. Played this one before Steam. Have put many hours into it.

This game isn't bad... per say. It's hard to figure out what the balance it's going for is. The mechanics aren't bad, just kinda simple. This is both good and bad in terms of gameplay, as it's easy to understand, but also somewhat limiting in terms of what you can do in a given situation. If things go well, they get kinda boring. If things go poorly, there seems to be no coming back. I wish there were a 'meh' hand instead of up or down.

I played this game in 2007. I was in love with it. Because it was a demo version, I was never able to higher than level 5 or so. Now I found it on steam (it was very hard to find on internet) and without considering, I grabbed it. I love the nostalgia feeling.

As a longtime fan being able to play this masterpiece; it's so amazing. I use to play it so much as a kid, I spent hours playing through all the different levels. It is the ultimate time killer. For a game made around such a simple concept, it's somehow really complex; the skill trees are pretty detailed as are the characters you can play. Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to kill an hour or two and enjoy it.
