Every run in School of Magic is about building a new hack and slash character from scratch, but the level system is a deckbuilding card game. With each level, your spell pool grows and mutates into a unique skill tree, leading to outrageous broken builds.

About

School of Magic lets you create a new character every run and carve through enemies for loot and power.
Leveling is its own deckbuilding system:
At each level one card disappears
The rest grow stronger
Three new ones are added
Do you play it safe or push your luck for something bigger?
The result is a unique skill tree in every run.

Before each run, you don’t pick a rigid class — you build one yourself. By assembling a spell deck, you decide which abilities can appear, almost like crafting a personal Magic deck. This freedom adds a whole new layer of metagame strategy to the deckbuilding genre. Every decision shapes not only how you carve through hordes of enemies, but also how you’ll survive the bosses that push your build to its limits.

School of Magic brings its world to life as you experiment, fail, and try again. Every run unlocks new cards and new story fragments, so even defeat pushes the tale forward. With endless combinations and broken builds waiting to be discovered, no two runs will ever feel the same.

Super Spiel und freue mich auf den Release! Das Spiel macht bisher einen guten Eindruck. Was ich ganz interessant finde, ist das Lvl aufsteigen. Denn nach jeden LvL Aufstieg bekommt man Karten, die man gegen Gold verkaufen und aufwerten kann. Das Karten System ist echt cool, jede Karte kann dich zu einem mächtigen Zauberer machen, aber Vorsicht auf der Map lauern auch trügerische Belohnungen. ;) Bitte installiert dieses Spiel, Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen. <3

While its short duration and limited replayability might leave you wanting more, the engaging storyline and immersive setting make it a delightful experience. Just be prepared for a few graphical and audio inconsistencies along the way. Perfect for fans of fantasy looking for a quick magical fix!
That is an excellent demo. This is a game where a lot depends on the RNG roll, however if you spot the obvious winners early enough in your run, you can coast through to the end. Regardless, I can see where this would be a fine game in the future with a ton of flexibility in your build style. Wishlisted.
[h1]Before I played School of Magic Prologue, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
great concept nice game , i recommend your group can reference steam game(omnifootman) passive skill + class ) and moving by WASD not mouse will more smoothly and maybe can make a class like archer warrior magic , and some item and armor (lite rpg) the game will be more playble. and nearly can't regen mana its weird , skill cd taking too long looking forward : )
Great Game with lots of potential. Looking forward to the final version.
Sehr vielversprechend! Hut ab! Habe ich so noch nicht gesehen und hoffe ich kann bald weiter spielen. Die Lore könnte noch etwas Liebe vertragen, aber das Spiel ist ja noch in Entwicklung... Prädikat: Geil!
lack of content but nice
Its a BIT clunky but man i'm really liking where this game could go. maybe tweak the shaders a bit too as the contrast is a little bit high for my liking but the feel of the game and the core mechanics are great. im tempted to say dont add too much and make it too complicated as it feels pretty good so far nice job u guys
