About Master of Magic

Master of Magic poster

Master of Magic is a blend of RPG and strategy, remaking a classic from the 1990s. You take on the role of one of 14 unique and diverse great wizards, each competing to dominate the twin worlds of Arcanus and Myrror. From the outset you choose among different schools of magic and fantasy races to command, then lead your minions as you expand your influence and power across the land.

Building and directing armies is at the heart of the experience. You recruit forces of elves, dragons, dwarves, orcs and many more, back them with powerful spells, and fight tactical turn-based battles whose outcomes you can shape with your magic. Beyond the battlefield, you research new spells, dabble in alchemy, perform rituals and wield arcane power to reshape the world around you, all while staying alert to rival wizards chasing the same ambitions.

The scope is considerable, with five schools of magic and 18 traits for customizing your wizard, over 60 special abilities, more than 200 researchable spells and 14 playable races including elves, dwarves, trolls, draconians, orcs, klackons and gnolls. Add 196 unit types, over 250 magical items with custom crafting, and two parallel planes to explore, and this indie strategy RPG offers deep, replayable fantasy conquest on PC.
