"Summitsoft is proud to add Empire of Magic to the growing list of solid computer strategy games," says Bruce Lowry, president and CEO of Summitsoft. "Also, with Empire of Magic's intense roleplaying elements, it is just as much a stand alone RPG as much as it is an elaborate strategy game. The game is so massive that we needed two CDs to contain it!"

The final days of a once mighty empire have come at last. The rotting dead rise from their earthbound sanctuary and, like a plague upon humanity, spread death and destruction across the lands. Armed only with powerful magic, players must take on the role of the young mage Artemian on a quest for truth and a ruthless battle for survival.

• Wield powerful magic. Wipe out entire armies or a single foe with 124 potent spells. Acquire new spells and skills by gaining experience in battles.
• Quest for truth and knowledge. Discover the malevolent forces behind the evil uprising before civilization crumbles. An exhausting number of side-quests and extra tasks enrich gameplay and influence your journey.
• Align yourself with influential heroes. Every action and outcome can change a character's or a town's loyalties. Over 100 unique heroes, basic units and creatures and NPC's will help you on your way or cause you a world of hurt.
• Survive countless deadly confrontations. Evil forces are constantly at work to make the journey long and dangerous. Adjustable difficulty settings allow ease of gameplay or greater bonuses and rewards.
