'Worlds of Magic' Early Access Gets Content Update - Screens

by Rainier on Dec. 12, 2014 @ 1:08 a.m. PST

Worlds of Magic: Planar Conquest is a 4X strategy game set in a fantasy universe combining the outstanding features of the greatest classic 4X games with innovative, exciting, and unique new features.

Worlds of Magic combines classic elements like randomly generated world maps and powerful heroes with new game mechanics, such as the D20 OGL rule set, and expanded features, like seven planes of existence. Although a completely new title from a design point of view, it seeks to hold true to the essence of what made Master of Magic a true classic. 

Worlds of Magic uses the D20 OGL Rule Set for its tactical combat background mechanics. D20 is one of the most prolific rule sets ever used to simulate medieval combat and has literally billions of play hours attesting to its success. It allows us to create interesting units with unique feats, abilities, and statistics while at the same time providing a framework for maintaining balance.


After Orcs it's now the time for the race of Dwarves to join Worlds of Magic and fight for domination in the brand new Hot Seat gameplay mode.

Worlds of Magic has just been enhanced with a big list of new features and improvements. To try them all out right away jump to the game's Steam Early Access page HERE or visit developer's store HERE.
