Playing like a first-person shooter, Lichdom: Battlemage is unique in that there are no guns, no knives, and no swords - just raw magic - making the game the first of its kind to employ magic as the exclusive form of weaponry.

Lichdom: Battlemage centers on the concept of unbridled power and magic with absolutely no mana bars and zero cool downs. When the wicked overlord known as Shax rips your closest loved one from the world, you set out on a journey to hunt him down. Before you embark on your quest for vengeance, a wizard grants you unlimited magical powers and designates you "Dragon," the most powerful battlemage on earth.

In the eight weeks between now and the game’s launch on PS4 and Xbox One, gamers will have numerous chances to win a pre-order copy of the game, as well as an exclusive Lichdom: Battlemage t-shirt.

Each Friday starting today, Maximum Games will release a video at 9am EST on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter detailing one of the distinct magical Sigils used within the game: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Kinesis, Corruption, Necromancy, Delirium, and Phase. Each Sigil is a base from which you can craft thousands of spells. Today’s Sigil is Fire, which is often used for pure destruction.

“Crafting is the core of the game,” said Jon Manahan, Director of Production at Maximum Games. “These videos will provide gamers a sneak peek into the immense control and creativity placed in the hands of players.”

Along with each Sigil video, a question will be asked that viewers can answer via YouTube or Facebook comments, or a Tweet to @MaximumGames. Contestants have until the following Friday to submit a response, after which Maximum Games will randomly select five (5) winners. All winners will receive an exclusive Lichdom: Battlemage t-shirt, but one (1) randomly selected winner will also receive a free pre-order copy of the game through Amazon for either PS4™ system or Xbox One. The giveaway is open to US contestants only.
