School Of Magic is a hack and slay roguelike with a deck building leveling system where you combine spells, face reckless creatures and make wise choices on the way to passing the entrance exam.School Of Magic combines the strategic Depths and replayability of the deckbuilding genre with the intense combat and atmosphere of an Isometric Action RPG.
You have decided to apply to the school of magic, but you can`t find the exit of the magical world the wizards have created as an entrance exam. It is almost as if they don`t want anyone to pass, but that is not going to stop you. You will try again and this time you will combine the right spells to overcome the challenges these old privileged wizards have put in place.
Deckbuilding is a pretty new video game mechanic and the current games have not been as immersive as your usual real-time games. I want to change that with School of Magic where you play a hack and slay roguelike but during the leveling process, you are creating your own unique build via the deckbuilding mechanic. Leveling in School of Magic means facing difficult decisions such as.
- Do I need an AOE spell or should I restore some life now?
- Should I wait for this spell to level up or will it be removed on my next level?
- This ice spell is so awesome, but I already increased my fire damage, is it really worth it?
Besides leveling and killing monsters, you will meet weird characters like Madam Sasa a fortune teller that will help you get a glimpse of your future for a small price. If you are able to make the right decisions and find the exit of this magical world, you will fulfill your dream and become a real wizard.
Will there be a beta, and if so, when?: There will be a closed beta later on but currently, but I do not have any fixed dates yet. Join my discord server to register for the upcoming beta.
Is this game really a deckbuilding game?: The term deckbuilding as it is commonly used in video games seems to be quite fitting, but instead of playing cards for combat, you have real-time Hack and Slash combat. If you are a board game player, the more appropriate term would be drafting.
Is this game an asset flip?: The short answer to this question is yes because it was the only way I could create this game. If you want to know more, I wrote an article about it.
How many people are working on this game?: The game is being developed only by me (Nikolas Crisci).
School Of Magic is in development for PC (Steam) for 20,99€ / 24.99$
