School Of Magic Gets Update Prologue/Demo, Full Release Planned For Q3 2022 - Trailer

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.

Whenever you start the exam, you will have new spells to learn, a new world to explore and new characters to meet. Unlock new spells and encounters to increase the number of options you have in each run.

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.


has released an updated prologue/demo, which brings the following changes

  • Pacing changes
    • Improved director logic
    • Changed enemy behaviour
  • Improved visuals
    • Demon encounter redesign
    • Potion dealer redesign
    • New UI elements
    • Improved lightning
    • Improved post processing
  • Added default interactions
    • Sell cards for gold
    • Upgrade cards for gold
  • Performance Improvements
  • Bug fixes
  • Changed Stun
  • Cutscene Changes
    • Changed camera on some cutscenes
    • Improved lightning and visuals
    • Changed behaviour after the cutscene

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.

School Of Magic is coming to PC (Steam) in Q3 2022.
