Our take on Arcane Worlds
The focus on unrestricted world changes gives up a tightly controlled environment, making the experience centered on exploration and experimentation rather than a clearly defined path through each realm.
What is Arcane Worlds?
Arcane Worlds casts the player as a sorcerer traveling through mysterious realms.
Exploration leads to ancient secrets, while spell creation adds a magical crafting element. Combat pits the sorcerer against creatures and rival mages. The game also allows environmental changes, including construction and destruction, so the worlds can be altered during play. It draws inspiration from classic Magic Carpet while presenting modern graphics and features. Its structure combines adventure, combat, discovery, magic creation, and open-ended world manipulation.
