Our take on Battle Mages

Rather than keeping strategy and role-playing separate, Battle Mages combines real-time battlefield control with spellcasting, character statistics, troop development, and branching quest conditions. Its central structure asks players to manage both an individual mage and forces on a wider fantasy map.

What is Battle Mages?

Battle Mages combines real-time strategy with role-playing in a fantasy setting of magic, mythical creatures, knights, and an undead army.

A newly graduated mage travels through the Internal World, completing tasks in Mage Towers and searching for a lost gnome artifact linked to an approaching threat. Quests can shift according to the mage’s choices. The game includes five playable races with different strengths and weaknesses, character progression with 45 spells, six mage statistics, and special abilities, plus troop development and direct unit control. Its world includes changing weather and seasons alongside forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, canyons, and a sea island.
