This game had a lot of potential but it's far from a finished product. Unfortunately it appears to have been abadoned. No word from the dev since August. Not even a peep.

About This Game

Welcome to a world of magic, where people and creatures can receive magical capabilities with the infusement of magic energy from rare magical crystals. The most known crystal is the Arcane Crystal which is controlled by the Obrodian Empire, an empire of man. The spoils of war from The Great Elven War over 200 years ago. Ever since the possession of the Arcane Crystal, the Obrodians formed a special order to decide who would be infused by the arcane energies. These individuals had to pass extreme tests both mentally and physically in order to graduate. They would later be known as Arcanists. These arcanist are expert spellswords, with both combat and magic prowess. Although, they have no political power during peacetime, they are given full jurisdiction in certain areas when deployed during war, typically to hold forts, lead armies, or operate intelligence operations.
Our story begins when war has broken out between the northern kingdom of man known as Vuista. The Vuista were originally ascendants of the Obrodians, however a civil war broke out over 100 years ago over the use of the arcane crystal. Although, the Vuista were unable to obtain the arcane crystal for themselves, they were able to separate from the southern region and maintain independence against the Obrodians. Recently, the Vuista have uncovered a new magic crystal known as the “Occult Crystal”. The occult crystal allowed extremely easier blood infusions as a host would only need a small trace of the energy to harness it’s energy because the energy itself fed on blood to grow exponentially. This allowed any user to use raw magical power without the need for long training and discipline. However, because the occult energy fed on blood, it would continue to feed until the user was drained from one’s own blood. This caused the user’s flesh to deteriorate until there was nothing left leaving them a soulless husk. The Vuista used this to their advantage and infused the blood of ordinary foot soldier sending them to the frontlines against the Obrodians. The Obrodians army was much stronger and organized than the Vuista, but the charge of so many magic users took its toll on the Obrodians when the Vuista finally broke into Obrodian territory just a little over a year ago. The arcanist program was accelerated and students were sent into action before graduation. The top students were sent to the more important locations while the possible graduates were sent on patrol missions or small garrisons.
You are one of these students. You are sent away from the frontlines and more towards the south to a small mining town of Auguston. An arcanist student was sent there 6 months ago to maintain a steady shipment of iron for the war efforts and to stop any troll incursions to the west from what’s known as “Monster Mountain” where tribes of monsters make regular raids against Obrodian settlements. However, ore shipment has stopped 3 months ago and any attempt for communication has failed. You are given full jurisdiction of Auguston, tasked with the investigation and reinstatement of Auguston’s ore shipments.

This game sure has potential, but it seems totally abandoned by the developer. If you read the last update news, the developer states that this game is to be developed together with the players (what a farce!). In reality there is NO communication, no updates and nothing on the discussion boards. The only thing that is happening, is an ever larger discount on the game, which leads me to believe its a final attempt to cash in on a failed EA game. I hope the developer proves me wrong and gets the updates going and I will change my review in an instance but until then... STAY AWAY and save your cash!!! (P.S. There seem to be no Steam Trading Cards even though stated on the store page!)
Abandonware. Not updated in half a year, do not buy.
So I've clocked a good chunk of hours into this game, beat it 3 times, and did everything and have followed the updates stringently. For someone who wants a AAA rpg or a generic wrapped up dungeon crawler, look elsewhere. Blood of Magic is the definition of homebrew, but that is not a bad thing. The developers are kind and keep in touch, and every aspect of this game, flawed or fabulous, is unique. I reccomend this game to those who enjoy some good turn based combat, or even town building, as raising up a small woodland town to a big fortress is a very satisfiying feeling. Watching this game grow is going to be awesome, and I'll be in Auguston (main town) for all of it.
Has potential but it's very early days. The controls are clunky with no remap available for several keys (such as run - which you will need often), you cannot turn left or right whilst running and run will randomly lock giving you no option but to mash keys in the hope it stops or reload from your last save. The very first quest is impossible without grind, collectable resources respawn almost instantly after you collect them, there is no map that I know of, and there are many other minor issues at the moment. Steer clear for now but keep an eye on it. Usually I would refund something that is this early in development but as long as they keep working on it this could turn out to be a real bargain. Fingers crossed because as it is now you are likely to just spend two hours running around picking up plants and rocks then dying.
I dont do alot of game reviews lately because there isnt much to get excited about out there, and then I found this game. Imagine a game that brings the old school feel of Dungeons and Dragons to the modern gaming platform. The world you will discover in Blood of Magic is full of mysteries and wonders. You will enter this world as the hero, an Arcanist. The Arcanist is a fighting spellcaster, using both sword and magic to deal with his enemies. There are quests to be completed to help the town you will oversee. You decide your character and your party members progression. You have the abiltity to build new buildings, upgrade them, hire new unique party members, gather resources, craft new items and more. You take control of your party members in turn based combat against challenging enemies. You decide who you want in your party based on their abilities and the situation. With the gear you craft and aquire, you can outfit your character and party members. There are unique an...
Abandoned long ago. Early access strikes again.
Abandonned way too early, not much to do.
So is this game dead? Did they stop updating it? What the hell is going on!
