About This Game


In Spellcaster University, you take on the role of the director of a magic university in a colourful world of heroic fantasy. Build your school, manage your budget, recruit teachers. Will you turn it into a black magic academy, with the best professors of necromancy and demonology? Or a place in harmony with nature to train druids and shamans? Or why not train adventurous mages, offering them options to learn how to fight and be stealthy? But this will require surviving the ruthless attacks of the orc tribes and the controls of the education authorities.

  • Build your university using an original magic decks mechanism. Each game will be unique.
  • Access different decks according to the magic taught in your schools. Make choices and take advantage of opportunities to create a unique university.
  • Explore the Arcane Deck to access artifacts with strange powers and rooms that defy reality.
  • Dive into the Deck of Light to take care of your students and teachers.
  • Use the Nature Deck to gain access to a wide range of magical beasts.
  • Choose the Alchemy Deck to boost the production of mana and potions.
  • Yield to the Shadow Deck to teach real discipline to all those nasty students.


  • Manage the well-being of your students by building refectories, dormitories, rest rooms... and ensure their discipline with a dungeon.
  • Select your students: traits, personality, alignment, wealth... each aspect is important.
  • Push your students towards a glorious future. At the end of their studies, discover their future (necromancer, archimage, peasant...) according to the success of their studies, and win new bonuses.


  • Upgrade your rooms with powerful artifacts like the World Tree Wood Table Set or the Soul Eater Bed.
  • Fill your school with legendary creatures: dragons, fauns, pegasus, janitors...
  • Choose the rules of your school: exemplary punishments, recruitment conditions, organic meals, paying dormitories...


  • Choose, through multiple-choice events, how to interact with the different factions of the world.
  • Negotiate with the Adventurers Guild. Ask the king for help. Discuss shamanism with the orcs.
  • Threaten the Dark Lord. Pretend to listen to the grievances of the staff representative. Lie to the witch hunters.
  • Every choice can have short or long term consequences. Be careful before saying “No” to the student delegate!


  • Flee from the armies of darkness by building your university in isolated environments: lake, mountain, desert, volcano, giant turtle back, etc.
  • Collect powerful grimoires to strengthen your university and face increasingly hostile environments.
  • Find new allies to help you in your fight.
  • Take advantage of your trained students' bonuses accumulated throughout the campaign.

Rating: 8.5/10 Positives: - Reminds me of those mall building games on like the flash website (iykyk) lol - Enjoyable game to pass time idly - Unique in the sense it uses cards and not currency to progress your academy. Negatives - Gameplay can get receptive after awhile - Pricey Notes: I got the game when it was on sale and I would recommend you do the same. To be completely honest I personally dont think its worth the 24.99 price tag. The gameplay can become limited at some point and feel a bit repetitive. But it's definitely a game I would play to unwind after a long day. Not super complicated but still need a little strategizing to progress.

Solid game. The original magic school game. Not that cheap 3D grining game. You can finish a game within an evening if you do not linger. Variety and choices within the school building screen and map screen as well as in the adventures. Funny characters and misshaps in the school. Variety of teachers and students. Choose them carefuly. A much better game than any of those other magic school games in every way.

It's not bad really, but does get repetitive pretty quickly. On my second school and the gameplay is pretty much the same with some new student types mixed in. If you want to sit there and try to min-max stats you're able to do that. At the end of the day though, it's just did hit right for me.
