    The game wields enough classic strategy and roleplaying elements to make up for its lack of visual flair. [July 2003, p.86]

    An odd duck of an RPG, Empire of Magic both entertains and annoys. [Aug 2003, p.82]

    Some of the individual aspects of the game need to be reworked simply because they seem forced. The game strives to attain a lofty place, but comes up a little short.

    A turn-based role-playing game with a strange combat system, and at times it plays more like a poorly designed board game, where the rules don't make much sense but instead exist only to make you carefully scrutinize your every move.

    There's precious little fun to mine in Empire of Magic, and no reason in my opinion to go through the effort.
