    Fictorum, to me, feels like a game that has a single focus, its destruction mechanic, and everything else was slapped on after that was nailed down. It feels like the kind of game that is acting more as a business pitch to bigger companies, a way for the developers to say look at this cool thing we did instead of hey gamers, check out our awesome game. There is a great mechanic here that is fun to play with, but Fictorum lacks any kind of soul beyond that. It’s worth checking out for a weekend or two, but I can’t recommend much more than that.

    Pros:
    + Neat on-the-fly spell adaptation
    + Destruction mechanics
    + Neat way of telling the story (it's all in past-tense as if it's an ancient legend being told)
    + Still in development, so there's lots of potential for future updates

    Cons:
    - Runs like absolute trash on all but the best setups
    - Somewhat bland gameplay (although this formula IS good for short bursts)
    - Still in development, so there's currently not much here

    Overall:
    Fun for 15 mins. Gets bland pretty quickly. In its current state, I wouldn't recommend it unless its free.
