    Too uneven to be great but there are few games that have done powerful destructive magic better. [Issue#265, p.54]

    This game has a curious blend of strengths and weaknesses. What’s done well is exemplary, while the game’s problem areas were excised altogether.

    Visually and technically just a tragic game of a magician. But beneath a cheap and repulsive peel it hides a catchy destructive entertainment. Apart from the action and sophisticated system of spells, it does not offer anything else, so check your preferences before you buy. If you have the desire to use your omnipotent magic and wipe a pair of cities to the ground (expecting nothing more from the game), you will hardly find a better choice.

    + 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.    … Full Review »
