    This game is not hardcore. It's a pale, buggy imitation of Masters of Magic from 20 years ago with much of the magic removed. It's not a horrible 4X game, but there are a few major issues.

    1. It's buggy. As hell. Like that tactical combat didn't work on release. Or lockups when taking cities. Or corrupting saves. Or a host of other issues. It should have never been released in this    This game is not hardcore. It's a pale, buggy imitation of Masters of Magic from 20 years ago with much of the magic removed.

    1. It's buggy. As hell. Like that tactical combat didn't work on release. Or lockups when taking cities. Or corrupting saves. Or a host of other issues. It should have never been released in this condition.

    2. Some of what made MoM great has been removed. For instance there are more shards now but none of them have the features or coolness of the old Myrror in the original game.

    These are just a couple of examples of issues. Major spell/racial imbalances, map zooming issues, control issues, AI issues...the list goes on and on. At this point it's so unpolished you can't even tell if it's a diamond or a cubic zirconia. It's just a rock.

    What it is right now is a buggy, pale version of a former classic. After a couple of games I see no reason to return to it. Save your money.    … Expand

    A strategic game pointing more about amarcord rather than on its effective qualities, much more limited than the amount of feature would initially suggest. A varied product but, definitively not exciting.

    All-too similar playable factions is just one of letdowns of Worlds of Magic. Building and expanding a fantasy empire feels like a chore.

    Worlds of Magic is a nice modernization of Master of Magic. It is a pity that the AI is too passive and the UI feels like it is still 90s. [May 2015]
