Born with magic in your bones, use your wits and power to navigate a simulated fantasy world - dynamic, alive, and increasingly dangerous. Grow in might as a mage in an open-world RPG inspired by Dragonlance, full of kingdoms that will rise and fall, economies that can boom or bust, and monstrous creatures that can overwhelm the land if left unchecked.
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/506480/extras/Tabletop-Like-Freedom-Of-Choice.gif
Immerse yourself in a player-driven story that evolves based on your decisions. Like in pen and paper games, every choice is yours and every choice can change the world. Will you earn the trust of the Conclave only to betray them later? Will you choose a life of crime, stealing from merchants and living on the run? Will you build friendships and rivalries with your companions from mage school? Will you forego a life of magic to pursue the simple existence of a trader? Or will you strive to ascend the heights of power, for good or ill?
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/506480/extras/Shape-The-World.gif
The dynamic and living land of Vaelun reacts to your deeds, giving you the unique opportunity to shape the story and the world around you. Every choice you make can have real and far-reaching consequences for all those who dwell in this world. Pursue power and prominence, eliminate monstrous threats, or spend your days harvesting resources. Serve and protect, or dominate and destroy. Will you become the world's deliverer, or its destroyer? The decision is yours.
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/506480/extras/Unique-Worlds.gif
Create a brand new, procedurally-generated world with its own history, inhabitants, towns, dungeons, monsters, and more. Then explore that world and make it your own as it responds to your actions and decisions. Every life you live as a mage is a unique and personalized experience.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Until things change I cannot recommend anyone to buy the game. With the old map generation things were different, you would be able to search each tile if it had something there (Either for tracks or resources) and if you passed the skill check you were able to either follow the tracks or collect the resource. Now instead you must find enemies through the new event system which is ok, collecting resources on the other hand is borderline impossible. There is no way to figure out if a tile has a resource on it, and asking npc's isn't much of a help either because when you get the place they said to go to nothing happens. And lets say hypothetically you reload a game to a previous state before you found a resource, now it is gone, like it never existed, even if you walk all over the tile. This either needs to change or we need a tutorial that explains how this new system works because I am banging my head against a wall.4 found this helpful
Very good for what there is now. it's not finished yet, but the bones are good.2 found this helpful
Was looking for a new D&Desque experience, sadly, this is not it. The game lacks any real depth and the encounters are far too difficult. I wouldn't recommend this purchase, this will not be a game I will invest any time in.1 found this helpful
I really wanted to like Archmage Rises. The premise is something I've been hunting for for a long time. But the execution? It just didnt land. The game feels like 3 or 4 completely separate systems stapled together with no consideration for cohesion1 found this helpful
This game needs a LOT of more work before I could consider recommending it but I may revisit it after it has received more updates.1 found this helpful
I have very rarely had a response which approaches contempt for an attempt at designing a game, but this is such an occasion.1 found this helpful
