Battlemage: Magic by Mail

I'm really hesitant to criticise this game (but I'm gonna anyway) because most of the issues I had with it where more to do with the fact that it is more geared toward a younger audience rather than young adults and above which is my fault for doing more research. This review would be somewhat neutral, coming from a young adult so take this with a grain of salt starting with the negative as I may be salty for getting the 'bad' ending. [h1]-Cons:[/h1] The pacing was fine up to the midpoint of the story, but after that, we rush over through the introduction of new characters, the climax, and 3 obvious 'plot twists', like we are just teleporting from one scene to the next quickly without letting anything sink in. I would normally replay games to see the other ending, but after my first playthrough I just found the story structure rather basic and unsatisfying when completed, I'll properly dislike this game more if I force myself to continue. [h1]+Pros:[/h1] If there's something I like about this game for, it is the options to customize your character from their appearance, sexuality, and the type of magic through the journey where you would have multiple choices to choose from t…

Necromancy in this game is useless in combat! Who would have known?! I've focused on necromancy and can't do anything. And what magic schools are most impactful besides elemental magic? Ilusion and healing. Ilusion and healing are the most helpful in combat and other events! Just animate some corpses, summon a demon or shoot necrotic energy from your palms ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! What a stupid idea to have necromancy as a ,,subtle magic school that helps in subterfuge". Uhh!

After reading some of the reviews I can see how the reviews have earned the "Mixed" tag. After completing my first (and likely only for now) playthrough of the game, I can say that I'm quite satisfied with how it went. There were some loose ends, but I think that was intentional. I recommend this game, but take that with a grain of salt as maybe I was one who "saw things the way the author saw it" and did the right things. Now, for a more in depth analysis, you can continue reading below (little to no spoilers of course) I decided that going into this I would be a Paladin (Buff guy who wields healing magic). Not to get into too many spoilers, I saved the day and got with a romantic partner, so I was satisfied on that front. And in response to the one review that said Healing wasn't there when he needed it, I agree that there were some moments that I thought, "Man, I could use this." But there were more impactful moments that it really shined through. Anyway, there appeared to be other ways to play. I think I could've achieved similar results wielding elemental magic or abandoning magic altogether, but maybe some other characters would've died. The achievement "But at…

Bad story. The plot is simple and very predictable. All characters are 1 dimensionall and lack depth. The word presented is in such simplistic way that it leaves no room for growth, also the more you think about it the more it does not make sense. The story is so short that it does not give time for anything to develop besides the main plot as well as its railroaded for the entirety of it and also it's quite short going over raw facts possessing barely any substance. [u]All in all this is a bland, simple, predictable, short story with uninteresting characters where you have little to no influence over your character and the plot. The only things that this has going for it is that it exists and is cohesive.[/u]

The story is good but it was rush. Any scene or action are rush. Look at the number of word in the story before by.
