About Magehunter: Phoenix Flame
Wield ancient technology to overthrow your mage oppressors! Can your secret order of mage hunters save the kingdom, or will internal strife tear you apart?
Magehunter: Phoenix Flame is an interactive fantasy novel by Nic Vasudeva-Barkdull, set in the same world as Battlemage: Magic By Mail. It's entirely text-based, 300,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Generations ago, invaders brought magic to the Kingdom of Jubai, setting battlemages at the top of the noble power structure and leaving everyone else oppressed. Now, a secret organization of mage hunters has risen up, phoenix-like, to stand against the mages’ power and overthrow their rule.
As one of these mage hunters, you wield the power of slipflame, a potent energy source that powers hunter technology. When you are called to go into battle against the mages, will you blast explosive bolts from your bow, throw silence bombs to cover your stealthy approach, or control your enemies from afar with puppet darts?
But the mages are not the only foes that you will face. The mage hunters have split into factions, and internal discord threatens their mission. Is there still hope for peaceful elections—and if so, which candidate will you support? And what secrets lie buried in the history of your realm? When the time comes for your uprising against the mages, will you stay loyal to your order—or will the mages’ power lure you to their cause?
Rise from the ashes, and be reborn a mage hunter!

Super railroaded and you are forced to be super duper nice to everyone shame it could of been good.13 found this helpful
game is way too railroaded and you are forced to interact with annoying characters that you cant be hostile to or avoid12 found this helpful
A really fun time in a very compelling world. I like my squadmates, even if they fly apart pretty easily, and piecing together the hidden realities of the world is a cool scavenger hunt. One thing I wish was articulated a bit more clearly is the nature of the "war" you're dropped into between hunters and mages. Based on how society seems to treat the parties involved, think "gang war" more than "world war," and things will make a lot more sense.10 found this helpful
Highly recommended, mostly for the writing but also the extensive accessibility options. It's also very light on your computer and loads super fast.2 found this helpful
