About Slaves of Magic
The world was not prepared for the invasion. In a few months, every kingdom of the known world surrendered to the magic-using invaders masquerading as our old Gods. But humanity has not given up yet! Those who dare to oppose the new world order formed the shadow council in secret, and they tasked You to lead the resistance against these false Gods in this turn-based tactical strategy game. Build up the resistanceYou will need to build and manage bases throughout the continent. These will provide the resources necessary to hire and equip your troops and learn more about the magic the invaders are using. Every region has a unique culture that gives access to different equipment, skills, and resources. You will always have to weigh the importance of the regions in the strategic situation you find yourself in. Outsmart the invaders on a strategic levelThe invaders' grip on the continent is not absolute... yet. But they have multiple armies conducting missions every month, and it is your job to figure out the best ways to slow down their advance. The invaders have their own goals they try to achieve with their armies, and they are constantly assessing how much danger the resistance poses to them, and they change those plans accordingly. Manage and upgrade your teamIn combat, you will lead a 6-8 unit team, which you can fully customize with equipment and skills. To reinforce the customization, there are no classes, only attributes like sword-wielding or barbarian, which all units can learn. This gives you the freedom to mix and match them to create your perfect team. Sabotage the invading armies in turn-based tactical combatThe resistance managed to get a working teleporter, which serves as their biggest asset. With proper intel and smart unit placement, your team can teleport to exactly where you need them to be, giving you a head start on every mission. Position and teamwork are key to completing your objective. Try againThe game is being built from the ground up to focus on replayability. There are multiple invading forces with different enemies and a reactive campaign AI necessitating a different approach. Nor you will be able to access or afford everything in one playthrough, giving ample space for experimenting with different approaches. Every invasion story will be yours to write. And humanity can only hope you are up to the task to save it from becoming Slaves of Magic!

Grate indie title, the developer is very responsive and seems to me that does everything to make the game shine. They added many features based on community feedback! The “1.1 major update” released recently is another proof of this. The combat system is a bit unconventional, but clever and innovative, and the hints help to learn it quickly. Many very nice visual details helps to build immersion as well. All in all, a great fantasy XCOM title (turned based tactical combat, whose episodes linked in a campaign), I would definitely recommend if you are into those games!2 found this helpful
Overall this game has a lot of potential. It has definite old X-Com vibes which is what I enjoy most about it. I'm not far into the game yet and will likely be pouring hours into it. I definitely see some strong potential here. Right now, it feels like an incomplete game with the UI feeling incomplete. There are also sections of the game that feel disjointed. The best example would be in the "visit base" screen. The ambiance audio loop feels out of place and the art for a base segment being built doesn't seem to match with the art style for the rest of the game. It is almost like it was some borrowed asset from some other project. Because on the visit base screen, you can see the main map zoomed in, you essentially have four styles of art on the screen at the same time (button art, unit art, detailed base art, simple dude swinging a hammer). PLEASE DEVELOPERS For the love of all things holy, until you have a better UI for movement and the likes, please add an undo movement button. The number of times I've accidentally moved the wrong unit to the wrong location because of the current interface is staggering. You can't rotate the map, so you only get one angle of v…2 found this helpful
it's a xcom variant in a fantasy setting. The core of the game is the turn based tactical combat, it may be confusing at first, since it's very unique, it's structured in phases, but if you get the grasp of it, it's very engaging and interesting. The rest of the gamplay consists of base building, research and party management which also I find very well done. It's class based, you can assign different classes to a character and unlock class specific skills, so have a great flexibility in builds. Beware, the game is hard even at lower difficulty! On the negative side: The tutorial and in-game help are, for now, very limited in scope and desperately need a lot of more info to be helpful. The random character generation2 found this helpful
I Greatly enjoy this game but after patch 3 it is very unstable. I played for 3 hours and had 3 crashers either starting combat or mid combat. the dev is very active so hopfuly it gets polished.1 found this helpful
The game has high build diversity and enemy differentiation, but very little way to showcase it due to the current campaign style. It is simultaneously too long to rapidly try new runs, while not designed for the invaders to fill out their armies by more than a few soldiers in one run or for you to really access every upgrade unless you drag it out. Overall a good time, but with a few changes this could be a real gem. It is still in pretty active development so hopefully such changes are done soon. If you are wavering on whether to try this game or not, just know it is obviously a passion project by people who care. I reported a few small bugs to their discord and they fixed it the very same day.
Sorry this game is overloaded with unclear things: - you don't understand how to move units - how to select next unit - how to hit - what all those icons are - what button on the mouse means what It is just a disaster for me - first time I was so angry that just turn off the game and now I'm writing this. Players shoudn't hack the game to understand how to do basic stuff. You should use common patterns everybody used to. I don't even start about the graphic - it is below "bad". But I though I could get used to it if the game is good. But the game is strange. (I'm really sorry, I know how hard it is to make games and I see the dev's love to their product, but you just should not make players suffer on the basic stuff)
