Master of Magic Reviews

I'm so glad this remake was at least done properly. Planar Conquest (and whatever it was called before they changed the name) had a cool concept, but still didn't do the mechanics or aesthetics justice. This version's not stupendous either. It's slower that I think a game like this ought to be, and can be glitchy at times (a simple reset fixes it). But the fact that it's moddable makes a huge difference. A lot of other people who love the game as much or more than I do have put a lot of time into making some absolutely great mods that you should definitely check out. Plus there have been enough free updates and some DLC that can make it feel like a whole new game. And yeah, the AI isn't good. But I think that makes the game more approachable to people who haven't played the original, because it makes easy mode basically winnable for children of all ages. And as I write this, there's a 60% off sale -- you really should pick it up at that price, even if you're on the fence about it. Oh and 1 last thing, if you ever played Age of Empires or Caster of Magic (I think there maybe another one I'm forgetting), don't go into this game thinking it's a remake of those, because it is not. It is its own amazing game.

A remake that is true to the original. I am hooked! I'm not a big fan of the art style, but it doesn't take away much from my enjoyment. I don't know why I waited so long before buying it. Don't be me! if you liked the original, give this a shot!

the audio cuts out and it took almost 20 min to even start a game from booting the game up. it could be my potato of a PC but i have played other games with higher Requirements and it did not run this bad

Ok, I am sure I am in the minority, but I kinda like the game. I spent a LOT of time in the original MoM and this is a good adaptation. It has some flaws, but, as a whole, it works for me.

Its a bit of a cash grab. The original was well balanced and thought out, this isnt. Stick with the original on Dosbox i'd say.

No multiplayer on a modern turn based strategy game is actually kind of crazy.

I've been pretty disappointed with video game remakes in the past. Not this time, in fact I'd say it's the best remake. Why? 1. It keeps the original mechanics of the game. 2. It has lots new mechanics that are OPTIONAL. But I've tried four different optional updates, including the 2 DLCs, and I gotta say, I loved them and felt they blended in seamlessly. 3. Allows workshop content. 4. Not buggy.

I wanted to play the classic game, but it wouldn't let me switch and steam wouldn't give me a refund so I could just download the basic game.
