Magic is big and tricky, but once you learn how one effect feeds into another there’s a world of tactics available. There’s an army of the undead between your chosen character and their revenge, and surviving to get past their personal concerns and eventually save the world is going to take more than fireballs. He gives you some magic bracers, a few basic instructions, and then points you at the bad guy to learn as you go. You choose between a male or female character and promptly get cut down to size by an enemy who stomps the city flat, but the combination of magic potential and a thirst for revenge is too tempting for the mysterious Roth to pass up. Just because a battlemage doesn’t fall down in a handful of hits is no reason to abandon fighting smart and learning complex systems of spell crafting.Īt the start, though, you know nothing. Lichdom: Battlemage does away with the glass cannon aspect of the mage and turns it into a devastating force of unbridled power that tears through fights like an elemental-infused cuisinart, shooting bolts, raining down death, and charging up massive strikes against enemies that are more than capable of working together to hold their own in the face of what should be overwhelming force. Not just in terms of coming up with working strategies for a character class that usually epitomizes the glass cannon cliche, but also in figuring out how to best combine spells for maximized effect. If you’re going to play with magic you need to be smart.
