March 2026
I've seen the sheer passion the dev has for this game, and I can't wait to see that passion manifest physically as this game develops. A lot of people have criticized it for what it is now but fail to consider what it may one day be. Archmage seems like a bottle of wine that's just been pressed and left in the cellar. I think once we pop the cork in a few years we'll be quite impressed with the taste.

Great game. Positive: -Lots to do with many quests, conversations, building, dungeons, world map exploration, etc. -Hard to stop playing....one more dungeon. -Good music and fun graphics -All of the game mechanics are tight, easy to pick up and work well together. -Even when the combat seems a for sure thing you stay on edge as it's permadeath! Negative: (it's a WIP) -Combat is samey. Once you know the order of attacks to do all combinations of goblins, wolves, spiders, and crocs down down easy. Also more enemy variety is needed. -Quests are bit mundane and there are too many boring steps before going out to look for them. You have to get quest, then ask them about that item, then ask them where it is, the stumble around in that area until you find the marker. -Music can get under your skin as it repeats none stop (village!). -All the dungeons looks the same. One tileset so far. Needs WAY more variety. Why would wolves be in a castle/keep - though it is described as a cave on world map. Overall a lot of fun and great for the price. Look forward to more content/variety!

Really fun game! I mean it's still early access, but it's fun to play now. You can see where there's work being done and room for more events and such, combat to be a little more balanced and tweaked, but this is a really fun game. There's already more choices and room for independent decisions than most games you see IMO. I can't wait to see as more milestones are hit from the roadmap, and I can't imagine getting more value for my $15 or so. When the DLCs come out, if the Dev has delivered like they promised, I'll be happy to shell out another $20 or so for more content.
