I flipped this to thumbs up because the developer is responsive, works hard, and fixes bugs despite being limited to communicating to only the Events forum on steam. This in my opinion deserves a good review. Good Work. I will leave my original review below though, because it still does stand: It's not terrible or even bad, but there's just nothing of substance to it. The game has been in EA for years, but it's very bare bones. It needs to be filled out better. - There are not enough useful items to fill a full D&D character. None of my melee have helmets for example because there are only magic user crowns. Items often have redundant bonuses on the same item which don't stack like two physical or magic resistance enchantments. Overall, the weapon selection is good, but the magic item / armor selection is terrible. - There's a lot of silly house rules. You can disable them, but why have them to begin with? - There's also a very big lack of enemies to fight, and you'll pretty much be fighting the same monsters from mid game onward. There does not appear to be a dragon for example like in the cover art, but there's plenty of Cr50+ rats and baboons to fight.. The game has no direction beyond repetitive tavern quests and opening businesses which get to be a pain to manage every 30 days. There are some fun race choices, but not a lot of interesting things you can do with them. Its still not a bad unfinished game though if you can create your own adventure in your imagination.

I picked up Low Magic Age on sale recently, am I'm really enjoying it. It's the best implementation of 3.5e that I've come across. Not everything is quite right, but it really nails the aesthetic and feels like D&D as a video game rather than a video game based on D&D. It feels better than TOEE, and it's far more complete than KOTC. Dungeons are particularly delightful, with traps, treasure chests, and a grid map that feels like it could be on my table right now. There's also a huge amount of customizability, with a lot of settings and house rules you can adjust to match your playing style. I'm a big fan of giving players the ability to play games the way they want, so I'm loving that. It's been in early access since 2017, and some people complain about that, but it's consistently having new features added. That's a selling point to me, as it demonstrates ongoing commitment to developing and refining the game rather than releasing it early and then abandoning it as we see all too often.

It's like Pathfinder or DND 3.5e as an open world sandbox game (or at least that's how it is in Adventure Mode). Most of the mechanics in Low Magic Age are the same as they are in those systems, save for some minor changes like feat functionality and specific class features (Ex: Barbarian eventually gets Damage Reduction equal to their level instead of 1/4 of their level). Though, you don't *need* to have experience in those tabletop systems to understand how to play the game, there's dozens of in-game handouts that explain the various mechanics. It's just that there is less of a learning curve and time spent reading for anyone already familiar. There's two gamemodes in Low Magic Age: Arena mode, and Adventure mode. Arena mode just has you go through waves of creatures to fight, with a team composition of your choosing. I played a round to get a basic grasp of how the combat felt, but switched to Adventure mode immediately afterward. For the purpose of comparison, Low Magic Age's Adventure Mode has elements very similar to Battle Brothers. In Adventure mode, there's no overarching storyline, but there's always something to do. There are dungeons, wandering monsters, and real estate infested with monsters. Almost every settlement usually has some kind of quest to either do a delivery, escort mission, kill a boss, or clear a dungeon. Instead of doing quests or dungeon crawling for money, you can also buy and sell trade goods throughout the settlements. You can also buy properties that are no longer infested by monsters to access the game's crafting mechanics, but I didn't get too far into that yet. The gameplay stays pretty consistent throughout a playthrough, but it can get pretty addicting. I'm currently running an all troll/ogre party of purely martial characters, and I rarely get any trouble besides the occasional high-level boss monster or spellcaster that I don't prepare against in advance. Big thing to note for anyone that buys this game: it starts with Japanese as the default language. That was a little jarring at first, but isn't difficult to change the language (Cog button in the main menu). TL;DR: It's like Battle Brothers but with Pathfinder/DND 3.5e mechanics. I like it.

Picked up this game on the winter sale, and I really enjoy it! I was looking for something similar to the Doors of Trithius from a turn-based combat mode and this is great. Also a nice mash-up with DnD so I definitely like that as well. Looking forward to playing more even with how brutal the game is :) Edit: Don't let the haters stop you by saying how long this has been in early access. Forgot to add that in my original review. I was hesitant because of some of the reviews about "no major features" and "forever early access", but it doesn't feel like it is early access and there's quite a bit of depth in the in-game systems that show its not a complete work in progress.
