Never has magic felt as powerful as it does in Lichdom, where it is free from the shackles of mana bars and long cooldowns. What matters is that I can summon ice and fire to my palms and fling them at scowling demonic warriors. The cutscenes recently added to this unfinished game are gorgeous and dramatic, and the new voice-overs are delivered with conviction, but I am not sure where I am and why I'm there. I admit I have very little idea of what's going on in Lichdom: Battlemage. The review below critiques a work in progress, and represents a snapshot of the game at the time of the review's publication. While the games in question are not considered finished by their creators, you may still devote money, time, and bandwidth for the privilege of playing them before they are complete.
Sad to say but, save your money on this one.GameSpot's early access reviews evaluate unfinished games that are nonetheless available for purchase by the public. If it gets patched this might have potential, but the tree in Wander moved faster than this and the framerate never got above 20. Just walking in the opening minutes of the game proved painful. The fireball i shot was delayed and then it went to another loading screen. By the time i receive my first sigil, game staple "fire", the framerate had gotten so sluggish that my character wasnt moving but the background was. It begins to give me a headache, i push through, excited by some of the aspects the game promises. Looking around, everything is hazy, like I'm drinking too heavily.
Upon loading I was treated to another cutscene where i could control the camera. I fought through it even as the game loaded up for 8 minutes. The gesturing of some of them is laughably bad. The voice work does not match the character models. I turned this on and got through the opening cutscene before I had to switch it off. I like supporting lesser known studios and niche titles, especially new ideas or new takes on existing ideas.
