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.

Simple, well-designed game, very thoughtful and polished for it's particular niche. Anyone a fan of the old SSI AD&D party-based games like the Savage Frontier, ...of Krynn, or later Pools... series will find familiarity. There is an overland map. You travel to POI. Enter them. From there, it deviates to where any settlement is just interactive menus, so no exploring it or anything. If it's a dungeons or lair, it's a 2D grid/maze, similar to if you're playing the old dice/tabletop D&D if the dungeonmaster is using grid paper. You go through corridors/tunnels, encounter traps, treasure, and reach rooms and chambers. If you encounter enemies though...then the game goes into a turn-based combat just like those old SSI games would. Combat is your party vs. enemies, as icons on the screen on a tactical map. Move up and smack the enemy. Cast spells at them, Fire arrows. They attack back, notably try to use tactics at times. For example, ran into some evil dark conjurers who summoned a golem and whirlwind elemental who tanked my party, while they hung back flinging various magic spells and curses our way. In another battle, some enemies broke off from the main group to try and flank and separate us. Travelling on the overland map is in real-time and there's a plethora of points of interests (POI) to explore. There are enemies roaming the map at the same time. Similar to Mount & Blade. You create your party and adventure around. Stop in towns to resupply, buy/sell loot, get quests, or find other heroes to replace members of your current party if you want. Added to the game is the ability to buy licenses for trade in settlements, buying property likes mines, harvesting materials, collecting artifacts or mats, and selling them, doing quests to retrieve them for settlements, or outright using them for crafting items. There's a lot of crafting and your characters can be trained in the different crafting schools and work on leveling those skills up. The game has a Steam Workshop that's great for getting new character portraits and icons/avatars. While the default game has many, it's great how easy it is to simply get more to choose from. Like if you want, make your characters look anime lol. The game is simple and it works and still receives updates due to it's still technically Early Access. But's already a pretty solid game with different game modes. Again, it's pretty simple, it's not an AAA title and some might feel it's too "cheap" but I don't think the intention was to make some grandiose eye-candy game. It's very utilitarian, practical. If I had to share what I think could make the game better, it would be: Needs better sound FX: When an enemy dies, it should play a sound, like the old SSI games "AAHHH" or something. Instead, there is just a red skull and they disappear. There's no weight to some of the combat. While a fireball will burst around the enemies, melee and ranged attacks made a "tick"-box type noise. The game can be modded but still, nothing is there for "On Hit" or "On Death" situations. Need ability to rest in settlements: While your party can setup camp anywhere on the over-world map, or while in a dungeon, you can't rest in towns. Very odd to me you can't just hole up at an inn and rest safely. Finally, it would be cool if they could up the graphics a bit, make them a bit more flashy or just some animation. Those are all wish-list but highlights some of areas where others might find it needing a bit "more" to feel really satisfying. All that side, if you enjoy the good ol' pen and paper D&D, or the old SSI games, want something simple, but with depth, that works, gets the job done, with lots of options, with a good soundtrack, then you might really enjoy this. It's quite stable, I've not encountered any bugs or crashes. Very smooth. It's very easy to just jump in/out to play. No linear gameplay, no forced cutscenes or bloat. You jump in with your party and it's all about: "What do you want to do next?" then go do it. Easy. And thankfully!
