Dawn of Magic - Review @GamesRadar

Games Radar  has posted a short and somewhat prefunctory review of 1C's and SkyFallen's Dawn of Magic, calling it "Yawn of Magic"  and rating it at 5/10:

Dawn of Magic is perhaps one of the least offensive games ever made, but it's also one of the most toothless...

...As its title suggests, Dawn focuses heavily on magic for combat, with a series of strange classes - the Baker's Wife, the Fat Friar, etc. - able to specialize in twelve schools of magic. Spells can be mixed and matched in a somewhat interesting system, but new spells and character upgrades in general come much too slowly. You'll find yourself bored with using the same old fireball spell for the thousandth time long before you receive a more powerful incantation.

...Dawn of Magic attempts some originality in its story. The actual plot - an ancient evil is resurrected - is as rote as they come, but you are given the choice in fighting said baddie or joining with him. Sadly this isn't implemented in any interesting way. You simply choose "Good" or "Evil" when setting up your character at the beginning, and you're on your way to world domination or salvation.
