Lichdom: Battlemage - Review Roundup

by Couchpotato, 2014-08-28 06:12:29

Here is a new batch of reviews for the recently released ARG? Lichdom: Battlemage.

PC Gamer - 76/100

A beautiful and difficult action-RPG that rewards risk-taking—the complex magic system makes up for the bits that just aren’t worth playing over and over.

Gamingtrend - 80/100

Lichdom: Battlemage is a clever and exciting arcade style action-RPG, which can be a lot more fun than one might expect. The battles are challenging, the magic system is as diverse as advertised, and the play mechanics do a pretty good job pulling it all together. A few rough edges here and there, in combination with the game’s high requirements can lead to some embarrassing hiccups and broken moments, but it’s nothing that gets in the way of the overall experience.

Gameinformer - 8/10

Lichdom: Battlemage is an interesting and enjoyable take on first-person fantasy with lots of customization to dive into. I’m hoping this initial effort leads to an even more polished sequel for Xaviant down the line.

MMORPG.com - 7/10

Lichdom: Battlemage is a fun, if shortsighted RPG with some fantastic upsides. Is it worth the asking price of $40? I’d say no at this point, and hold out for a Steam sale. It’s definitely something fans of the old Hexen will enjoy, but fans of open ended RPGs will find Xaviant’s game lacking. A solid effort, but not quite what I’d hoped for after seeing the game at PAX East this year.
