About

In the game, you can follow two storylines, depending on whether you choose a male or female character.

Both versions of the character have their own reasons to hate the leader of evil forces, Shax. If a female character is selected, his sister is abducted by Shax as a result of a dispute over the jewelry that the player was selling. In the case of a man's game, the player refuses to sell the sword to Shax, resulting in Shax killing the character's wife.

Everything else in the game is the same for both female and male characters.

The character awakens to a new life by the great magician Roth. The great magician reveals to the character that the character was chosen to become the new Dragon - there have already been more than a dozen other Dragons before. The Dragon is given combat magic, the Dragon's task is to protect this world and rid it of lies, corruption and evil spirits.

Gameplay

The main character, male or female, accepts from the great magician Roth the name Dragon and the mission of improving the world. To achieve this, he follows a linear route, between checkpoints and fast travel locations known as Reliquaries. The hero is armed with magic - and it does not require replenishment of any resource, it always is, always works.

The enemies of the Dragon are diverse and contain a randomized loot, dropping out of them when defeated. The value of loot based on the rarity level of the character has been achieved through reaching checkpoints.

The magic of the hero, the power of his spells can be greatly increased if the hero performs specific tasks.
The main character helps another character, male or female. This character acts as a scout whose name is Gryphon.

After the end of the game, the player can continue to play the same character in order to strengthen the power of his spells - for this you should start a New Game Plus.

Magic

The Hero can have 3 Sigils applied at any given time. Sigils - Fire, Ice, Lightning, Corruption, and more - act as elemental schools of magic for the player to cast.

Sigils are unlocked as the player moves in the game.

You can switch between the Sigils you use at a Reliquary.

The level of each Sigil can be increased by achieving certain goals. The characteristics of magical spells can be improved and customized, by conscious manipulation and using the loot dropping out of enemies.

Spells act not only as weapons of attack, but also as shields.

Lichdom: Battlemage reviews and comments

I honestly thought this game was gonna kick ass.  It's just not exciting or interesting or particularly fun.

Take a Programmer from Skyrim and one from Serious Sam for the Optics, plus a Programmer from Borderlands for the "Badasis." Another Pinch of Crafting Equipment, and you can imagine how Lichtom is about. ^^ I really find Lichdom a spongy, entertaining and challenging Game. Have already read a lot Beforehand that it is very difficult. Clearly it has some Places that are really salted and you have to be quite tactical. But all in all, it's good to master. And sometimes too hard will just look at his Spells AND HIS Shield. Many Things can you create a better Version again? And already I'll be better again. Only the Fact that the Game is exclusively English made the Crafting a bit tricky for me at first. Meanwhile, however, tip is going top. I am now in the 5th Level, fight exclusively with Eis/Control (To fill the Pack and keep it in Check), Corruption/Mastery (to make the Enemies much more susceptible to Damage) and Feuer/Destruction (for the Damage itself), and get on very well. The Loot also goes with "Rarity Level 1" tip top. From lvl 3 I had only equipped at least yellow Spells (both Shapes and Augments). Greez Titu666

Soo after I got it through I unfortunately don't know as exactly as I am about this Game. That is Why the whole thing has been addressed in more detail in several Sub-points. 1. The Story: The classic Role-playing Plot. The Villain kills a loved One, the Protagonist gets magic Bracelets and butchers his way through the Villain's Army to hold him accountable in the End. Unfortunately, this Story in this Game is completely so unimportant for the Course Of the Game that it could have been omitted. 2. The Battle and Crafty System: Well with the more than 1000 Spells mentioned, they are rather variants of a handful of Sayings. And really can't change these Sayings either. You can change the Execution form of the Sayings, such as whether you shoot a Fireball, set a Fire Beam or a Fire trap, but that's what you are. An Exception to this is the Synergies test, where you can combine two Sayings. But here, too, the Form of Execution is already prescribed. With Regard to the Craftiger System, it has to be said that there is a lot you can do to improve your Sayings, however, within the Above framework. The Crafting was not, in my Opinion, very clearly designed and I was happy that there was an automatic Crafting manager who takes over the Crafting for the Player. 3. Fun: Here's my Opinion that the Game is really Fun provided you deal with the Crafting System a bit, because the Difficulty of the Opponents increases quite quickly. Nichtsdestodotrotz I had a Lot of Fun with the Game. In Summary, it can be said that the Game is really Fun but also has its Problems. I think it's a solid Game that neither the mega Burner nor a Disaster. That's Why my Opinion is this Game you can treat YOURSELF TO BUT ONLY in the Sale as I find almost €40 a little too much.
