Academagia: The Making of Mages reviews

I have a little hesitation on the note: to recommend or not? Dilemma... The "minus" are pretty obvious as soon as we have the game in the hands:-the ergonomics is really not terrible. There are few screens, really little, but sometimes you have to rip your eyes out to read the information-the "stores" in particular are almost unusable. -This is a "read the text" game. No animations, no graphics: some screens with information and text of your adventures. If you are allergic to "novels of which you are the hero", go your way to the rank of criticables, I will add that the game is incomplete, in the sense that the Mage you are going to play is supposed to follow several years of study and that only the first year is currently implemented. Say it like that, it doesn't feel like it, I'll give it to you. But... But if you let yourself be conquered by the ambiance of this little fantasy novel (HA Yes, you have to read English, eh), if you take some pleasure to imagine yourself with a pointed hat on the skull, a glowing wand in the hands and seized with a terrible embarrassment because after a crappy spell you started to feel the old Camembert in the middle of a classroom, all these details menus should hardly spoil you the evening. But if you think that a year of study is done quickly, you will find out that no. No no no no no no. Between your schedule to manage, the courses, the TPS, the jokes to the buddies, the bad jokes of the competitors of the other schools, the trips in Tavern, the studies at the Observatory and countless small or not so small adventures to live, to try and try again (sometimes, because it is rare to be able to do everything in the first year)-all told in a very readable English even for a Frenchman, and with a good dose of humor, between all these things I disai, you have something to occupy you quite a lot of UH Res. For my part, I now offer almost every evening a little trip to the Academagia to advance for a week my studies, to avoid a few conspiracies, to miss a spell or two. It's relaxed, it's not taken seriously and it's a pretty amazing narrative richness. It has at the same time a small side sandbox, much less policy than a classic RP-full of little stories instead of a big scenario to unfold conscientiously. So yes, finally, despite the negative points mentioned above, I think that this amazing little game has given me a lot for my money-and I have not finished with my first year. And I recommend it-to amateurs of the genre only, of course. Voted! On this I go back to burn a toad in the slug drool, I have a chipped Princess to save and a geometry teacher who gave me homework for the evening. May the great Jack you Croque, A. apprentice mage, arithmetic, advanced arithmancian but failed astrologer (you can not have everything)
