Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic Is a continuation of the famous series of strategy and role-playing games, with the ability to create your own custom environment with a map generator.
Triumph Studios' significant experience in making turn-based strategy games is evident in Shadow Magic, as the game offers polished, well-balanced gameplay and an interesting storyline. The saga of the wizards Merlin, Julia and Meander continues in the new game, and it helps introduce three new playable factions and new playable units in the original 12 races.
In Shadow Magic, you'll start off with one of the fantastic races (although you may end up recruiting followers from other races, depending on the situation), start at your home base, and then explore colorful land and underground locations. On the way, you will meet armies of monsters led by powerful heroes, unless you conquer the entire map.
The new game features a whole new set of magic spells and units that help speed up the siege process, including new siege weapons and new spells that can help attacking armies.
Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic does a great job with the shortcomings of its predecessor and offers deeper and more balanced gameplay. Although complex enough, the accessible learning process should help most new players understand how to play the game, and its considerable depth should be more than enough incentive for seasoned strategy aficionados..
