After 28 years the iconic cult-classic Master of Magic – strategy turn-based fantasy with elements of RPG – returns in a form of modern remake, now available on GOG!

Original Master of Magic was released in 1994, and captured the hearts of players all over the world as it was one of the most popular 4X strategy games of the 90s. The game allows you to play as an extremely powerful wizard, leading your troops and overcoming your magical opponents. During our Winter Sale you can grab this timeless classic on a -40% discount!

Now, its highly anticipated remake will provide all the things that we’ve loved initially about that title but in a modern gaming fashion.



In 2022’s Master of Magic you take up the role of one of 14 unique and diverse great wizards who compete with each other to dominate the worlds of Arcanus and Myrror. Choose from different schools of magic and fantasy races to command, then lead your minions and expand your influence and power across the land.

Recruit and command mighty armies of elves, dragons, dwarves, orcs and many more. Support them with powerful spells. Fight tactical turn-based battles and affect the outcome with your magic.



This awesome title will allow you to research new spells, engage in alchemy, perform rituals and use your arcane powers to change the world around you. But you should always beware of the machinations of your rival wizards, who seek to reach your same goals. And in the end, remember: there can be only one Master of Magic.

Expect 14 unique playable powerful wizards, 5 schools of magic and 18 traits to customize your wizard, over 60 special abilities and 200 spells to research, 14 fantasy races to command (including elves, dwarves, trolls, draconians, orcs, klackons, gnolls and more), 196 unique unit types, over 250 unique magical items (as well as custom crafting), and two parallel dimensional planes, Arcanus and Myrror!

Also, if you’d like to see some awesome Master of Magic gameplay, join us during another Winter Sale stream on our Twitch Channel, this Friday, December 16th, at 11 PM UTC, where Kilg0re_Tr0ut will cast some spells and discover this magical world.

GOG.com: Release: Master of Magic – remake of a 90s’ classic from Slitherine Ltd.
Looks good.
I'm definitely interested, but it's a bit pricey.
Well, for the time being, I still have the original.
Sold!
Can I still cast levitate on warships to create a fleet of overpowered airships?

Classic Slitherine, completely overpriced

Slitherine loves high prices.
40 bucks is way too much for this.

And also the devs said they are going to add S**** Achievements but there is no notice AFAIK as to whether or not they will also add Galaxy Achievements to give the game feature parity, which if they don't, that would make the price even more ludicrous.

Either way, I definitely would never buy this until I'm sure about whether or not it will have feature parity.

Instant buy in December 2023 :)
I'm sorry - maybe I'm just too blind to see it, but I can't find anything on the store page that mentions what changes this "remake" brings to the original, other than the obvious graphical/art changes.

What would I gain/lose from playing this compared to the original Master of Magic?
Are there any balance changes or other content?

The new art in the screenshots does look pretty nice, but gameplay is always king.
Looks pretty cool, I'll wait and see how much overpriced DLC Slitherine levels on top of it first.
