Description

In Spellcaster University, you take on the role of the director of a magic university in a colourful world of heroic fantasy. Build your school, manage your budget, recruit teachers. Will you turn it into a black magic academy, with the best professors of necromancy and demonology? Or a place in harmony with nature to train druids and shamans? Or why not train adventurous mages, offering them options to learn how to fight and be stealthy? But this will require surviving the ruthless attacks of the orc tribes and the controls of the education authorities.

  • Build your university using an original magic decks mechanism. Each game will be unique.
  • Access different decks according to the magic taught in your schools. Make choices and take advantage of opportunities to create a unique university.
  • Explore the Arcane Deck to access artifacts with strange powers and rooms that defy reality.
  • Dive into the Deck of Light to take care of your students and teachers.
  • Use the Nature Deck to gain access to a wide range of magical beasts.
  • Choose the Alchemy Deck to boost the production of mana and potions.
  • Yield to the Shadow Deck to teach real discipline to all those nasty students.


  • Manage the well-being of your students by building refectories, dormitories, rest rooms... and ensure their discipline with a dungeon.
  • Select your students: traits, personality, alignment, wealth... each aspect is important.
  • Push your students towards a glorious future. At the end of their studies, discover their future (necromancer, archimage, peasant...) according to the success of their studies, and win new bonuses.


  • Upgrade your rooms with powerful artifacts like the World Tree Wood Table Set or the Soul Eater Bed.
  • Fill your school with legendary creatures: dragons, fauns, pegasus, janitors...
  • Choose the rules of your school: exemplary punishments, recruitment conditions, organic meals, paying dormitories...


  • Choose, through multiple-choice events, how to interact with the different factions of the world.
  • Negotiate with the Adventurers Guild. Ask the king for help. Discuss shamanism with the orcs.
  • Threaten the Dark Lord. Pretend to listen to the grievances of the staff representative. Lie to the witch hunters.
  • Every choice can have short or long term consequences. Be careful before saying “No” to the student delegate!


  • Flee from the armies of darkness by building your university in isolated environments: lake, mountain, desert, volcano, giant turtle back, etc.
  • Collect powerful grimoires to strengthen your university and face increasingly hostile environments.
  • Find new allies to help you in your fight.
  • Take advantage of your trained students' bonuses accumulated throughout the campaign.

Casting Spells like an Alphabet

This game is a lot of fun! It is a very simple premise but has a decent amount of varaition to the events and cards that are pulled for your university. The first go round might be tough, but honestly, I suggest starting one and then burning it just to get a feel for the gameplay and the mechanics. Overall a unique concept and game!

Solid Hogwarts Sim

This game is one of those 'pet favorites' that I keep coming back to. It combines cardbuilder, roguelite, and Simtower in an extremely satisfying way. It keeps you active in its goals, and the pace is near-cathartic. I don't think I've ever wanted a follow-up or DLC for a game as bad as this one. Please. more!

Very fun, gameplay could be more diverse

This game is very fun, and I've sunk a bunch of hours in it already, but after a few playthroughs I found out I was always doing things the same way : build all the essentials, then make my school as well-rounded as possible. Some challenge modes that force you to do things a certain way and not another could help with making the gameplay a bit more diverse. With that said, I'm still having a lot of fun despite the lack of variety in gameplay styles, and would recommend the game to people who enjoy stress-free simulation games.

Great management game

Great management game with a good mechanism to drive you to do things quickly instead of having all the time in the world.

It's a fun game, but...

As the title say, it is a fun game, but kind of feel like it was more like designed for Android. It's a ressource management game with random events. + The mechanics itself are fun, and there are many things to pay attention to. + I love how you can design your house, eventhoug the options are kinda limited + Graphics are cute + Can be challenging to complete all level - Repetitive gameplay - Just kinda annoying to wait in the game for something to happen, makes it kinda passive - Cant't change the emplacement for the rooms
