The Bloody Magic is a beautiful, isometric 3rd person CRPG with Diablo-esque graphics where the focus is – well – on magical combat. Player characters are always mages, but there are 12 classes of magic to choose from – earth magic, fire magic, poison magic... among others. Your initial choice for a spellcaster class will define your character’s basic looks; whenever your character upgrades his skills or acquires a new class of spells, the appearance will change accordingly. Depending on whether you stay true to your initial class or branch out into other fields of magic, the visible result can be anything from terrifying to downright weird, or both. A pure combat mage will end up looking very martial, while a nature mage who also trained in death magic will wear a bone cuirass in addition to his antlers – looks nice.​
