Low Magic Age: OGL Of The East - now available on Early Access

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I believe it's 6 :

• Warrior
• Barbarian
• Thief
• Ranger
• Mage
• Cleric

There was also Summoner when I played it.

If the devs can get modding opened up for creating user-made modules, this game will get even better. It's pretty fun as is, but getting some quality hand-created maps / encounters and either classic D&D module adaptations or new original content added would be very welcome.

Saw this game on GOG and sounds interesting. But how this game is on GOG and Knights of the Chalice don’t?

KOTC could have been on GOG years ago: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...gue-creator-of-knights-of-the-chalice.122956/

Thanks! Not GOG’s fault this time, I believe. But steam now accepted his other game? Because the game is on steam now, right?

Steam accepts everything, that's been the case for a couple of years now. You just need to pay them $100.

I think he has seen the light. KOTC page is up on Steam and KOTC2 will get a Kickstarter campaign.

 

[anvi]

Wow that's pretty amazing. Glad to see it coming to Steam finally, but making the bulk of the game and THEN doing a Kickstarter is what I think most people should do (if possible). It is far more likely to succeed and get a decent budget if people can actually see a product that is desirable. I'll buy KOTC2 on day 1 and I don't do that with any other game these days.

This game will definitely take off once it's opened up to user made modules. The base game is playable and fun, and can definitely act as a fun sandbox setting, especially with the underlying implemented ruleset. Sorta NWN-esque.

I just started this game. Seems good but it is slow as balls. I am doing battle after battle with my same low level party and spells, and every battle is 1 shotting a few noob enemies. It seems grindy in other words. It seems you can play some sandbox mode and increase the speed of the xp and stuff, but I will continue with the Adventure Mode and see how it goes. If I don't see some progress in terms of new spell soon, I will rage quit and try the Arena. But I'll give it a chance. The world map seems not very interesting but it is ok, and it is setting up regular fights. I just want the fights to become tougher and more high level but hopefully that will happen soon.

So far it seems much more "sandbox" ish, not like KOTC which was a finely tuned adventure with tough battles that you have to figure out how to beat. I would prefer that, but this might be more fun if you can be high level and travel around fighting tough stuff and capturing villages.

 

[Cryomancer]

I read that only melee works, archers cannot hit anything and spellcasting is based on cooldowns. And game lacks rogue skills so rogues are weak.

Why they adapted OGL rules and added cooldown BS???

 

[anvi]

So far magic has been pretty useful. The direct damage spell is a bit weak but I'm only level 3 or something, but I also have the sleep spell which is really good.

 

[fantadomat]

Fuck,researching is a nightmare. You could do only one research at time and you get 50/50 chance of getting dragged in to retarded fight. Those rest interruptions shouldn't have been made possible in the city,it is pointless waste of time and forces save scumming. I would ratter waste 30 seconds in save scumming that 10 minutes in a pointless battle that haves only negatives.

 

[anvi]

This game is great so far, lots of fun. Combat like KOTC but in a sandbox world like TOME or whatever. Summoner is great, at least at low level, the pet is really strong and can tank all day and the enemies focus it too. It also does decent damage. I have a guardian, healer, rogue, elementalist, summoner, and controller. All are useful and seem balanced. Music and presentation is a lot better than I expected.

 

[anvi]

I'm bored already. Got to level 5, it just seems like a procedurally generated game. There is nothing interesting about it, you click around a big map full of icons, each place has a little area with a bunch of enemies, you use some spells, hack stuff, it dies or you reload. Boring as fuck. Endless battles that are all the same. I was kinda curious if the higher levels would have more interesting combat but so far it is so boring that I don't even care.

Also SpeedHack doesn't work so the slow ass boring tedious battles have to play out bit by bit no matter what.

 

[Kruno]

It is on sale currently on GoG. Has this game improved any? I am really liking the screenshots, but the game needs to have depth otherwise like anvi, I will get bored!

Right. I enjoyed my time with it yonks ago, but absent a meaningful career/campaign mode... no thanks.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Feels to me it's worse, combat is really slow, either i didn't notice it before or they did something wrong, auto-scroll during enemy turn is quite slow, for example, it's just a couple of seconds but it gets old real quick.

Price is increasing to $15 dollars after the latest sale ends on March 12.

Hello Adventurers,

First of all, thank you very much for your long-term support and help! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions that help us improve Low Magic Age!

As we said in the Early Access statement, we started the EA stage of LMA at a low price to thank players who have been supporting and caring about us since the prototype stage. As the game develops, the price will be progressively increased until the full release.

After the current discount event, we plan to increase the game price from 10 US dollars to 15 US dollars.

So consider this your last chance to buy it for $5!

Thanks again for your continuous support!

Still one to three year estimate to a full release apparently.

 

[anvi]

The only way to improve this game would be to abandon it and everyone forget it exists.

 

[Sacibengala]

How good is that right now? In comparison with games like Knights of the Chalice specifically. It is cheap right now, but I don't want another 2d bland game that I'll never play because it reminds me of something good of the past.

there is no campaign or anything, you make a group of characters and wander around. I am hoping eventually the workshop (which it does have) will allow people to make full campaigns and modules, because the designer does seem to be adding a lot of content so that people might be able to actually do this.

But for the moment he has not organized this content into an actual game or story or campaign himself. I guess its like a wandering around with a DM rolling on a random monster generator and loot creator all the time. Although I have not played in awhile (7-8 months) so maybe it has more than I am aware of.

It's fun if you treat it as a full-party D&D-based roguelike; because you'll essentially be rolling up a full party of adventurers, clearing out dungeons, collecting loot, gaining XP and leveling characters, doing minor quests and fighting monsters in turn-based combat. The game can be fun without a full campaign...just like playing a roguelike, the fun you get from it is going to be equal to what you expect out of it.

It's a very good framework, and the devs keep adding to the system to flesh it out further. However, I'd agree that there is minimal campaign to be played at this time, and that can limit how long you'll want to play, depending on your tolerance for procedurally-created content. Once it's possible for module mods, the game will be great. For me, it was well worth the price I paid at GOG launch ($5 USD).
