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.

Looks cool, but as always, the system requirements is completely retarded, GTX 630 to play this game ? this game should be running in 4k 60fps on an intel integrated graphic card.

It's not that bad. Game is quite relaxing, worth a try.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

It's a game for 2 hours max.

You build your own Hogwarts, but then the timer runs out and the "evil lord" destroys it. You can't fight it and you start anew.

Why are you building it in the first place then? And where's the challenge?

At least in "Into the Breach", you fight and you lose, but you get closer to winning every time. In Spellcaster University you don't fight, there's no lose or win scenario, it's just "ok, timer ran up, start again". Why? Pointless.

It might, but I suspect that system requirements of indie games are often in the form of "shittiest computer the developers had to actually test it on".

In most cases, the system requirements of the game could just be summarized with posting

My question is: Do you actually have to fight the darkness, or can you run the Sauron Institute For The Criminally Vicious?

You can do anything, and it doesn't have any consequences. The game threatens that the farmers will dislike you if you start doing dark magic, but maxing out your reputation with them only takes a few clicks. There are no fail states.

Game is shit IMO. Basically a puzzle game where you are supposed to know how to build your school in advance and know which artifacts to use in rooms and so on. And that's because you cannot undo anything once you build it. No way to replace or delete buildings or room artifacts.
