Archmage Rises seeking votes on Steam Greenlight
Developed by Ontario’s Defiance Game Studio, Archmage Rises is being built as an RPG inside a world simulation and will give players near-absolute freedom to become whatever they want to be in a fully-simulated fantasy world.
In Archmage Rises you discover that you have an innate ability to use powerful magic. Born to humble farmers who sacrificed so that you could study at the renowned Magic Conclave, you end up unfairly expelled and then cast out onto the streets. Alone and with nowhere to go, will you use what you’ve learned to help save this harsh world or burn it down?
In Archmage Rises, players are faced with countless decisions that greatly impact every playthrough in a number of different ways, from life and death to commodity prices and even in-game relationships. If death does come, however, it will be permanent: Archmage Rises’ permadeath system encourages experimentation to allow for endless replayability and short, streamlined play sessions free of travel time and repetitive random encounters.
Growing into a powerful Archmage, the player can explore dungeons, discover artifacts of ancient power, and visit arcane libraries to gain skill in five distinct schools of magic. It’s also possible to customize spells through research, craft and enchant equipment and specialize in fighting, politics, research, and more.
No one will have to go it alone, though: Players can swear fealty to nobles, gain land and estates, invest in town shops, move to a new home – and even start a family. They can also hire apprentices and minions useful for handling trading or research tasks.
