Dawn of Magic IGN UK Review

10:59 pm by admin. Filed under: Game Reviews

Dawn of Magic is here and lets see if it can hang with the Oblivions and the Neverwinters of the RPG scene. While the plot of "do i aid the bad guy or go against him" isnt that original, Dawn of Magic does seem to be progressive in including some modern RPG fixtures to its repertoire.

One of Dawn of Magic's most intriguing aspects is watching your character morph from an unspectacular base model into a finely tuned killing machine, while the fun factor is further bolstered by some excellent (if hardly original) item crafting that sees you imbuing your standard items with a magical kick to improve their potency and value.

On first impressions, the world around you seems vibrant and full of life. Locales teem with NPCs, traders and a wealth of impressively varied and increasingly tough enemies to battle. As you wander around you can exchange pleasantries with peasants and passers-by or trade with salesmen who ply their wares at local towns, while a dynamic day/night cycle adds some visual variety to the fauna and flora-packed locations.
