I wouldn't have hoped to reach 10 reviews in 2 days, so I thank all of you for your support! 🙏
Leaving reviews is always very helpful, especially for small indie games like ours. Reaching 10 reviews is a very important milestone to be able to receive an overall rating.

Character build variety is another big part of replayability! ⚔️✨
There are 8 regular, 3 magic, and 1 universal skill schools — each with 6 unique abilities.
Every character can combine 2 schools by default… and with the right setup, even 3!
(1 day until release!)

Replayability was a big design goal for Slaves of Magic, and one key piece was diverse starting locations! 🗺️
There are 6 regions, each with unique starting rosters, skill schools, and a special regional bonus for your campaign! ⚔️

We just made it into the top 10 of Steam’s Popular Upcoming list! 🎉
When we started working on Slaves of Magic 4 years ago, we never dreamed of reaching even this point.
Huge thanks to everyone who wishlisted, shared, or supported us along the way. You made this happen! 🙏

One of my main goals when designing Slaves of Magic was to boost replayability compared to other XCOM-likes. ♻️
The game features 42 different enemy types, and it’s impossible to encounter them all in a single campaign! 👀

One of the unique aspects of Slaves of Magic is how battles begin! ⚔️
Before combat, you can teleport your squad anywhere on the map for a fast, tactical start.
To keep surprises alive, you only get limited scrying charges to scout ahead though! 🔮

One technical aspect I’m really proud of in our custom 2D isometric engine is the dynamic lighting system. 💡
It combines the classic X-COM tile-based lighting with modern per-pixel techniques to respect the wall boundaries in 2D!

Slaves of Magic went through a lot of iterations in these 4+ years, and I thought it might be fun to put them side-by-side!
For example, our very first publicly available demo used a tick system like in roguelikes. Sadly, it was very unwieldy, especially for keeping formation!😅

A few years ago, we briefly tried making TikTok content for Slaves of Magic.
It wasn't exactly a big success… but it did give us this gem! (turn on sounds!)
And yes, shields are still destroyable in-game!
