Here's a bit from the preview: Art of Magic plays rather like a bizarre combination of Sacrifice, Nox and Black & White, if such a thing can be imagined. Auran can be directed by right-clicking on the screen in good old-fashioned Diablo style; the semi-free camera is controlled entirely with the mouse, like B&W, and the game mechanic is very reminiscent of Shiny's excellent but oft-overlooked Sacrifice. Graphically, at least in the early levels, the white-fronted buildings and verdant pastures reminded us of a rather less polished version of Molyneux's game. Rather than being a traditional seamless battle-dialogue-explore type RPG like Baldur's Gate, Art of Magic is firmly mission-based. Each area has a specific set of objectives which must be met before Auran is able to travel to the next level, often earning more hit points or mana along the way - kill this, find that, rescue Aunt Mabel and so forth. Sometimes other adventurers will join Auran for certain missions, and there are bonus objectives for the keen.
