We recently had an opportunity to try out a build of Buka’s upcoming sequel to Battle Mages, originally released in 2004. Battle Mages: Signs of Darkness maintains a very similar feel to the game as of that of its predecessor and stays with the traditional game play style. For those who never played the original game, Battles Mages provides the player with a unique viewpoint that seperates itself from most classical strategy and RPG games. The game itself is played in the third person perspective of your character, a mage. Your character never directly engages in combat, but instead projects an image of himself in order to move around the map and attack with magical spells.
