Grab Mages of Mystralia, a fantasy RPG from the creator of DnD's world, for freeFeb 27, 2025 - PCGamesNThere's no setting quite as iconic as Dungeons and Dragons' Forgotten Realms. A sprawling high-fantasy world shimmering with magic and mystery, it's become the backdrop for millions of virtual and tabletop adventures. While Mages of Mystralia isn't a DnD game in name or setting, its overarching narrative is the brainchild of Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms, and it wears its lineage on its sleeve. So if you, like me, are looking for yet another fantasy RPG in the wake of Baldur's Gate 3 and Avowed, look no further: Mages of Mystralia is free right now. Read the rest of the story...

Your enthusiasm for our last title has been contagious. It inspired us to push further, to come back with something new. And today, that’s exactly what we’re doing—bringing you a brand-new chapter in the world of Mystralia. The End of One Story. The Beginning of Another. With Mages of Mystralia, our goal was to bring a little magic into the world. We wanted players to experience the thrill of spellcrafting firsthand. And your presence here proves this idea resonated. But launching our first game didn’t just satisfy our curiosity—it fueled it. We felt there was more to uncover in this magic system. New possibilities waiting to be explored. All we had to do was push a little further. The Drive to Go Further Mages of Mystralia offered a linear experience: story, combat, puzzles—the adventure was more or less the same for everyone. But magic, at its core, is about creation. Experimentation. In short, anything but linear. To take our system further, we had to embrace unpredictability and discovery. That’s the foundation of our new approach. A drive to give you more. More freedom. More flexibility. More magic. New System. New Genre. But what does more really mean? More spells, obviously. But above all, more combinations. Every change to the spell had to reshape it. You know how it goes: one drop too many of frog’s saliva, and boom—everything blows up. That’s what we wanted. To see a small tweak create a big change. To get players excited about the possibilities. To spark their creativity. And for that to work, we needed a genre that would truly showcase our new system. We needed to build a rogue-lite, to let players craft new spells each run. Another Meeting with You So here’s the story. Mages was our bridge to you—a way to connect our passion with yours. And now, we’re about to cross that bridge once again. Soon, we’ll introduce you to a brand-new game. A new story. New factions. New lands to explore. But all within the same universe, with the same excitement, driven by the same wish we had from the very beginning: to bring a little magic into this world. 🚨 Our first Steam Playtest for Echoes of Mystralia is live NOW!

Unfortunately, magic has been banned, so she strikes off to train on her own to gain some control over her powers. On her journey, she meets other exiled mages and, discovers runes with magical properties and realizes that she can combine these runes in millions of different ways to come up with completely new spells."

Greetings Mystralians, We are excited to officially announce that the Archmage Mode patch is now deployed on Steam. Since the game launched last May, we've been working hard on this big patch for Mages of Mystralia. With the Archmage Mode patch, Mages of Mystralia now offers a much more challenging gameplay experience, if you so choose, that will put your skills to the test, adds keybind remapping for keyboard and mouse and adds more bug fixes than you can count. So what is the Archmage Mode exactly? It is an optional harder difficulty mode which contains harder battles, smarter new enemies and more complex puzzles. First, we’ve added 4 new enemy types - one for each element - that are only found in the Archmage Mode. These enemies not only deal more damage than typical enemies, they approach the player differently, they can add elemental effects to their attacks and they anticipate your actions better. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27032682/dec38358dc62487a008e7ba665e1c3f6c950680f.jpg Also, most of the optional puzzles sprinkled throughout the game which test your spell crafting skills and require you to design interesting spells to achieve a specific goal have been ramped up in terms of complexity and will require players to use more advanced spell crafting techniques in the Archmage Mode. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27032682/94debe5975da80602a2c2e77fadc525a128eafaf.jpg In addition to these new challenges, we have added some new side quests and locations for you to discover on your adventure. We hope you will enjoy this new update and that it will give you a chance to dive into the world of Mystralia and achieve spell crafting mastery! Patch Notes Archmage mode (harder difficulty) - Performed a major balancing pass on enemies and bosses (Stats buff, changed bosses patterns, etc.). - Added an Elite Imp for each elemental type (Elite imps deal elemental damage based on their type: earth, fire, air and ice). - Improved enemy behaviors (eg. Treant’s roots now have a ranged attack (both modes), Wild Boar Imp throws three barrels instead of one (Archmage only), Ghost clones now throw projectiles (both modes), etc.). - Added different secret room puzzles that require more thinking. - Adjusted enemy spawns (More and/or different enemies spawn in every fight in the game). Added/Enhanced sidequests - Reworked the farmers, the fisherman and flowers side quests. - Added new puzzle room for the chest puzzle in Mystralia (Gaia's wand). The player may now enter a small dungeon and has to avoid being caught by the guards to get the wand. - Improved side quests (GhostBuster, Wares, etc.) to make it easier for players to understand what they need to do and where to turn ...Archmage Mode Update v1.4Aug 22, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27032682/4b4e1c1b522f61d018b08d0b36be89254576b138.jpg PS: Detailed patch notes available below, please restart your client to get the update!
