Video Game Reviews of Rage of Mages 2

Customer Review: challenging
Summary: 5 Stars

I do not agree with reviewers complaining about mage/archer dying too soon or impossibly complex scenarios. This game just requires a little bit of micromanagement. Make a soldier with a good sight range to recon first. Put your mages/archers on a high ground or behind trees/rocks and lure your enemy into a trap. The game gives you a lot of chances to prove that you are capable of more then just 'fire and forget'. I spent a good time exploring this world and I'm looking forward for the seque ...

Description of Rage of Mages 2

Recruit stalwart allies, gather powerful weapons, and wield awesome magic as you complete important quests and train your character.
The latest in an increasing population of hybrid-genre games, Monolith's Rage of Mages 2: Necromancer combines elements of real-time strategy, a la Command and Conquer, and role-playing, a la Baldur's Gate, to create an experience that aspires to be the best of both worlds (but reigns supreme over neither). Still, Rage of Mages 2, a sequel very similar both visually and gameplay-wise to its predecessor, features enough depth to satisfy those searching for a tad more action in their role-playing adventure.

Players assemble a steadfast group of warriors and wizards and venture on over 40 different quests. Like many role-playing games, Rage of Mages 2 offers in-depth control over your party members--you can equip them with hundreds of different weapons, items, and spells. Rage of Mages 2 most resembles a strategy game during the frequent party movement and combat situations; real-time strategy veterans will recognize the mouse-driven, quick-click battle scenarios.

Rage of Mages 2 also includes many of the interface shortcuts, such as hot-key grouping and formations, implemented in nearly all real-time strategy games. During the quests, you'll encounter nearly 80 different enemy creatures, including druids, necromancers, shamans, and the obligatory skeletons and zombies. The variety of quests keep the action interesting, and extensive multiplayer options provide hours of group-player enjoyment. --Doug Radcliffe
