What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a small development team (of 2), we want to do it right and deliver community driven content as fast as possible, considering your reviews and input along the way. Our plans for the future and the roadmap will be discussed with the community and implemented in accordance: new game modes, ranked play, new spells, new designs, etc.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6 months after launching in Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“More content. We're aiming for more playable characters, spell classes, game modes and maps. It will also be taken into consideration anything that comes along as feedback from the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We discuss this in depth in the "About this game".”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to mildly raise the price as new content becomes available.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Steam Community, Social Media and Discord - accessible from the game's webpage. We will keep a very tight communication with the community. We want everyone to enjoy the game and the only way to achieve that is to listen to the community. New content and changes will be presented and discussed with our players and implemented to cater to their desires as best as we can.

Dawn of Mages is a 3rd person multiplayer PvP arena with unique, yet familiar features:
● Complex and detailed maps (learn the features and plan along)
● Free targeting system (skills and training beat luck)
● Over 100 different builds (chosen before the game starts)
● Each spell is different (in terms of damage, debuffs or buffs on enemies)

There are 5 types of spells and 5 classes of spells (at launch), making every player you meet (and yourself) a different challenge.

Your build will consist of choosing 1 spell from each class for each type before the game starts.

Each player will have 5 types of spells:
Main: Long range bolt with low damage and mana cost
Close: Short range spell with high damage and mana cost
AoE: Medium Range spell, low to medium damage and mana cost
Deadeye: Unlimited range, with high damage and mana cost (usable only with “magical scope” - no “no scope snipe”)
Ultimate: Unique range to each class, highest damage and mana cost

For each type, there will be 5 available choices (5 classes of spells):
Fire: Lower damage, ignores shield
Ice: Lower damage, debuffs enemies (burns stamina)
Lightning: Highest damage, buffs enemies (refills stamina)
Poison: Average damage, part of the damage is over time and stacks
Void: Lowest Damage, heals your character (lifesteal)

Besides these, there are 2 actions universal to all characters:
Melee attack - punch: High damage, ignores shield, restores mana
Breach: Creates a gateway through most walls and props, with no mana cost, insta-kill and 30 seconds cooldown. Use it wisely, to escape, to ambush, to confuse, or anything you might think of, it’s your choice

Map features:
● Realistic props (if you can see through it, you can shoot through it)
● Scattered Power-Ups: Shards - Health, Mana, Shield, Speed and Damage
● Jumping Platforms - giving you a boost up in the air to kill your enemies from above

Game modes. Dawn of Mages will launch with Free For All mode and soon after, Team Deathmatch mode. As the game evolves, there will be new ones introduced as per the roadmap and the community feedback and wishes - Battle Royale, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, First Blood Wins. Or crazy ones, like Football. Ours and your imagination will be the limit.

Eyes to the future.

There will be account level, ranked play, stats and more. See Roadmap above.

NOTE: Dawn of Mages will NEVER become pay-to-win. The in-game marketplace will feature COSMETIC only items.
