“Despite completely sucking at it, I cannot dispute that Slidemagi is a robust, kickass tactical RPG with an inventive control scheme and design around it, as well as a cute claymation aesthetic.”

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose the path of Early Access for Slidemagi with the conviction that active participation from our community is indispensable. This process allows us to adapt and evolve the game based on your experiences and feedback, ensuring that the final result is exceptional and rewarding for everyone.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our estimated timeline for moving from Early Access to a full release in about 6 months, depending on the reception of the game mechanics and the adjustments required based on your input. We're committed to listening to our users and integrating your feedback promptly, with the goal of delivering the complete game experience as swiftly as possible.”

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

“We plan to significantly expand the game's universe, with more levels, units and spells for unlocking.
Our plans for the full version is to have a more polished, upgraded and optimized experience. We are listening to the community's feedback and suggestions to improve the game and the levels.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the initial Early Access phase, Slidemagi delivers a full gaming experience with 3 areas and 15 levels for exploration. Players can dive into adventure mode, unlocking new units and spells, or engage in challenges against friends or the CPU. A tutorial section is also available to master strategy, units, and spells. We're planning to roll out an update soon to introduce online play, which is nearly ready for launch. While we strive for a bug-free experience, should any issues arise, your feedback will be crucial.”

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

“Absolutely, as we enrich Slidemagi with more content and gameplay features, we plan to raise the price accordingly.”

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

“We invite you to become an integral part of Slidemagi's development by joining our Discord community or leaving your comments in the discussions area. Your feedback and ideas are eagerly awaited, and we believe they will make a significant difference! :)”

About This Game





Slidemagi is a turn-based strategy game in which units move by sliding the lines of the board. You are a Mage who, using your deck of cards, can summon spells or create units with unique abilities to fight under your control.

The game has two main modes of play: adventure mode where you progress to unlock new spells and units, and player vs. player magical combat where each Mage uses their deck to defeat the opponent.

Features:


  • Sliding: Units move by sliding the lines. When the move is made, all your units will execute their action. The position of units is important.


  • Squeezing: By sliding, other units can become squeezed into their line, allowing dangerous terrain to be placed beneath them.


  • Mages and Spells: You are the Mage! You must defeat the enemy in a magical combat. Use your deck of cards to cast powerful spells and summon new units.


  • Graves and Raise Dead: When a unit dies, a grave appears, which the Necromancer can revive. As all objects lock the line on the edge when sliding, this is a fundamental part of the game, leading to open or closed games.


  • Chain Reactions: Certain moves can cause chain reactions. For example, killing enemies and having a Necromancer to revive them in the same turn.


  • Deck Building: Before going into the battle, choose a set of spells from the available spell cards. Deck composition will depend on your strategy and the characteristics of the terrain you'll be playing on. The deck is shuffled, and you will have five spells available at any given time. Chance also plays a role.


  • Spell Cards and Units: There are dozens of unit types and spells to use and combine to craft your strategy. Each type of unit performs a specific action. For example, Spiders shoot a web that traps the enemy and makes them very vulnerable; Scorpions, poison their enemies, etc. There are melee and ranged units, weak and powerful units, grounded and flying units, etc.


  • Many Modes of Play: Dive into adventure mode to discover and master new spells, or enjoy friendly competition in both local and online multiplayer magical duels.

Slidemagi is a game with an original design, developed by BATOVI Games, a studio from Montevideo, Uruguay.
