by Rainier on June 25, 2004 @ 2:15 a.m. PDT

In ‘Blood Magic’ the weapon of choice is magic. Graphically stunning, the game is set in a richly detailed medieval-style world, allowing the player a wide variety of choices both in individual quests and character development. There are a dozen different fields of magic, over 100 weapons in the game and nearly limitless spell possibilities.

In the realm of the Absolute, the immortal Modo has been stripped of his powers and sent to live on the Earth as a mortal in punishment for his crimes in the afterlife. Now the furious Modo is on a quest to not only regain his lost powers, but to gain enough strength to destroy the Earth once and for all.

As the story’s hero, the player must decide whether to thwart Modo’s plans for destruction and ultimately defeat this evil being, or instead aid him in his diabolical quest.

Blood Magic is a single/multiplayer isometric person RPG for PC where the weapon of choice is magic. The game is set in a richly detailed medieval-style world, allowing the player a wide variety of choices both in individual quests and character development.

In Blood Magic you can choose to play as one of four main characters: the awkward scholar, the baker’s wife, the weird gypsy or the fat friar. There are a dozen different fields of magic and over 100 weapons in the game, allowing the players many choices for specialization.
