War of Magic

Elemental is a fantasy strategy game set on a world filled with magic and ancient lore. Rule a fledgling kingdom and expand it across the world through a combination of magical power, military might, diplomatic skill, technological advancement and bold adventuring.

As sovereign, you begin as the only being in your kingdom still able to channel power from the shards of magic, a series of mystical artifacts left over from the cataclysm.

You must decide how much of your power to imbue into your heroes as you build new cities, explore dungeons, perfect spells of ever increasing power and negotiate with friends and foes.

Victory can be yours through conquest, magical supremacy, diplomatic alliances or the completion of the master quest.


You are the sovereign.
Your people need you. So-called "adventurers" have entered the forbidden dungeon of Ithyrl and unleashed the long banished demon Kroxir, killing them in the process. Lord Ventir menaces your southern border with his army of death knights. The Sorceress Procipinee has claimed your northern cities as being part of her domain and the ancient dragon Smarag has agreed to aid you if you recover her eggs that were stolen by a different party of adventurers.

It's all in a day's work in Stardock's new epic strategy game, Elemental: War of Magic.

Customization, Magic, Warfare, Empire Building and more
Design your sovereign in terms of talents, class, even what he (or she) looks like. Learn spells of increasing power to unleash on those who oppose you. Found new cities and build them up by researching new technologies, recruiting specialists or trading knowledge with other Kingdoms. Send your champions on holy quests to recover ancient artifacts, gain allies, or recover the great wealth lost during the Cataclysm.

A strategy game in an RPG world
In Elemental, you design and train your soldiers, archers, knights, magicians and more. With a vast storage of lore developed in collaboration with publishing giant Random House, Elemental ensures that every game is a completely new experience.

Key Features:

  • Take control as the magical Sovereign
  • Recruit heroes
  • Explore dungeons
  • Collect treasure
  • Tactical battles
  • Intergrated editors

2.0 out of 5 stars Still Broken
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012
Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
I bought this game, then I downloaded the updated 1.4 version of the game from the Stardock web site using the game's CD-Key. The game is still full of bugs. It still crashes and has many, many glitches. The game's textures and models can disappear. There's many gameplay mechanics that don't always work. In combat, turns can become disorganized with turns overlapping turns(make sense? Ha, wait till you see it then...).

And so on and so forth. There's many problems with this game that still exist.

It would be a good game, however, it is still full of bugs and glitches. I don't care much about bugs, I can still enjoy games that have bugs, after all, all games will have bugs and glitches, but this game still is broken in many, many ways. I create a leader for one of the dark races. She starts out with a dark blue skin, then after a few turns, her skin turns pale white, but her face remains a dark blue. So now my leader has a dark blue face with pale white skin, looking like a freak. How Lovely.

Like I said, this game has many, many bugs. It can still be fun to play, and is worth it at a really, really cheap price. As a Master of Magic player, it's fun to play with the new ideas presented like controlling your "wizard" on the battlefield, and getting married and having children, even though there's no depth to the marriage part in this game, it's still a fun idea.

Too bad, this game is still bug filled.

4.0 out of 5 stars Elemental "War of Magic"-Give it a chance!
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2010
Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
Without a doubt this game was released before it was ready and it has hurt the game's reputation big time. Given that-as of the current patch (v1.07) it really is a good game with a lot of promise. It does a great job of blending genre's between the classic Civ-style turn-based-strategy and the role playing games. Granted-it sorely needs a tutorial of some type but it's not nearly as steep a learning curve as people are making out. If you've played Civ or some of Stardock's other titles (Galatic Civ especially) there are a lot of common themes. There's still a few bugs to work out (yep-it will crash after a few hours of play-but what doesn't?) and some of the interface needs work (city expansion pop-up needs to let you examine the city before you have to make an irrevocable choice on what bonus to take!).

I have a strong feeling the untold truth is that Stardock tried to rush this game out to get on the shelves before Civ V hits later this month! But I really don't think you can compare the two titles straight up. Elemental has some charm all its own-for example-it's cool how the landscape slowly changes under the influence of your society be it lusher and greener for certain "nations" or drier/harsher for others. Stardock's biggest mistake was not creating a meaningful instruction manual that explained more of the game concepts in-depth. If someone would make a strategy guide for this (Stardock should give rebates coupon's to everyone the bought the game if they ever do!) it would be a great help. All-in-all I'd have to give the current version a decent grade of a "B". Another patch or two and they'll have a great game on their hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Game Is Incredible!!! Just Download The Patch!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2012
Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
I see many games get horrible reviews becuase the people reviewing it are not smart enough to just download the patch. It fixes every game bug or glitch, thats what patches are for. Get the update to this game at the Gamestop app formally Impulse. You will not be disappointed after installing the update. This game has so much depth and replayability and immersion its beyond amazing. I hate to see a game of this sort get so many bad reviews merely becuase the user is not computer saavy. This game made my top 20 fav of all time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buggier than a termite mound
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2010
Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
This game shows a fair bit of promise but fails to execute. For the 'no DRM' guys its pretty intrusive constantly trying to phone home according to my firewall logs not to mention the online registration requirement tied to a specific install. Runs fairly slow on a fast machine which would be more understandable if the graphics were anything special (a step back from  Sid Meiers Civilization IV  IMO), but they are not. UI is non intuitive and a bit buggy sometime you can click sometimes you can't. Another gripe is you can't see where the tech trees are going until you go as there is zero visibility 'up the tech tree'. This makes the occasional onscreen messages like "learn shard harvesting to harvest" which tell you what you need but not where to go, yea after a play thru you will know where to go, but the online help is pretty pathetic. At some point a fan site will likely put together the tech-tree which should have been packaged with the product. All this plus complete crashes until patched 1.06 and still crashes a few times per hour particularly if you micromanage a tactical battle. Indicates a deployment significant deployment failure.

All that said  Elemental  shows promise with a always a 'new' world and significant customization capability. Its possible that the designer got it right and engineering dropped the ball, at any rate I am going to put it on the shelf for a bit as the bugs are really too obnoxious to put up with (ALT TAB to windows will wreak havoc on the UI fonts forcing restart as I found when writing this review.) This game needs a LOT more QA before it ready for release. I prefer to get paid to beta test rather than the other way around.

Quite a good game, though it crashes a lot. I like the dynastic system. Game play is a bit clunky in places, but nothing unexpected for an older game.
