v2.1 is Out Now!

Hey wizards, We've just released a brand new patch to Fictorum! This one was primarily focused on performance and quality of life fixes, but there's a bit of new content in there too.

Major Improvements

New accessories are available and can be unlocked

You can now unlock accessories based on the number of titles you've unlocked. We've also added in a few new ones, specifically one that we probably should've had at release.

The third person camera has been significantly improved

We've received a bunch of feedback on our third person camera and we've worked hard to improve this. It's now faster, adjusts better to the environment, and will do it's darnedest to stay out of the way of your current spell. In addition, we've nixed our adjustable indoor boom and now use indoor transparency trackingmeaning your camera boom length will no longer need to adjust when entering houses.

A new statistics window has been added to the main menu

We wanted to provide you with more about your progress in the game and a tool to assist you with getting some of the more difficult achievements unlocked (like Master Modifier and Master Wizard). So we created this new statistics screen that shows the number of playthroughs, victories, losses, spell usage, and rune usage!

A reign of terror never feels so satisfying as when you leave a literal pile of rubble in your wake. Giving wizards a much-needed makeover, Fictorum is an action role-playing game that features fully-destructible structures, a randomized node-based world map, and a satisfying magic system with on-the-fly spell shaping and customization.

In Fictorum, your mage wields real, legendary power right from the start—unlike those found in most magic-centric games. Our magic system uses a dynamic and intuitive spellcasting and shaping system that grants the player an unrivaled level of customization and reconfiguration. Up to three runes can be applied to a spell, each affecting a different spell characteristic. The runes are easily swapped to suit the player’s current need, interest, or whim. You might amplify ice blasts to freeze enemies in place, expand the radius of a fireball explosion to crumble a bridge and hinder pursuers, or chain a lightning attack together to strike several targets in a cluster. Shaping makes spellcasting much more tactical and satisfying.

Rather than starting out as a hapless farm boy who stumbles into his powers and avoids enemies or entire areas until leveling up, players take on the role of an established wizarding badass, hell-bent on his mission for revenge. Yet challenge is abundant—the wizard must bring down a sprawling empire by himself, besting scores of bandits, cadres of Inquisitors, and hordes of corrupted abominations on his quest for vengeance. The protagonist has access to unlimited magical powers, making the game less about spamming that one spell that works passably well until it becomes upgradable. The experience is more about tailoring your magical arsenal, giving the player a wide range of freedom and the ability to effectively, efficiently, and enthusiastically destroy every obstacle. The randomly-generated world map features locations where every structure (from large buildings to bookshelves to tables to even a lone fork) can be demolished.
