Archmage: Archmage

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 20:27:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darkangeln - I've been playing archmage for 2 years now and I'm still not sick of it. The closer I get to becoming the strongest mage, the more I want to play. Archmage is a web-based strategy game where you are a reincarnated mage. You can pick 5 magic...

Archmage: Better games out there

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 17:38:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afletch - Archmage is just one of the many free online games that are springing up all over the place. They are all based on the same principles but some are definately better than others. The basic idea behind any of these online games is that your account is...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author moofive - I had just gotten into the web-based game thing, and was looking for another one to play. I found Archmage. It was great and certainly better then any of the ones I had played before (Utopia, Monarchy, etc.). At least at first. After a week or to it just...

Archmage: Slow, Confusing, and Dull

Sat, 26 Aug 2000 10:00:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dantessa - I really wanted to like ArchMage. The premise is quite good, and it has a great deal of potential.

But, instead of finding it the riveting experience I was promised, I just found it highly dissatisfying. The game rules are confusing at best,...

Archmage: Best Online Game I've Played

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 14:30:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author g106 - Archmage is a multi-Player online game. It is played completely on the Archmage website and there is nothing to download. The downside is there are no pictures or sound. In Archmage you are an archmage in charge of running a country. You must defend...

Archmage: Archmage is not for weenies

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 17:39:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author refmaker - If you are the type of person that plays Doom or Quake only in the "invincible" mode, then Archmage is not for you. If you, on the other hand, enjoy the challenge and roleplaying, you will be captivated for months to come.

The first...

Archmage: I used to be in love with it....

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 01:22:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author inerte - Archmage is the first web based game I've played. It really has a "fantasy" look and feel, with mystical monsters, battles, spells, accessories, items and characters. It has several different servers, each one credits your turns in a...

Archmage: Web based FUN!!!

Tue, 9 May 2000 17:15:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Pshaw - Archmage is a great web based simulation game, it requires no download and is totally free. It is a turn based game where you are a "mage" (magic-user) in a mythical world. You can choose from 6 different servers each one having its own unique...

Archmage: Progressively boring.

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 14:34:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Reaver1019 - Archmage is a good game. At first. But after awhile, it winds its way down to just one thing...boredom.

We'll get to my own experience in a second, but first let's discuss what this game is. You take on the aspect of a mage reincarnated...

Archmage: Reminds me of old BBS games...

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 01:39:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MrGrim - I used to play games like Archmage all the time. Back in the BBS days (before the Internet - Bulletin Board Systems for you newbies out there), there was a game called Alpha Colony VI. What a game - you build an empire, you invade other countries that...

Archmage: A Highly Addictive, Yet Mediocre Game

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 17:34:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ViperLover - I began playing Archmage over the summer while working second shift. What else did I have to do? Everyone else was coming in from parties when I was getting off work and then I was off to work when they got home. So, I played Archmage.

Archmage: I really did try......

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 02:21:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author khunkwai - Really I did, I really wanted to enjoy this game, I gave it many weeks and lots of time to get stuck in, weathered the first few set backs, battled through the lower ranks and gradually sank into a routine, of build, get attacked and rebuild which grinds...

Archmage: High hopes were let down.

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 02:00:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author DaveTrump - The Game:

I first played this game about 2 years ago, then went back and tried it again a few weeks ago. After a few days I stopped.

The concept is fairly interesting. It's a multiplayer turn based strategy game where you...

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 21:38:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author strange218 - For anyone who likes role playing games, Archmage is the game for you. I began playing Archmage a few months ago, and I have been hooked ever since. The basic premise of the game is that you are a magician that specializes in a particular type of...

Archmage: Archmage? If you're bored...

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 14:36:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - I have played Archmage extensively, and have had characters on several of the available servers, so my opinion of Archmage is, I believe, very well-rounded. I would not recommend Archmage to new gamers for several reasons, which I will outline in this...

Archmage: Archmage: Insomniacs apply here.

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 00:15:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Pugilist - The title really says it all: BORING!

When you log on to the main website, you get rather cut-and-dry graphics: nasty looking text with the same stale graphic they have used for at least the past year.

After creating an account, and logging...

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 01:59:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I remember playing this game a long time ago. As with many of the other people that reviewed this online game, I got bored with it. Why? There was no point to it. Sure, it was fun…at first. The point was to develop, protect and expand a city by...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Veryhomicidle - This is one of the games that someone told me to try out and so I decided to give it a shot. I have just come back from the game to tell you what I have seen so far. First of all the person that told me about this game has some explaining to do because...
