Spellcaster University

It's nice to have a magic focused game without it being connected to harry potter and hogwarts for once. Game is very chill and the campaign in easy to pick up and put down. Overall a good game.

This game is super addictive and fun. I sat so still and focused for 3 hours that my fitbit logged me as having a nap. 10/10 would manage teeny university and disassociate from reality again.

Интересно, реиграбельно, жаль без перевода.

Glitchy, uncomfortable to play, boring and pointless. I especially HATE the games with a timer. What's the point of building stuff? I would recommend this game to someone I really don't like.

Like many 'passive city-builder' games, it falls victim to the feeling of "what is the point?" problem. Decision making doesn't feel consequential enough like a deck-builder. City (or school) layout doesn't have much strategy. The build time/resources aren't levelling up like a rogue-lite. There isn't a greater story or arc unfolder. I could go on - but ultimately, the issue is that it does a whole lot of things "okay-ish" but never scratches any particular itch from a gameplay perspective. It's a pass from me.

总结先写前面：能玩，打发时间好用，但是经不起细玩 优化很烂，后期很卡。 学系其实根本不重要也不需要因材施教 嗯堆就对了。只要星星任务选得好困难三星直接拿捏。 地牢战斗意义不明 前期刷容易暴毙 后期没什么刷的必要 属于是捞一波见好就收——但是问题来了，那我为什么不直接选不开地牢的那个选项呢？还有钱或者房间拿呢。

Buy on sale if you're interested. It's fine enough, if a bit underbaked, may get the best results if you mess with the settings instead of playing on the default one. I only played on the standard settings, so my review only reflects that. Overall it's just not what I was looking for from a game with this theme. What you build is limited by what random cards you draw, individual students and teachers do not matter too much and you don't even really have time to get attached to them because the game is split into small segments where you have to leave and start over from scratch (excluding some passive bonuses and modifiers) when the progress bar on the top of the screen fills up. There are some mechanics like the university being attacked and a whole dungeon system, but they are woefully underutilized. You'll hardly ever get attacked unless you ignore the reputation system or go out of your way to antagonize a faction, and dungeons only show up like once or twice per "run" instead of being a core feature. There are a few random events but not nearly enough, and even seasonal ones don't seem to repeat, so even within one run, the latter half usually becomes more plain and empty.
