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. \n \nIn Fictorum, your mage wields real, legendary power right from the start—unlike those found in most magic-centric games. Our spellcasting and shaping system 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, and can be changed 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 clustered targets. Shaping makes spellcasting tactical and satisfying; an experience more about tailoring your magical arsenal to effectively, efficiently, and enthusiastically destroy every obstacle. \n \nYet, challenge is abundant—the wizard must bring down a sprawling empire by himself. Your journey across the randomly-generated world map features locations chock full of enemies and structures to destroy.","42936\u002Ffictorum-cover.jpg","42936\u002Ffictorum-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=zymHeCLQy5A","2017-08-09",null,19604,"fictorum",[18],{"company":19,"developed":21,"published":21},{"name":20},"Scraping Bottom Games",true,[23,24,25],"Role-playing (RPG)","Adventure","Indie",[27],"PC (Microsoft Windows)",[29,45,60,75,90],{"id":30,"author":31,"outlet":34,"summary":40,"review_url":41,"review_date":42,"original_score":43,"normalized_score":44},36082,{"id":32,"name":33},3642,"James Paley",{"id":35,"logo":36,"name":37,"website_url":38,"score_format":39},7,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com","100","Fictorum is a fantasy thought experiment of sorts.
