The next layer determines how that element will be “shaped,” or delivered, and there are seven choices: a targeted single-enemy shot, a targeted area-of-effect, a local area-of-effect around the player, a ray that shoots in a straight line, a proximity trap, a grenade-like “lob,” and a “pool” that has persistent effects for enemies within a certain radius. At the core, players choose one of eight elements, or “Sigils”: fire, lightning, ice, telekinesis, and others still to be revealed. The magic system revolves around a three-layer crafting system. Xaviant wants every player to feel like an “unmitigated badass,” McMain said, though they’re conscious of creating a challenge as well. And unlike in most RPGs, bosses in Lichdom are not immune to status effects (though if you hit them with too many they briefly become “enraged” and more dangerous). There are no mana bars or cooldowns, so players can do their thing without running out of casts. “If magic was a real thing, then how does a guy with a sword even compete?” Xaviant founder and CEO Michael McMain said during our E3 demo. For example, Xaviant wants to demolish the “glass cannon” trope, and this mage won’t fall after a few hits. Lichdom was built for people who love playing as mage characters but hate the limitations most games place on the class. That’s the hook: become a seriously powerful sorcerer, and screw everything else. Lichdom‘s levels are linear, and the only choices given to players involve the game’s deep spell-crafting system. This is not a typical single-player RPG, with a boring open world, pointless side quests, and hundreds of useless loot drops. The story is not the focus, though it’s combat at Lichdom‘s heart. you can play as the female character if you prefer, with the male aiding her - though the characters (voiced by well-knowns Troy Baker and Jennifer Hale) remain the same. What Xaviant showed of the story involved a mission to take down a powerful enemy, with the hero aided by a female character named The Gryphon. Lichdom: Battlemage is a first-person, combat-based RPG.
