What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The final pattern of this game will be turn-based tactical combat + adventure sandbox. At present the primary gameplay, turn-based and party-based tactical combat with the Arena mode, has been completed, players who just like combat would be able to get a lot of fun. So we release the Early Access version to collect players' feedbacks. And then continue to develop another core content: the Adventure/Story mode.

Update: The Adventure mode has been released on March 31, 2018. The basic sandbox adventure framework is completed. Next we will continue to enrich the game content and start the development of the main story line.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The most difficult part is the combat system that has been finished. We worked on it concentratedly for more than one year. The total development cycle is much longer if included the early stage which used to study and research on various rules.

// Fortunately, it has been basically completed. Adding new classes/feats/items, and the Adventure/Story mode is relatively simple. These contents will be finished within six months to one year. At that time, the official version will be published.

After more than a year of development, we realized that the early estimated time for the final release was too optimistic. It now appears that the improving of adventure/story mode and more game content will take several years to complete.

Of course, before the final release, we will continue to update the game content to ensure that our players always have new content to play. This is how the Steam Early Access mode works.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Low Magic Age will be a fantasy RPG game of turn-based and party-based tactical combat, adventure sandbox, main story/random quests, trading and running businesses, role and team development, etc.

More player classes, multi-classing and prestige classes, characterized monsters, magic items and game modes will be added later.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At this stage, we already have the completed combat system and the exciting Arena mode, with 100+ classical fantasy monsters and 100+ magic items.

The Adventure mode has been released, too. Next we will continue to enrich the game content and start the development of the main story line.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“To thank players for growing up with the game and their long-term supporting, we started the Early Access stage at a lower price. As the development of more game content goes on, we'll increase the game price gradually until the final release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'll collect suggestions and bug reporting actively from the steam player community. It'll help us to fix those hard-to-find bugs and improve our game. We'll release new game contents timely to the community, and then adjust them based on the players' feedbacks. This mode can help us to make the game more fun and perfect.

Actually, from the beginning of the prototype, we've been maintaining a long-term and intimate connection with our players. Today's Low Magic Age was created by these SLG and TRPG enthusiasts from major forums, post bars and groups!”

  • Well designed skills and spells: Fighters own a variety of martial arts movements, not only basic attacks. All of the arcane spells and divine spells of caster classes are greatly improved, too.

About graphics similarity with another game ToME4:

We purchased and used a tileset of monsters/items from the Norwegian artist Raymond E. Gaustadnes (Shockbolt). He made another tileset for ToME4. So, both tilesets share the similar style and a few same tiles.

Thanks to the Open Gaming License (OGL) from Wizards of the Coast:

It has been stated explicitly by Wizards of the Coast that anyone can make a computer game using the open game content under the terms of the OGL. The OGL can be found in the OGL section of their official website, or the in-game Wiki system.

In order to apply a set of rules designed for a pen-and-paper game to a computer game, many rules in the OGL had been adjusted or improved.
