There are also RPG elements that let you level up your sovereign and partake in quests.
What it’s like
Elemental: War of Magic offers a sprawling, post-apocalyptic fantasy experience where players assume the role of a sovereign channeler tasked with rebuilding a shattered world. The core loop blends traditional 4X strategy mechanics—expanding empires, managing resources, and researching lost knowledge—with deep RPG elements. You directly control your hero unit on the tactical battlefield, casting spells and engaging in combat while simultaneously overseeing macro-level city building and diplomacy. The game distinguishes itself through its magic system, allowing for dynamic spellcasting that influences both individual skirmishes and broader strategic outcomes. While the narrative serves primarily as a framework for this grand strategy sandbox, the focus remains firmly on the intricate balance between tactical combat prowess and empire management. It is a complex, systems-heavy title that rewards patience and strategic planning over quick reflexes.
