Magic: The Gathering: BattleMage is a real time strategy game published in January 1997 by Acclaim for both PCs and PlayStation. It was also in development for the Sega Saturn, but this version was cancelled in mid-1997. In addition to the real time strategy game, BattleMage has a head-to-head mode. It is set on the continent of Corondor, where a planeswalker named Ravidel forces the most powerful mages to fight each other, so that he can eventually destroy them and conquer the land. The game had a poor critical reception due to its unfair AI, unfriendly interface, and unbalanced gameplay.[citation needed] Spectrum Holobyte filed a lawsuit after Acclaim published the PC version in January 1997, claiming Acclaim had violated an agreement the two companies made in November 1996 which established a release schedule for the game, with the two companies publishing it for different platforms. In October of 2018, the game's rights were acquired by Canadian production company Liquid Media Group along with other titles originally owned by Acclaim Entertainment.

Utter garbage. I never got into the "real" Magic: The Gathering card game, and this title is most likely the reason why...

Com toda CTZ esse jogo foi desenvolvido para PC, com mouse em mente, e depois portado para Playstation.

O foco dele é uma espécie de arena de batalha onde você baixa suas cartas, colocando terrenos, usando mana pra invocar criaturas e lançar feitiços e mágicas.

Mas tudo é em tempo real, com cooldown, e os menus são bem rudimentares, além do zoom que é muito fechado para uma área de movimento do cursor pequena, fazendo com que a jogabilidade seja burocrática, lenta e com péssimo feedback.

Os gráficos são bem ruins, inclusive. Foi uma experiência bem frustrante e bem ruim pra eu que curto o jogo de cartas.
