Enroll at a competitive magic academy and venture into the secret world of perverted fantasies and erotic transformation, where students are encouraged to use their powers however they see fit in order to succeed. Fight to maintain your independence and maybe even your humanity, in a battle to see who will make it furthest in this world.
Battle Mages is a visual novel styled adult MMORPG with roguelite elements where players can play out fantasies together or go on fantasy adventures of their own. In the magical world of Battle Mages, becoming who you always wanted to be is easy, but staying that person becomes an ever growing challenge as you venture deeper into a world that seeks to tempt you with an easy life of pleasure and shape your mind and body to its whims.
Using the new website, new players will be able to play the game without registering! New players will be able to play the game for as long as they like before selecting a username and password for their account, and they will keep all their progress when they decide to register. Until a player has registered their account, they will be forced into solo mode, which disables all social features in the game and prevents the player from encountering other players.
All characters now have latent desires for different sexual activities that can be exploited by other players and NPCs. As your desires increase, more ways to engage sexually with your character will become available to others. There are currently 8 default desires in the game, and more unlockable desires will be added in the future.
Desires and the actions they unlock are designed to simulate the dynamic arch you might find in a porn or erotic novel, and players are required to take steps and use foreplay to arouse their opponent before they can exploit them sexually.
The game uses a form of pseudo-consent for sexual activities, where desires represent the things that can be done to your character without your explicit consent. Whenever a player decides to do something sexually, or indeed when they are forced to do something sexually, the player decides how they want to do it. You decide whether your character is dominant, submissive, seductive, gentle, eager, shy, or even, indignant, defiant, or affectionate! Doing something that is normally seen as dominant or submissive doesn't necessarily mean your character has to be either of those things, and most actions have 5 options or more, for a total of over 2000 ways for players to engage sexually and express how their character feels about doing a particular action!
Players can now set their sexual preferences in the game, which will decide who is able to exploit their character sexually and affect matchmaking. After careful consideration, it was decided to allow players to first select which pairings of feminine and masculine characters they are interested in, and within each pairing whether they allow for a masculine character to have a vagina and a feminine character to have a phallus (penis or strap on). This seemed like the best Goldilocks path between wanting to make the system flexible without making it too complex and overwhelming for players and developers.
There are no default sexual preferences, and new players will select their preferences during character creation, while existing players will be prompted to select their preferences when they enter the game.
Sexual preferences can be changed from the in-game settings and are displayed with content filters.
Since this game is a transformative experience, matchmaking doesn't just consider your sexual preferences and your current form, and those of your partner, but also potential forms considering mutual content filters like transgender and sissification.
Besides sexual preferences, all players are allowed to suppress up to one desire of their choice, which can be changed during an encounter at the cost of one action. While a desire is suppressed, it cannot be increased.
Lust no longer decreases while resting, and players must masturbate until orgasm to reset their Lust gauge.
Masturbation is also the opposite of suppressing desires and can be used to unleash your desires.
During sexual activities, players take turns acting and reacting, and the choosing player whose turn it is, is given priority.
While you have priority, other players must wait for you to decide what you want to do next.
Not all actions require you to have or be able to take priority, and players can continue to attack and cast spells while another player has priority.
Priority lasts for 20 seconds. Normally, your turn doesn't automatically end when the time is up, and you can continue to make your decision and share messages until you are ready to progress the sexual activity for roleplaying and other purposes.
When your priority time ends, other players are again able to take actions that require priority.
Instead of performing a sexual activity, a player can command another player to perform a sexual activity. This is the different between whether you give someone a blowjob, or command them to give you a blowjob.
When given a command, the commanded player decides how their character reacts. Will you be eager, shy, or defiant?",
If you don't react before the time is up, a decision will be made for you.
The choice bar is a new action bar that appears near the center of the screen when the player is given a choice, and will present the player with available options.
The choice bar is an integral part of the desire system, since players are often given a choice of how they want to perform a sexual act, but it has also been expanded into other parts of the game:
To better prevent misclicks on Restore Self or Soul Imprint, these spells now open the choice bar, where players must click the spell again to confirm the cast. Players can also drag options from the choice bar onto their action bars, which will create pre-confirmed versions of the spells!
Sex toys no longer show a long list of options in the item dropdown, but instead have a "Use" option similar to other items. When used, it will open the reaction bar, displaying various options with detailed descriptions like any spell for how the item can be used.
Many of these will show a second list of options similar to desire-based actions. Are you gentle, dominant, or caring in the way you use your toy for sexual gratification?
Some sexual activities have a natural conclusion and can trigger a finisher reaction when a given character is about to orgasm, which allows the player to make a split-second decision when their orgasm is imminent.
In the case of a blowjob, the character whose penis is being pleasured can decide what to do at the moment of orgasm. Desires and oral training allowing, they might decide to cum on the other character's face or in their mouth or throat.
Then, the character whose mouth is pleasuring the other player will select a reaction to what the other character just did, before finally, the first character orgasms.
These finishers often revolve around a penis, but sometimes, like during cunnilingus, it can also revolve around a vaginal orgasm.
Similar to when a character is given a command, a character must make a decision within the 20-second priority time, or a choice will be made for them during an imminent orgasm—they cannot hold out forever!
By default, only stimulation to the penis and vagina can raise lust and stimulation to the penis or clitoris can result in orgasm. Support has been added for other body parts to become overly sensitive, including the vagina, which can cause stimulation to these parts to cause lust and trigger orgasms as well.
It is the most common among women not to be able to achieve orgasm without clitoris stimulation, which is partly why clitoris stimulation is required to cause vaginal orgasm. Another reason is to make it easier for partners to time their orgasms together.
When the character with the penis orgasms, it will often trigger a finisher. While their orgasm is imminent and it's their partner's time to react, their partner can choose to masturbate their clitoris to trigger their own orgasm at the same time!
Since the ability to have an orgasm without clitoris stimulation is still normal, this particular variant of being overly sensitive is planned to be the most easily accessible in the future.
Sexual activities that can increase Lust will do so similarly to the Stoke Libido spell, but scaled to attack damage instead of spell damage.
Unlike spells and attacks, sexual activities increase Lust based on Hit versus Resistance, where your Resistance will reduce Lust gained similar to how it reduces damage from spells, and Hit will increase Lust you cause by increasing crit chance and reducing glance chance, similar to how Hit works for attacks, though sexual activities are unable to miss.
This better reflects how stimulation is caused and resisted, and creates an interesting hybrid-build opportunity.
When a character must choose a reaction within the priority time (during a command or a finisher), some of their actions can be restricted.
For instance, if your character has just been commanded to use their mouth, they won't be able to gag themselves or anything else that would prevent them from fulfilling the command!
Similarly, during a finisher, your partner might decide to cum in your ass, which will prevent you from using a plug until they are finished, or grab your arms or otherwise restrict your movement during a finisher, which will cause your character to be temporarily restrained.
The Change Appearance spell can no longer change a character's genitalia, and instead, new spells for altering a character's genitalia has been added to the game!
A ready check has been added for character encounters that happen while travelling. For 90 seconds after an encounter starts, or until both players are ready, players are prevented from fleeing and taking hostile actions.
When both players have pressed ready, the timer will drop to 5 seconds, and when the time runs out, both players will be able to flee and attack one another.
The ready check has been added to give players time to assess their opponent, read profiles, and chat before combat is introduced.
Inanimate players are now given one action per minute and 1 spell per ninth action (9 minutes) for a select few items that can now cast spells on their owner!
While an item is worn, it can interact with its owner in different ways, and similar to sexual actions, it can show intent and express its feelings to its owner.
Many items cannot be worn, and whenever an owner interacts with an inanimate player, the inanimate player will also be given the opportunity to react to the interaction in a similar manner a worn item might interact with its owner.
Being removed counts as an interaction and will allow the inanimate player to react to being removed by their owner, even though they are no longer able to interact with their owner at will.
The limitation on inanimate actions is to make sure inanimate items cannot spam their owner, and that a character with a wealth of items doesn't potentially get overwhelmed by their collection: An item is allowed to interact when interacted with, and being worn is considered a continuous interaction.
While worn, inanimate players are also allowed to cast spells on their owner while their owner is offline, which means an owner of a mischievous or defiant piece of clothing might wake up to quite the surprise!
At the moment, only a very small selection of items can cast spells on their owner, but in the future, I want to expand the list so all inanimate players have at least one spell they can cast in any form.
You enroll at the Mage Academy of Transmutation and Alteration, a school specialized in the perverted and deprived uses of magic. You are shown around by another student for your first day, where you learn about the different locations on campus and what to watch out for, but by the end of the day, you will have to look out for yourself.
It's a harsh school, where the strong raise to become battle mages and the weak become their playthings. No matter which group you fall into, there is a place for you at the academy, and you may find that your appropriate place in life is much different from what you set out to become!

It's a good beginning for a game...
I'm not being into roleplaying that much, so the game has to grow much. Or it wouldn't suit for solo-gamers.
First of all: The game throws you into a situation you can't figure out on your own, how to do... Or it takes much time.
There is a clock running down and days passing by... Later you will notice: Doesn't matter. It has no effect on anything.
Only the every daytime you can use or do something, like attend a class. You can find 1 Loot per daytime and 1 receipe (or spell or whatever)
After a while I realised, that I only have to stay in one room, wait for the next daytime and Explore the room twice until I found everything I can find in this room.
Then I switched to the second room and so on... Then attend all the classes, some several time and maybe they unlocked new spells to discover, so explore again...
And thats it... After you've done this, you can cast spells on yourself (or to others, if you play multiplayer). But your avatar doesn't change. There are many things I never managed out, how to get them.
There is one thing I don't understand that much: Getting an object... You can't do anything in the game anymore. Maybe you'll be used (if you was transfromed into a sextoy) but after you were used hard for the first time, there is nothing more to see. And if you get transformed into clothes or a ring... There's nothing interesting left.
There is so much potential is this game... But it really has to grow in PVE/Solo content...
Oh boy... Where to begin. This game is in need of a lot and I do mean a lot! What I thought was just a normal game turned out to be a roleplay game. I for one have no idea how to roleplay and honestly don't really like it. But that's all you really get, it's so bare bones. I traveled between six different rooms and collected some things and that's it! if I didn't run into someone trying to roleplay with me and beg me to do stuff to them, I ran into people who either tried to just attack you also thinking this is a normal game or they just leave as soon as you meet. (Thank goodness for that.) If you're also like me and don't really enjoy interacting with people this is not the game for you! Found out the hard way. The game if it can even be called that is just really bad. I do not recommend this "game."
Tbh, I do not really know what to do in this game. You can wander some around with a timer and collect some things with action points, sometimes meet another player that then vanishes again. At the moment there is mission something like an aim the player has or a plot.
This is a game badly in need of some PvE content. As is so common with multiplayer TF games, the playerbase seems to be about 99% people who log in and constantly beg for other people to do things to them. Unfortunately, and unlike other multiplayer TF games, this particular game doesn't really offer anything for you to do outside of dealing with these needy people. Your days are going to be spent searching the same scant few locations over and over again to tediously build up your known spells and items, perhaps do some crafting, and then... do a whole lot of nothing with all of the stuff you have learned.
Unless some effort is made to address this, I just don't see any reason to ever play this game over any of the other multiplayer TF offerings out there. But hey, at least there's an ignore option implemented so that you can easily shut down the too-many people who just can't take no for an answer and think you are there to indulge their every fantasy.
