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.
The GUI has received a massive overhaul and the most substantial upgrade since the game's initial release. The purpose has been to give the game a more mature and distinct identity, where many generic icons and symbols have been replaced with custom ones, such as the new buffer icon that resembles the moon phase cycle.
Menu tabs have been made more compact and now take up much less of the screen with a slightly translucent black backdrop that allows more of the game behind to be seen. Similarly, the vignette has been removed to show more of the background and the private messages tab that used to take up the whole screen now takes up much less of it. The private messages tab also no longer closes other menu tabs and is instead displayed on top of other menus. You are now also able to open other menus while browsing private messages, which will cause it to appear on top of the menu, and you can click between menus to bring the one you use to the front.
The loot container has also been made a lot more compact and is now small enough that it can fit between menus on the left and right, allowing you to see your inventory, equipment, and an item you can pick up at the same time For now, the only GUI element that resembles the old design is the calendar in the top-left, which will be replaced with the PvE overhaul. For now, we still need it for the turn-timer that will be removed with the PvE overhaul.
The GUI overhaul also comes with many quality-of-life improvements and general improvements to the functionality of GUI elements.
Formatting support has been added for character bios, private messages, scenario details, and local chat! You can read about the supported syntax from the formatting guide at https://battlemageroyal.com/formatting.php
The guide itself is written using text formatting similar to that of a character bio, and you can click on the pencil icon to see and alter the text used for the guide.
Not all syntaxes are allowed for everyone, and except for local chat, which has very limited formatting support, each place you can use text formatting has a link to a guide listing the specific syntax it supports.
While writing text, any valid formatting syntax will also cause the text to change so you can preview its effects. This will also let you know if a particular syntax is supported in a given place, as the text will appear as normal if it isn't supported.
As an example, embedded images are only allowed in bios, while links are only allowed in bios and private messages. Syntax such as ** and () are allowed everywhere, and there's even a new "", which allows you to style text in the color of your character's nature, similar to **, and when used in a private message, the text inside the quotes will be formatted similar to spoken text in the local say channel.
In addition, undo support has also been improved for these input fields.
With the addition of text formatting and the ability for speech impediments to affect text in private messages, I thought now was a good time to give the speech impediments extra love!
All speech impediments have had their pipeline improved
Bimbos will no longer sound inherently stupid, but when they are, they are more likely to conflate names and mundane words with similar-sounding words of a sexual variety.
Bimbos will now add "totally" and discourse markers such as "um" and "like" more logically; they are so smart now!
Bimbos will now use more contractions and be forced to giggle on occasion.
Bimbos will now give themselves nicknames, which will replace their name whenever they speak it. A nickname is often a diminutive or feminine variant. If the bimbo is male, they must have sissification enabled for them to give themselves a feminine-sounding nickname. If the bimbo is stupid, they are more likely to give themselves a slutty nickname.
Animal sounds will now be inserted a lot less randomly and instead be placed between phrases and sentences to be less disruptive to the sentence structure (it also sounds more cute that way!)
Dogs and cats are more likely to make an inquisitive animal sound at the end of a question.
Full animal voices have also been improved to make them better reflect the original sentence.
The nekomimi cat variant is now much better at recognizing potential words to change the sound of and now ignores words that could end up sounding worryingly close to the N-word.
Each other speech impediment now has an internal pipeline for stupifying a character's sentences, instead of the message being stupified after being passed through another speech impediment.
This allows each speech impediment to control the order in which sentences and words are stupified in different ways to better fit each unique case.
Stupid characters will now sound simpler and are more likely to mispronounce words, considering commonly mispronounced words and misspelled words that imply a phonetic misunderstanding.
Being sufficiently dumb and mindless can now cause a character to only be able to address themselves in the third person!
Stupify now follows a logarithmic increase instead of a linear increase, meaning smaller decreases in intellect will have a more substantial impact in the beginning.
Other speech impediments follow a linear increase because their status effect follows a linear increase, but since getting lower intelligence has a substantial diminishing, the speech impediment now adjusts for this.
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!

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.
How to find more clothes?
A very good game with a surprisingly active community. If you dont want sex RP dont play. If you dont like TF kink (as in SEXUAL kinks) and identify as a robot without sexual organs then you also probably shouldnt play.
Otherwise this game is a great framework and creative foundation for deeper RP and I cant wait to see it grow! That being said some asspects of the game arent perfect but its infinitely more accesable and fun to use than an IRC chat with colored text.
