Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Battle Mages – Sign of Darkness is an exciting mixture of real-time strategy and role-playing strategy genres. The game is full of brief cut-scenes which explain the premise behind the two playable characters. The game’s characters look really good; most of them are represented in a detailed way. The only glitch is that the animations are a bit rough. There are plenty of single-player and multiplayer maps to use throughout the gameplay. The sound system hasn’t changed much since the previous game.
