Theory of Magic (Arcanum)

I have spent 17 hours on a character and when I prestiged they got deleted. (they aren’t supposed to be) I don’t know what caused this, it isn’t a huge deal for gameplay but still feels bad. I am not sure why this happened but please be cautious when prestiging and download your save to your files, I was only saving with my browser and having a save downloaded would have allowed me to restore my character. Dont make the same mistake I did.

I know this game lost its popularity long ago but I just wanted to say: this really is one of the greatest incrementals of all time. Like the prestige tree, groundhog life, and of course the father of all incrementals Cookie Clicker, this spawned its own subgenre of incrementals, which together with the looper genre led to arguably the most loved game on this site; terraformental. I salute this game.

Love the fact this is still getting updates

Is there any way to disable the hotkeys bar banner at the bottom? Have a playthrough on mobile phone chrome browser right now, and it's playable for the most part, but that banner cuts off the bottom 20% of the screen and makes some things impossible to click.

this game still gets updates? no wonder it feels different today

This was one of the better ones I've played, just wish it went a little further in depth. Albeit, it does take a while to get to the "end" of the game. You essentially get to a point where there's no more progress and gain resources forever to no end. The part I liked most was that you get to replay the game due to a mechanic and it can be vastly different depending on your choices.

Arcanum has always been one of my favorite RPG focused incremental games. There's really nothing out there that offers anything quite like it in the genre, things come close but ultimately have different appeals from Arcanum. So I'd like to thank Lemur, Mathias, Mindedness, and the others that have worked on and maintained this game. 5/5

Heaven has a special place for devs of good ol incremental browser RPGs, bravo!

I've loved this game for a long time; arcanum / ToM is a rare type of RPG that I wish there was more of. It's really great to see that it's coming to a more accessible location for new players to find. It's a bit of a shame that it isn't being actively developed anymore, because it has so much potential, but the game as it exists today is still a very fun way to spend a few days so it'll always be something that I recommend to others.

i love this game so damn much <3
