Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic goes gold

Bethesda Softworks has announced that its latest real-time strategy game, Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic, has gone gold and will soon ship to stores. The game is the sequel to 1998's Magic & Mayhem, and it uses a similar combination of strategic and tactical combat, as well as role-playing elements such as character development and spellcasting. Players assume the role of wizards who can fight battles using both direct offensive magic spells and summoning spells, which bring a number of different creatures under their control. As wizards progress through the game, they build experience and gain access to more powerful spells and creatures.

Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic was developed by Charybdis, and it will be available in stores later this month for an approximate retail price of $39.95. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game.
