Lichdom: Battlemage is a first-person caster that gives the Mage the spotlight in a way never before seen in games.

You must carefully craft a vast array of spells and learn to cast them in the heat of combat.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 3.0 GHz dual core or better (AMD FX 4100 or Intel Core 2 Duo), 4 GB RAM and DirectX 10 compatible with 512 RAM or better (Radeon HD4870 or NVIDIA 8800 GT). At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 12GB.
