GameGrinNikholai KoolonavichSep 20177.5/10Fictorum deliveries on the promises it makes and is an enjoyable experience. It might look and feel a bit dated don't let that put you off what is a brilliant title. If you can get yourself lost in it's spellcasting and shaping mechanic then you will find a lot of fun to be had.

SelectButtonMarcus JonesSep 20177/10The meat of Fictorum lies in the magic casting system and the game's ridiculously, dangerously fun physics. Blowing up buildings and bridges or sending enemies soaring into the sky is just an absolute treat. Throw in a fun story to follow along with on the map screen, and some crazy spells and the game can become quite enjoyable. The only huge concern I might have is the overall challenge of the game and how easy it can be to die. I've jumped onto house debris and managed to die before sliding off since the game interpreted it as me being hit by an object. It can get frustrating to die over and over, but thankfully the game experience is new each time.

Total Gaming NetworkShawn ZipayAug 20172/5 starsPriced at just $19.99 (USD), Fictorum is a great idea hindered by extremely poor execution on almost every front. Casting and customizing these powerful, sometimes insane looking spells is neat for the first few times but the novelty quickly wears off when you discover the numerous shortcomings that plague the rest of the game.

GamerheadquartersJason StettnerAug 20175.5/10I felt that the largest issue with Fictorum is that while the destruction and magic are perfect, the world you use them in is bland.
