About Spellcaster University
In Spellcaster University, you take on the role of the headmaster of a wizard school set in a colorful heroic fantasy world. Build your school, manage your budget, recruit teachers. Will you turn your university into a black magic academy where the best professors of necromancy and demonology teach? Or will you create a place in complete harmony with nature whose goal is to train druids and shamans? The choice is up to you.
Be warned that all of this won’t be easy. You will need to survive the ruthless attacks of the orc tribes and work around the strict control of the education authorities.
Spellcaster University’s console versions will include all the content and updates added to the PC version until now. It has also been totally reworked to make it fully playable with a controller.
