Blood and Magic is a real time strategy game in the same vein as the Warcraft or Red Alert series (although technology-wise it falls more closely to Warcraft 1). It uses the Dungeons and Dragons license (and thus has AD&D type units) and takes place in the Forgotten Realms AD&D setting. There are five seperate storyline scenarios of increasing difficulty with three missions per scenario, for a total of 15 missions in the game.

In the game you start out with the ability to create basal golems, around whom the game revolves around since you need them to gather resources (mana), with which you can transform them into buildings or stronger fighter units.

The game is tile-based with a 2D top-down perspective.

Trivia

The cheat system in this game is somewhat unique. Whenever you use a cheat (such as to get more resources to create a new unit), your opponent also gets the benefit of that cheat. So the gameplay tends to remain balanced even if you try to cheat.
