Evaluation

Magisterium: Fantasy Craft entered Steam Early Access on November 13, 2023, and has been receiving consistent, substantial content updates throughout its development. The developer shipped a sweeping overhaul in March 2025 (Update 0.2), a magic and exploration expansion in June 2025, a new playable Arborean race and location in October 2025, and a Christmas seasonal event in December 2025. This establishes a clear pattern of major content releases roughly every 3–5 months. The sole DLC on the store — a cosmetic Supporter's Pack released September 26, 2025 — was framed by the developer as a way to fund continued development. However, the developer's last official communication of any kind was a crash-fix post on January 21, 2026. As of October 1, 2026, over 8 months have passed with no updates, patch notes, announcements, or social media activity visible in the game's Steam news feed. Given the established 3–5 month cadence, a new major update would have been expected no later than around April–June 2026. That window has now passed with no communication or explanation from the developer. The game remains listed and purchasable in Early Access, but the extended silence — more than twice the historical gap between major updates — raises genuine uncertainty about whether development is continuing as previously.

About this game

Magisterium: Fantasy Craft is a third-person single and co-op medieval fantasy life simulator with survival and RPG elements. In Fantasy Craft you take a part of the main character who lost his father and had to move to his uncle to the village of Lovelydale to start a new adult life.

Learn all the crafts and become a master in alchemy, potion-making, blacksmithing, carpentry, hunting, fishing, cooking, tailoring.

You will meet your old friends and get acquainted with new people in the village. You can explore magnificent places full of mysteries.

Your incredible journey to the fantasy world starts here.

CUT DOWN TREES AND MINE MINERAL RESOURCES

To build a house, different workbenches and craft various items you should chop trees, mine mineral resources.

BUILDING

Build your-self a nice comfortable house, furnish it and place a lot of workbenches there.

HUNT, FISH

To survive in this wonderful fantasy world, you will have to hunt and go fishing. Those animals are extremely crafty and dangerous.

MAPS AND COMPASS READING

Feel a real immersion into the survival game! There were no google maps in ancient times😊. So, there will be no markers on the maps you have to learn how to use compass and read maps. Buy a compass and various maps from traders.

COOK

Fell like a real chef and go cook some delicious sophisticated food to get all sorts of buffs.

GARDEN

We heard that failure of crops led to the rise in prices for fruits and vegetables. It will be better to do gardening to get enough vegetables and fruits for cooking and winery.

WINERY

You can’t imagine a good dinner without a bottle of a nice wine in the end of a hard-working day. So maybe it’s time to build your own winery to craft some wine, rum, grog or beer? They say that this business pays off nicely😉.

POTION-MAKING

If you want to increase your health, stamina, weight, make woodcutting and mine-digging faster and more efficient, increase your critical damage and your armor - you should master the art of potion-making.

TRADE WITH NPCs

You can earn money by crafting things and selling it to NPC or traders on the market.

BLACKSMITHING

As long as you stay in the village or on your land you are in no danger, but exploring new enchanted locations full of dangerous species will require excellent weapons. Take a look at blacksmith’s goods and chose the best blueprints of a weapon to fight the monsters.

TAILORING

Don’t tell me you are going to explore the world without a good armor! Pay a visit to the best tailor in the village, I saw a lot of blueprints of some fine clothing to give you great protection in a combat.
