Why you might like it

  • Fans of the 11-book Dynasty of the Magi eBook series who want quest outcomes and their reading to feed into each other.
  • Players curious about an early experiment in tying an MMO's plot directly to a companion book series.
  • Anyone drawn to Egyptian-mythology-inspired magic systems and Outerworld-vs-Underworld faction lore.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Contemporary reviews from Metacritic and 148Apps found the movement and camera control clunky and the visuals dated even for its time.
  • The game shut down after its 2012-2013 launch window, so no live servers remain to play on.
  • The core gameplay loop (quests, mob grinding, skill trees) is fairly conventional once the book tie-in is set aside.

Gameplay, availability and research notes

Dynasty of the Magi is recorded as Browser MMORPG. Dynasty of the Magi was a fantasy MMO from PoetCode and Space Chimp Media, released for Android and iOS as what its creators called a 'Literary Immersive Massive Multiplayer Online' (liMMO) game: player actions and quest outcomes in the MMO were designed to directly influence the plot and events of a companion 11-book fantasy eBook series, and vice versa, with an ancient-Egyptian-mythology-inspired magic system. Players chose a Warrior Magi from either the Outerworld or Underworld faction, completing quests from the first eBook, 'Rites of Passage,' with results intended to shape the next book, 'The Culling.' Contemporary reviews from Metacritic and 148Apps found the core gameplay engine rough (clunky movement, no camera control, weak visuals) despite praising the concept's originality, and no evidence of continued development, updates, or community activity was found beyond its original 2012-2013 launch window.

The lifecycle record is Historical; no evidence of activity since 2012-2013 launch window, with verified platforms of Android, iOS. MMOFinder lists PoetCode / Space Chimp Media as developer and PoetCode as publisher.
