Magic: The Gathering: BattleMage

Magic: The Gathering: BattleMage is a real-time strategy game developed by Realtime Associates and published by Acclaim Entertainment, set within the Magic: The Gathering universe on the continent of Corondor. The game combines real-time strategy with a head-to-head mode, and received a mixed critical reception, largely due to its unfair AI and unbalanced gameplay. The PAL release arrived on 31 October 1997.

Three variants are currently catalogued in the database, each covering a distinct European territory, with separate serials for France and Germany alongside a broader multi-territory edition covering Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, and others. All releases come in Full Jewel PAL cases with a hologram on the case, and are single-disk releases. Language coverage includes English, French, and German across the three variants. No loose paperwork or bundled demo discs have been documented. As a licensed trading card game adaptation with distinct territory serials, this title is of interest to collectors tracking Acclaim’s localised PAL releases from the late 1990s.
