This was my very first big PC game that I owned. The (german) voice acting is superb, it's well written and you can absolutely feel the love they put into it. I remember having a blast as a kid, replaying it countless of times (although i never made it past the pen-ultimate stage as my kid brain couldnt figure out a puzzle). Every Stage has it's own theme and feel, the quests and puzzles never felt too much of a burden and the Lvl-up system was kinda unique for its time! It would mean the world to me to finally re-experience this magical adventure i loved so much as a kid.
This is my first ps1 game that my father used to play way back early 2005 and first time played a RPG. It is so hard for me that time, my father print a whole walkthrough just to get finish on the platform puzzle into it. The uniqueness and the story universe of technomage is such a fantastic for my perspective. I'm 27 years old now and i dont have the original copy of my ps1, searching through the internet finds out the game developer was defunct 1 year after the game release. I would want this game badly so that my inner child and memories embrace one last time from that game.
Ironically, my first contact whit this game was through a spanish videogame magazine with game guides, and Technomage was there. When I read about it, I instantly knew I would love to play this game, and so did I!
It was one of my initial Action RPG games I've ever played, and I enjoyed so much to travel across all regions of Gothos as Melvin, it owned that personal touch in its graphic design of all environments and regions, the blend between 3D for scenarios and particle effects and 2D for characters and all the rest of elements, the isometric perspective and camera control, all the puzzles, the platforming sections, those fights... For me, it had the exact amount of challenge for an adventure like that, not so easy to end it soon, but also not so difficult that it could frustrate even the most experienced player.
It also has a very nice plot, maybe not the best of all times but still very exciting and unique in its own way, with its own fantasy universe. Besides, I'm very grateful for it being spanish dubbed because I didn't know any english back in the day, and this allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. It's a shame this couldn't have a sequel, it easily had been an instant buy for me. I've dreamt about playing it again a gazillion times but, unfortunately, I just can't access to my original copy because I lost it, it would be a treat to have it here so I can play it again.
One of my first PC games. Super immersive and scary back then, especially the crypt and the Hive.
Couldn't beat it as a kid though. It will always have a very special place in my heart and I'd like to play it again on my crt tv without resorting to complicated workarounds for the original PC release.
Germany was never really known as a great game developer. The makers had hoped to change that with Technomage. This game is bursting with a level of attention to detail that was only seen at the time by the biggest of the big game developers with a lot of money. It is full of heart and soul and it is a shame that hardly anyone knows about this game. True Rerto fans should be given the opportunity to give this game a fair chance.
I never did playe it, but I found an old PC magasine of mine, and I read it again. It was in, and felt such good just to read about this game, that I decided, to play it. But of course, it does not available anywhere 😕Please GoG, make it happen ❤️
This was the first RPG that I ever played, it will forever have a special place in my heart. When I was a kid my father got me a full library of old games (not that old at the time), of dubious origins, but this one always stood out for me.
Every stage had it's own theme and aesthetic, they were so memorable that I still remember every single one of them. Not even my arachnophobia stopped me from finishing and replaying it. There is no handholding for the quests or puzzles; explore, read and figure it out yourself. The story and setting might be considered cliche, but things become cliche because they are good enough to be reused, and the devs brought some of their creativity to spice it up a bit.
I would love to have a legitimate copy of this old childhood game in my library and to be able to easily recommend it to others without the need for dubious links and crafty fixes.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears.
The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts.
Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.Fantasy Science fiction
