AgainROM

AgainROM is a new engine for Rage of Mages (Allods, 1998) and Rage of Mages II: Necromancer. You play the original campaign with your own copy of the game, on Windows, macOS or Linux.

It ships no game files. It reads the maps, graphics, sounds, music and movies from the files of a copy that you already own. The English and the Russian releases of both games work.

The campaign, towns, shops, the tavern, battles, spells, movies and saving all run, but the game is a work in progress. Each known difference from the original is listed in docs/divergences/.

What you need

  • 64-bit Windows, macOS on Intel or Apple Silicon, or Linux x86_64. See Install on Linux for its system libraries.
  • The game files of Rage of Mages, English or Russian, from a Windows install or the CD, or of Rage of Mages II (see Rage of Mages II). Each game needs its own lawful copy. They are sold digitally, for example on GOG.

AgainROM only reads the game files. It never changes them.
