What Kind of Game: Magic System?
I like my RPGs with a heavy dose of magic. Can I play something resembling a wizard in this game?

no, it's a believable fantasy, no magic, just tough men with axes and bows)

No. It's a low magic merc game like Battle Brothers.

The Term for this game is "LOW fantasy"

I haven't fully explored it yet, the alchemy skill seems to give you bombs that give you good area effect damage plus the ability to make healing items. Other then that though it seems there isn't much magic to be had.

I am disappointed, a lot of smaller games that look interesting never or rarely seem to have magic in their fantasy setting. But I am still going to try it at some point.

Well, how would you accept that there is a squat real fantasy based on myths, but everyone fights like in a real Middle Ages, with peaks, bows, with the Inquisition, believing in the Holy Eye, without any grooves with hands and fireballs =)
from the mythical there are plague rats, plague infected and ghouls that live only in tombs)
maybe in the future there will be some more mythological creatures.
In the release, the quest appeared to search for dragon bones, this is straight progress))

I also saw ghost boars with something called a Nighmare spawing, it was like a bighorn goat that hit a ton.
If you want a game like this but has some magic, try playing Battle Brothers. There is a type of unit that has some magic. Otherwise this is low fantasy, meaning...Welp. Most of the magic stuff is usually with enemies? Kinda.

mh no buy then

As an avid fantasy fan this is one thing I do miss in the game. It isn't a fantasy game though, and for what it is it's amazing. I would LOVE if shiro did some LIGHT fantasy but I think their dev strength really shows with the medieval-fantasy setting. TBH if they really had the funds to branch out more they'd become a threat to the rest of the market; sad state of industry, but my fingers are still crossed for their successes and future projects. No solid reason stand-alone mod-updates couldn't be in the future, either, if it's profitable for the company; even without it I have to say the game is worth the initial buying price.

There are a few undead but if you're looking for wizardry this probably most definitely is not the game for you; the focus here is more on the archer that would take out any given sorcerer before they had the chance to cast their pew pew spells.

There are also a few undead in tombs.

well, the game will still develop, I'm sure the lore will be expanded and more mythological creatures will be added) it would be a good variety, I'm in favor of skeletons, some kind of goblins, dragons and dead people on mounds) with ghosts of people, like a banshee
