The evolution

Not a new engine. The game, evolved.

Magic Dekaron began as a port of the Dekaron client to a modern, native engine. It grew into something bigger: one client that holds the entire game, keeps everything you love about it, and gets better with every update.

What "all-in-one" means

One download. The whole game.

Most revivals of an old game are an engine or a launcher that still needs the original client next to it, its patcher and its files. Magic Dekaron is different: the game's art, sounds, maps and data live inside the client, converted once into its own format.

  • No original install, no patcher, no extra packs: unpack and play.
  • Nothing of the original client is read while you play.
  • One account for this website and the game.
  • Updates arrive as a new client, ready to play.

Engine or evolution?

An engine runs a game. Magic Dekaron is the game: the client, its content, its look and the world it connects to, built to keep moving forward.

01 / PRESERVE

Everything that made Dekaron

The fifteen classes, the maps of Trieste, the skills, the quests, the items and the interface you know. The Classic look draws the world exactly like the original client, so nothing is lost.

02 / REBUILD

A native, modern client

Rebuilt from the ground up as a native client: unlimited frame rates, every screen size up to super-wide, sharper maps, and windows that are easier to use, with the classic ones one switch away.

03 / EVOLVE

Better with every update

New lighting and materials, rebuilt landmarks, new vegetation, footprints in the snow, redesigned windows. Each improvement is added to the same client, area by area and system by system.

Evolution in action

The same stage, a new light.

A character stage as the original client draws it, and the same stage in Magic Dekaron's remastered look.

Good to know

Questions about the evolution.

Do I need the original Dekaron installed?

No. Magic Dekaron carries its own content. Download the client, unpack it anywhere and start it.

Is it still the same game?

Yes. The world, the classes, the rules and the interface are the ones you know, and the Classic look shows the world exactly like the original client. What changes is everything around it: a native client, a remastered look you can turn on, easier windows and new details in the world.

Will my characters carry over between updates?

Characters live on the world server, not in the client. Updating the client does not touch them.

Which systems does it run on?

Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) today. A macOS client is planned.

How do I follow what changes?

this page and the community board. The roadmap above moves as features are finished.
