Lost Magic

Magic and monsters

Strengths: Great story, good gameplay, wifi, unique

Weakness: None

An amazing and unique game, genius use of touch screen and large variety of spells and leveling up. A game definantly worth buying. Ide recomend it to anyone with a ds especialy if they had wifi, I've been playing it for 2 months and I'm still not bored of it and I still have many more spells to unlock. :D

Goes with the game

Strengths: Need to draw the ruins to cast the spells

Weakness: none

Have played it for 18 hours and I am not bored at all. I still haven't finished the game. There are 400 spells and I have only completed about 60 of the spells. My favorite spell is the fire wind ruin because it shoots a big wind disc and damages all the enemies in the area that the disc goes through.

Lost Magic

Strengths: tons of magic, online wifi

Weakness: poor use of stylus

Lost Magic is a RST from Ubi. The game uses the stylus for magic. While there are tons of magic, the decision to use stylus makes it hard to control. The use of wifi means that the game will have good replay value.

All is not lost

Strengths: Use of Stylus to cast spells, Good storyline, Decent RPG elements

Weakness: Graphics, Repetitive gameplay, Frustrating at times

This game comes across as a lite version of hardcore RPG games. Combat system isn't impressive either but the way you cast spells using stylus is interesting. Story revolves around a young boy & his adventures but the levels get repetitive when you find yourself doing same stuff all over again. Boss battles can be frustrating but satisfying at the same time. Online 1 on 1 is a highlight of this...

Lost Magic

Strengths: Deep list of spells, solid gameplay

Weakness: Bad AI, stylus control is difficult

This title is more of a real time strategy game vs. a traditional FF style RPG which is what I sort of expected from Lost Magic. There a bunch of things that make this title cumbersome as noted in the weaknesses above. Although the use of the stylus for spell casting might be a good idea, for some reason, the recognition of the symbols you need to draw tends to be flaky. This is especially...

Somewhat intreguing DS game

Strengths: Real-Time Tactics with stylus control, spell casting system, challenge.

Weakness: Enemy types, slightly lame levels.

LostMagic is a Tactics game that utilizes the stylus to give your characters ultimate control. The main character, Issac, casts numerous types of spells against the enemies he encounters. Players do this by drawing up to three runes on the touch screen with the more powerful spells taking longer to cast. Issac can also charm monsters to fight on his side. They will usually do most of the...

A decent game that could've used more time in...

Strengths: Initially fun design, WiFi support

Weakness: Poor game AI, poor stylus implementation

This game is a real time strategy game, a genre that is mostly popular on PC, but if done right, could be really fun on the DS. The problem with this game is that unit AI is seriously flawed. If you tell a unit to go from point A to point B, it will try to walk through walls, getting itself stuck. There are other poor AI choices that force you to micromanage units which can be frustrating and...

Lost Magic

Strengths: Innovative real-time strategy game for the DS, with tons of depth.

Weakness: Touchscreen control a bit flaky, AI not so good. Game can get very difficult.

Lost Magic is a real-time strategy adventure game. You move from battle to battle across a world map and control an army of monsters (that you catpure in battle) to achieve various mission objectives. You also control the main character directly and use the stylus to draw a wide array of spells. The control on the spellcasting can be pretty touchy and you won't want to approach this title unless...

LostMagic Review

Strengths: Tons of spells. Multiple endings. Nintendo Wi-Fi gameplay.

Weakness: Extremely difficult and frustrating at times. Gameplay is somewhat short and repetitive. Bland graphics for a DS game.

It's clear to me that the developers put all of their attention on the idea of casting lots of different spells using by drawing runes on the touch screen. In that respect it does succeed, but they could've done a lot more to improve the presentation and flow of this game. Capturing monsters and using them in battle is a neat idea, but controlling them can be frustrating because all you can...

Land of the Lost

Strengths: Nice collection and magic system. Engaging. gets better as you play.

Weakness: The story is meh. Systems are good but could be better.

KLost Magic is one of the first DS roleplaying games and it's okay. The story is meh but the focus on spells, strategy, and monster collection is good. If anything, the problem is it's not fleshed out enough. The rune drawing is nice, but remembering the different spells and tryign to do multiple things at once can be a challenge. It would have been ebtter if it hd been more streamlined. But...
