LostMagic

Gameplay

LostMagic is a combination of RPG and real-time strategy gameplay. With a simple control system, players use the stylus to draw runes on the touch screen and cast over 300 spells by combining the 18 runes in various ways. Runes are based on different elements such as fire, water, wind, earth, light, and darkness. Combining them in different orders also produces different results. Up to 3 runes can be combined. With one dark magic spell players can capture the various monster across the land and add them to their party á la Pokémon. Unlike Pokémon, however, the monsters are controlled in real-time. Monsters include hounds, ghosts and powerful dragons. The spells are also cast in real-time adding to the peril. Items can be collected that augment different attributes of each monster. Finally, players can pit their monsters and spellcasting prowess against each other in local and online multiplayer.

Story

Players control a young boy named Isaac. His father was the Sage of Light but he has now inherited his wand. The Diva of Twilight is picking off Sages and stealing their wands one by one in attempt to rule the world. Isaac must travel across the land, searching far and wide for monsters and other Sages in order to understand the power that's inside himself as well as save the world. There are multiple endings based on the choices the player makes. Depending on how good or bad you are, major characters might die.
