LostMagic is a strategy game for the Nintendo DS, where an apprentice mage has to control troops from goblins to dragons, learn spells and build an army to save the world. Set in a fantasy world you are Isaac, a trainee mage being raised by the Forest Witch. When a stranger visits his master, it reveals a threat to the world, and sets Isaac on a quest to defeat the evil that has corrupted the four archmages, and discover what happened to his parents, learning new spells and recruiting monsters for his army along the way. The plot is fairly standard but moves along nicely, and is only really there as an excuse for a series of battles and a good fantasy ...  Read the complete review

I've always been a fan of games that take a different approach, games that try to do things in a different way, even when they aren't great in every way. Even if the game isn't perfectly executed, I'll always interested to play it if it is unique in some way. Lost Magic is one of those games. Yeah, it's nowhere near perfect at all.

In this game you can choose certain dialogues when talking to people, but I think I have worked out ...  Read the complete review

This looked to be one of a range of new promising fantasy role playing games for the nintendo DS, but personally I was a little disappointed- I think the trendy style of gameplay (that is, you have to draw runes on the touch screen to cast spells) wears thin quickly and distracts from the rest of the game. It's a sort of real-time strategy type affair, like an adventure game where you're casting spells and regaining mana, and casting spells all at once, it gets a bit stressful actually! I think it work better if it was turn-based, there'd be more opportunity for strategical thinking. If it could be like a one-character FF Tactics, it would be awesome. It's ...  Read the complete review
