Best RPG Since Final Fantasy!! ---Me
User Rating: 9.3 | Lost Magic DS
Lost Magic, for the Nintendo DS, is a great game by Taito and Ubisoft in which you draw shapes (called runes) to cast spells which each belong six elements, water, fire, earth, wind, light, and dark. The storyline is much deeper than most Legend of Zelda games and pulls you into it by letting you make game altering decisions. The main character of the game is Isaac, a fourteen-year-old boy and a mage's apprentice. The Diva of Twilight, keeper of the Wand of Balance, has lost hope in humanity and decided to open portals to the monster realm and destroy humanity. Along Isaac’s journey he must battle Sages, rescue damsels, and save people from ultimate destruction. The battle system of this game is probably the most creative part. You must draw runes to cast spells. Different spells do different things from healing, to trapping monsters for your own use, to turning enemy monsters to your side, to making a dragon that harms anything in its path. You also build your own party consisting of monsters that you've captured in battle. You can have up to three units, each unit having two to three monsters. The monsters come in six different categories, wind, fire, water, earth, dark, and light, just like the runes.This game also has Wi-Fi capabilities. In Wi-Fi, you pit yourself against one other person and test your skills either with your own single player file or as the bosses you’ve beaten and unlocked or multiplayer use. If you use your single player file, all the experience transfers over to your single player campaign. The only downside of Wi-Fi play is that the battles start to get slow and lag a lot.Overall Lost Magic is a great, immersive, though underappreciated game. Though the larger and Wi-Fi battles become a bit laggy, overall they are great. I personally think this may be the best RPG since Final Fantasy and hope that the good people at Taito and Ubisoft make this excellent game into a series.
