Our take on The Lost Wizard
Character development is tied to gem collection: Tibiothar reaches maximum magic only after collecting all the gems.
What is The Lost Wizard?
The Lost Wizard is an adventure RPG puzzle game set in the castle of Althazar, which has been invaded by the Skeleton King.
Players control Tibiothar, a wizard trying to free Althazar and stop the invading forces. The adventure covers ten dungeons. Collecting gems develops Tibiothar’s magic, with all gems needed to reach the character’s maximum magic level. Magical books teach spells, and the spirit of fire can interact with the environment. The game asks players to consider their moves before acting. After learning stronger spells and collecting gems, Tibiothar can face the Skeleton King.
