This game does not have a good plot. Not to mention it does not have a real world setting like Final Fantasy VII does. It's battles are timed and if you do not beat the time you have to keep playing that battle to get past it. Speaking of the battles, your technique is writing symbols on a screen. This screen is terribly hard to write on because you have to be very precise on these writing or it does not work. Overall, this game is not fun and the battle system is way to hard to get unless you are an artist.

Interesting and even innovative

Many third party titles for the DS don't take the full advantage of the system's stylus and touch screen that they could, but Ubi Soft and Taito's Lost Magic is an exception. Lost Magic appears to be a tried and true RPG, and it is at it's heart, but it's innovative delivery and solid gameplay make it one of the better RPG's on the DS, as well as offering some features that make it worth checking out on it's own. Lost Magic revolves around young magician Isaac; who soon learns that the fate of the world is in his hands. Without giving too much away, Lost Magic features a great story that has a surprising amount of twists and turns that will keep you interested in the game alone. What really sets Lost Magic apart from the pack though is the use of the stylus and touch screen, which almost ends up like that of a proverbial magic wand. The game has a great look and strategy to it as well, while providing a healthy challenge as well. This department however is where Lost Magic's biggest flaw is apparent. There is a steep learning curve that comes out of nowhere that will frustrate you. If you can get through this flaw however, along with the buggy online multiplayer as well, you'll find that Lost Magic is a blast regardless. All in all, Lost Magic is an interesting and even innovative RPG for the DS that should be checked out by DS owners and RPG fans alike.

STINKIN AWESOME!!!!

This game is alot of fun if you like RPGs. The touch screen part is really cool. The game is kinda hard though. Like on the boss levels it took me about, I'm not exagerating this, 30 tries to beat it. But other than the difficulty level this game is really awesome. GET IT!!!!

Fun and challenging

Lost magic is the first game that I've gotten for the DS that I've actually liked. A lot of the other games are just boring, too easy, or too short, but Lost Magic is both interesting and deep. The storyline isnt that great so far, but the gameplay is really good. The only drawback is that micromanagement is kind of tricky since your characters don't path around obstacles. The spell system is unique and has a lot of depth to it, which is a definite plus. Overall, I'd recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the RPG/RTS genre of gaming.

VERY REPETATIVE

I got this game, and It's a lot of fun!!! You get to be Isaac, a young boy who was seperated from his parents, and now has to save the world from evil forces. Their were only a few problems I saw with it.

1 This game is very repetative. You do the same spells over, and over, and over again. Eventually you won't even have to look at the touch screen to dnow what spell to cast.

2. Sometimes the game thinks that I lift the stilus off the touch screen when I don't and that usually gets me killed.

3. In this game their are time limits for as to how long you have to complete the mission. THEY"RE REDICULOUSE!!! They expect you to beat an extremely hard boss, who heals himself everytime you think you've killed him, and they expect you to do that in under 10 minutes. It just doesn't work.

So if your in to games that are EXTREMELY repetative, a little bit of a challenge, and really fast pace, this game is for you!!!

kinda similar

This game looks really fun. I don't have it personaly but I've seen the screen plays online, and it looks really good! But it reminds me of the Harry Poter games for the computer for instance. When you want to learn a spell you have to draw a certain shape on the touch screen. And the grphics are kinda bad, and it is kinda like Scurge: Hive. It seems pretty much the same, where you just go around and kill things. Besides these facts it seems like a relly cool game.

A Great challenging Game

This games was very different its a mix of RPG RTS and pokemon.
The controls with the pen were a bit hard at first but became
kind of fun, the story is predictable and sterio type. Over all
a 3/5.

Its good on how you look at it

This game is mostly drawing spells. Which can be fun at some times. Graphics basic 2d bout not the really bad 2d. You may think "Wow over 350 spells" well it is true but some are just upgrades rather then completly now ones. The Wifi is the best part. (screen name cheesepuff) You also get some cool monsters but half are just different element of the same monster or a repaint of it. But its cool. Its challeng and fun. A nice rpg that brings out the ds's main feature the touch screen. Also you can send a demo to another person. Id suggest renting or getting a demo first because this game gets mixed reviews. Overall is preety good. (wonder if theres going to be a lost magic 2)

I liked the idea of drawing spells to cast them, and it really is pretty neat, but it takes so much time to cast spells that I sometimes have trouble keeping up with the action happening around me. The AI in this game is pretty non-existant. If you tell your units to run around a corner they just get stuck on the corner and don't move anymore. So I guess almost no pathing or AI.

There is like 300 spells i think in the game. Which sounds cool, but most are just variations of each other, and half of them are pointless. Like cure poisen, i can't really tell when a friendly unit is poisned much less draw 2 runes back to back just to cure it, especially when the poisen barely hurts the unit and goes away fairly fast.

Most of that sounds bad, but for some reason i keep playing the game! haha. I guess I like the rpg part, where you and your captured creatures grow in level. I usually still beat games that i don't love just so i can get my moneys worth. ;)

Oh ya, and another thing... When you spend all this time to train your units to become strong, you might not realize you can go back to the place where you got the units and capture them again and they are almost or just as high level as the ones you have been leveling.. *sigh*

Sorry this was sort of a negitave post. Like i said, i'm still playing it and i do enjoy it. Just wish it was better.
