If you can imagine taking the top-down, vertically scrolling shooter, Commando, and replacing protagonist soldier, Super Joe, with a giggling schoolboy on an implausible pilgrimage to become the supreme magician, you may well have attended the same board room meeting at Infogrames that led to the development of 'Mystical'. Replace the marauding waves of Nazi foes with bizarre monsters, monks and Ents, and Super Joe's assault rifle and grenades with lightning bolts and occult spells, and you'd be halfway towards floating down a dragon-infested swamp on a pentagram-shaped raft in search of Moses. Who will be waiting to greet you with a sack of weaponised cherubs.Our goal, embodying the wizard-wannabe is to recover all the accidentally scattered phials/scrolls and return them to the grandmaster magician's temple. What remains of them anyway, given that they serve as a substitute for live ammunition.
