Innovative system but gets annoying

User Rating: 6.5 | Lost Magic DS
By Zanthrus | Review Date:
The spellcasting system in this is pretty cool, you have to draw a shape on a star shaped board to select what spell you wish to cast. The strength of the spell is decided by how accuratly you draw this. This is using the touchpad of course. The other part of the game is controling your small army of monster you can have up to nine and different kinds at once. This can be tricky as you may have to keep checking up on minibattles throughout the larger battlefield, but their real job is to protect Ivan.

The game quickly get hard though and you get stuck regularly. The storyline also isn't great and is the usual sort of beat all the 6 bosses then the main boss. Its also only in 2D the whole time
