Wizards & Warriors is an action-platformer developed by Rare and released for the NES. You play as Kuros, a knight venturing through the kingdom of Elrond to defeat the evil wizard Malkil and rescue captured damsels. The game stands out for its sprawling, vertical levels, light RPG item mechanics, and an iconic soundtrack by David Wise.
How to Play
Explore the treacherous environments to collect gems, find colored keys, and discover magical items needed to progress through locked doors and defeat bosses. Use the Arrow Keys to move and climb. Press Z and X to jump and attack with your sword, and press Enter to open your inventory.
Tips
- Items like the Boots of Force and Potion of Levitation are essential for progress; search thoroughly before leaving an area.
- You can collect extra gems by defeating regenerating enemies in safe spots, which is necessary to bribe the knights blocking your path.
- Kuros attacks by extending his sword. Time your jumps and falls so that the blade collides with enemies to damage them.
