Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros – Visions of Power is an action-adventure platformer for the NES where you guide Kuros through the sprawling, open-ended city of Piedup. Expanding on the series’ formula, the game allows Kuros to take on three distinct formsโa Knight, a Thief, and a Wizardโeach with unique abilities necessary to navigate the city, uncover secrets, and ultimately defeat the evil wizard Malkil.
Your objective is to explore the city, find the guilds to unlock your different forms, and gather the resources needed to reach the top of the castle. Use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump, X to attack or use your current form’s ability, Enter for Start, and Shift for Select. Since the game famously lacks a save or password system, you will need to map out your route carefully in a single sitting.
Tips
- Master the Guilds: Prioritize unlocking the Thief form early, as its improved jumping and lockpicking abilities are essential for accessing large parts of the city.
- Save Your Coins: You will need to collect money to bribe guards and access new areas, so avoid spending it all on minor upgrades or taking unnecessary damage.
