Legacy of the Wizard is an action game released in 1989 for the Nintendo NES. Players explore a vast dungeon filled with monsters, traps, and puzzles, aiming to retrieve a powerful artifact to save their family and defeat an evil dragon.
The main objective revolves around navigating interconnected chambers, collecting items, and unlocking new areas through character switching. The game’s pace is methodical, encouraging exploration and strategic planning rather than fast-paced combat. A unique mechanic allows players to control seven family members, each with distinct abilities, which are essential for overcoming specific challenges within the dungeon.
An unusual idea in Legacy of the Wizard is the non-linear progression, letting players choose their own path through the labyrinth. The game’s distinctive feature is its combination of action gameplay with RPG elements, such as inventory management and character switching, creating a layered experience on the NES platform.
