How to Play Little Magic
Quick start
If you want to start with Start and proceed with the story, select "Mage's Conspiracy". On the first map, press B to open the menu and select "Recruitment" to hire fire, water, and wind warriors. Since you cannot move immediately after hiring them, you will have to use your own castles or secured magic circles to dispatch them from the next turn. Don't advance with all your troops while leaving the castle empty, but move forward while protecting the villages and sortie bases that can be recovered. In battle, combine A's jump and B's attack, and practice matching your attack to your opponent's landing. Be careful not to kill the prince in battle, fall to your own castle, or exceed the turn limit, and aim to capture the enemy castle by defeating its garrison.
Controls
D-pad: Move/select on the map. A: Decide, jump in battle. B: Cancel, call map menu, attack in battle. Left and right in battle: move, down: crouch. While crouching press B for a low attack, while jumping press B for an air attack. There are also some types of soldiers that can perform special attacks while jumping. Start: Start the game. During battle, the prince can release magic by holding down and then pressing B. The techniques that can be used differ depending on the type of weapon.
Little Magic — About this game
"Little Magic" is a game that combines the simulation of moving an army on a map with action battles seen from the side. Warriors differ not only in their movement ability, but also in the distance of their weapons and their jumping ability, and victory or defeat is not determined by numerical strength alone. Recruit allies with funds and aim for the enemy castle where the garrison is located, while capturing the facilities used for recovery and sorties. In "Mage's Conspiracy", you can carry over the troops and funds you have raised to the next map, so it is important to advance without losing experienced allies. In addition to the battle mode where you choose a map, there is also a battle mode where you can enjoy just combat.
