Swords & Sorcery (Lucienne's Quest in the US) is not the only RPG for 3DO, but according to many it's the best. The game is the second RPG for the 3DO platform from Mirco Cabin (after the Guardian War), but, unlike other developers using already created resources, this is a completely different game, with a different engine, characters, rules and plot. For Sega Saturn RPG was released only in Japan under the name of Swords & Sorcery.
On one bright, sunny day, a young man named Ago approached the famous tower of the great magician Kokindo. Guys rarely go on fortune tellers and wizards, this is more of a lot of sex, but this time the case is very serious. The Juninas (wolf people) attacked his village, biting them all. Residents became werewolves and after darkness their appearance changes to a wolf. No famous doctor could cure a terrible curse and now only hope for magic.
What was his surprise and disappointment when, instead of a gray-bearded old man, he turned out to be a 15-year-old distracted little girl, who at times speaks to herself! As it turned out, this is a young pupil of Kokindo named Lucien. At her own will, or at the insistence of the teacher, she persuaded Ago to take her with her.
Traditionally, on this I stop the narrative about the plot of the game, so as not to spoil the intrigue.
The combat system is extremely unusual, since it has strong strategic elements. Fights are conducted on an isometric map. It is possible to move around it, skirting the obstacles, or hiding behind them. You can also hide the weak fighters or strong magicians behind the back of a well-equipped shirt. Arsenal of actions is also diverse - especially striking Lucien - this fragile creation hides under his cap an unimaginable size of a mighty sorceress with tons of spells! Moreover, in some spells you can choose the power for optimal mana consumption. Ago is especially strong in the shape of a wolf, so, it's better to appear here at night. Other heroes also have their own distinctive features.
3D worlds, detailed graphics, various types of review, pleasant music, memorable characters - the game will not leave anyone indifferent. And how I like management - if Lucien rests against a corner, she tries to round it by herself.
Naturally, to the laurels of the unshakable Final Fantasy game Lucienne's Quest does not hold out, it is much easier. That only it is possible to restore health by spreading the tent anywhere on the global map. And Game Over is not the end, but teleportation to the beginning of the dungeon with the preservation of experience from the last attempt, so that any location is passed if not from the first attempt, then with the second for sure. The plot is not very complicated, no secret conspiracies and sharp turns. About 30 locations, 3 maps, 5 main characters (each with its own characteristics), many enemies.

Walkthrough

Talk to everyone you meet. Extra spells can not be bought in the store and you do not know "in time" - they have to be found.
Weapons can be used to destroy obstacles in villages and dungeons. Powerful weapons destroy even the walls. Inside the obstacles are often hidden useful things.
Agio is the strongest in the shape of a wolf.
Miminago, even when there is very little health in it, is still capable of attack. But the enemies will not pursue him in this state.
Kanejung (Kaneyung), after hitting an opponent, is then able to poison him. He also effectively jumps before the beaten opponent.
Once created by the ghost will not disappear, even if its life force has dropped to zero. To revive this dead soul, cast the spell again.
Fly in the fights do not trample down the fly agarics. It is not safe.
The game begins in the tower of Pinakoteik. Luznnpa learns that Junin has turned Ageo into a wolf. While her master Kokindo is absent, Lucincina and Eijo go to the village of Mirado. You need to go through the village Babachop (Babachop). Go out and head north. Go up the stairs to the west and head south, then west. Go up the stairs to the north.

Over the mound, go through the hole guarded by two blue masks. Lucinna will cure the local king, and he will talk about the cowardice of his son Maminaga and help the travelers. Lucinna will persuade Miminaga to join the detachment, equip him with an ax and a club.
From the village, go to the northeast to the Ogre in Chichibore. Penetrate the mountains. The sentries, when they see Miminaga, will let you in.

Lucincina must convince Miminaga to participate in the battle with Ogre.
Battling it, you will find a "blazion", allowing you to destroy the purple barriers on the way to Mirado - and your squad will be automatically transferred to the throne room of Babachop. Once the father allows Muminaga to accompany Lucinna, go out into the hole at the end of the path in the north of the village. In the northern part of the village, talk to the shaman.

Bookcases can be moved back, expanding the passage. Your unit must find a dungeon with the children of Mirando. To release them, you need to kill the Black Warrior (one of the three mortal shadows of the devil from the castle of Feindcycle). Before the fight, before you open the door at the top of the stairs, stock yourself with health and magic.
Then return to Eia's house in the center of the village of Mirado. The owner will tell you about the castle of the Feindcycle. To get to it, you need to cross the ocean.
