About this game
Little Magic combines fantasy strategy with direct battles. The unit map handles the broader situation, while the box’s battle scenes show opponents facing one another in a side view. The player’s attention moves between arranging a force and fighting its encounters. Different units can grow as the force develops. This Famicom game belongs to Data East’s strategy design; its central activity is building a fighting force and combining strategic decisions with action.
