Little Magic

Not to be confused with Altron's puzzle game of the same name , Data East's Little Magic is a turn-based tactical game with some fighting game elements.

At the main menu, you are presented with three choices: The Wizard's Conspiracy : The game's story campaign.

War Mode : One skirmish match for singleplayer or two-player multiplayer.

Battle Mode : One match of the same 1v1 combat system used in tactical gameplay when two units fight each other.

Also available for two-player multiplayer.

In the story campaign, you always start each stage with the Sun Prince as your first unit.

The win condition in each stage is to achieve one of two objectives: capture the opponent's castle or defeat the opponent's leader unit.

The Sun Prince is your leader in the Wizard's Conspiracy campaign.

To deploy more units, you first need to hire them at your castle and deploy them one turn after the hiring.

Units can move and attack in the same turn, but magic casters are exceptions, they must choose between casting spell and moving in their turns.

Other than the enemy castle, other locations can also be captured by moving your units over them.

Captured towns restore a unit's HP, captured churches restore a unit's HP and MP, captured hexagram circles restore a unit's MP and also enable the owning players to select said circles as extra unit deployment locations aside from their own castle.

The game also has naval combat, where ships are both transporters of ground units and combat units on their own terms.

Ships have uniform 200 HP and six cannon shots and are repaired and resupplied with ammunition at captured do
