Wizards & Warriors
''Wizards & Warriors'' is a platforming video game developed by UK-based company Rare Ltd. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was published by Acclaim and released in North America in December 1987 and in Europe on January 7, 1990. It was also released in Japan by Jaleco on July 15, 1988, under the title . In the game, players control Kuros, the "Knight Warrior of the ''Books of Excalibur''", as he sets out in the Kingdom of Elrond to defeat the evil wizard Malkil, who holds the princess captive in Castle IronSpire, located deep within Elrond's forests. During the game, players make their way through forests, tunnels, and caves, battling hordes of enemies and collecting treasure, magical items, and additional weaponry to get past the obstacles and hazards that lie in their path. It was Rare's second game released for the NES, after ''Slalom''.
''Wizards & Warriors'' was featured in early video gaming magazines such as ''Nintendo Fun Club News'', ''Nintendo Power'', and ''VideoGames & Computer Entertainment'' in 1988 and 1989. The main characters Kuros and Malkil would make appearances in the animated series ''The Power Team'' (part of the TV video game reviewing show ''Video Power'') and ''Captain N: The Game Master''. The game would also be novelized for the ''Worlds of Power'' series of NES game adaptations, created by Seth Godin. It received general praise for its graphics, sound, difficulty, and arcade-style gameplay. Criticisms include the presence of unlimited continues, which allow players to restart the game right where they previously left off while retaining all items that were collected before. ''Retro Gamer'' called ''Wizards & Warriors'' "a unique experience for NES gamers in 1987, and technically well ahead of other games for the console at the time".〔 The game also spawned three sequels: ''Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II'', ''Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power'' and ''Wizards & Warriors X: The Fortress of Fear''.
==Plot==
''Wizards & Warriors'' pits the story's hero Kuros, the "Knight Warrior of the ''Books of Excalibur''",〔 against the main antagonist, the evil wizard Malkil. He was considered one of the greatest wizards in the land, such that Merlin was one of his students. However, the aging Malkil has gone mad and has started using his magic for evil. As a result, Malkil has captured the princess and holds her prisoner in Castle IronSpire, deep within the forests of Elrond. The game's protagonist, the brave knight Kuros, is summoned to venture through the forests of Elrond. He is armed with the legendary Brightsword, a sword that is powerful enough to beat demons, insects, undead, and the other creatures which have fallen under Malkil's spell.〔Instruction Manual, p. 2.〕 With the sword, he ventures out through the forests of Elrond and the various caves and underground tunnels and to Castle IronSpire, where he must defeat Malkil and rescue the princess.〔Instruction Manual, p. 5.〕
