Incantation

You play as a young wizard apprentice in the side-scrolling platformer Incantation. Explore enchanted lands and defeat monsters using different magic spells you collect along the way, including fireballs, bombs, and homing missiles that can be combined for unique attacks. Traverse platforms, avoid enemies, and solve puzzles in nine levels while collecting items like golden feathers or three stalks of wheat to proceed past goblin tollkeepers to reach the final boss and defeat the evil wizard. The cartoonish graphics feature a well-animated protagonist with an attitude, colorful medieval environments, and tight controls for precise jumping and spell-casting. What makes it stand out is its whimsical magic-themed combat and open-level exploration in the Euro-style platformer genre, though it is repetitive and simple compared to bigger SNES titles. Single-player mode with checkpoints and boss encounters keep the pace fun and accessible.
