One of my favourite action games of all time is original Magic Carpet. I've been waiting many years now for someone to get the idea to remake it with modern graphics (and leaving all other things intact hopefully).
The game has fairly complex tactical gameplay (for an action game):
- you have to tend to your base - the better it is the more magical abilities you have,
- you have to gather resources - kill monsters and gather mana released by them;
- you have to explore the maps in order to gain new spells and sources of mana;
- you have to tend to baloons that transport mana to your castle - protecting your baloons as well as destroying opponents' is crucial tactic;
- you can make NPCs your allies which raises your mana pool and grants you their help in fights;
- massive numbers of creatures to fight with greatly varying capabilities;
- 25 spells that you actually have to learn to use, sometimes in not obvious ways like using "build/expand castle" offensively;
- FUCKING SPECTACULAR, earth shaking and tearing offensive spells - you cast meteorites, tear valleys through mountains, raise volcanoes etc.
- absolutely HECTIC gameplay while you are still perfectly in control;
- great atmosphere of arabic legends, super good sound and music.
- you fly on a fucking magic carpet and cast great balls of fire and thunder.
I would love to see this game redone with GRAPHIKZ.
