About Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros - Visions of Power

Wizards & Warriors III - Kuros - Visions of Power continues the conflict between the hero Kuros and the wizard Malkil. Following their previous encounter, Malkil has seized control of a castle kingdom, necessitating Kuros's intervention to free its inhabitants and confront the wizard again.

Gameplay involves navigating a large vertical castle environment filled with monsters. Kuros undertakes various objectives, including collecting money, purchasing items, and rescuing captured princesses, while also seeking special jewels. The player can switch between three distinct character classes: knight, thief, and wizard. Each class offers different balances of speed, offensive power, and defensive capability.

Advancement in a class requires visiting its corresponding guild and completing challenging obstacle courses to increase that class's level. Kuros retains quick and nimble movement from earlier series entries, and players have direct control over his sword swings during combat.
