In _Mystic: Duell der Zauberer_ the player takes the role of Tim who suddenly
finds himself in castle Urqhard. Unfortunately his sister Laura got abducted.
Now he has to become a mighty mage to rescue her. To reach this goal he has to
solve linear arranged quests, e.g. finding an an amulet. Most of the quests
are solved in one of two ways: a duel with another mage or by solving logic
puzzles.
Before every duel Tim has to choose the magic spells he wants to use. These
spells are simply activated by pressing the assigned button. With every solved
quest Tim receives money to buy better better equipment and experience points.
With every new level he can improve one of his four abilities and choose more
spells.
During the game he also has to choose between three guilds with different
spell specialization : Transformators (transformation spells), Defendars
(protection spells) or Vocars (attack spells). The camera is fixed behind
Tim’s back and he can be controlled directly. Despite this the action
component is not very distinctive.
