Is Wizards & Warriors still worth playing in 2026?

An action RPG from Rare, Wizards & Warriors sends the knight Kuros through medieval dungeons and forests to defeat the wizard Malkil, in an exploration platformer punctuated by treasures to find and powers to acquire. The open structure, the heroic fantasy mood and the hunt for secrets bring a distinctive charm, backed by Rare's polished production. The floaty handling needs a moment to adjust. For a fan of retro action adventure or someone curious about early Rare craft, the title keeps a sincere cachet and exploration pleasure.
