LostMagic is an action RPG and real-time strategy hybrid developed by Taito for the Nintendo DS, released in 2006. Set in a fantasy world where seven magical wands hold the fate of the universe in balance, the game casts the player as a young wizard navigating a realm of powerful monsters. Using the DS stylus on the touchscreen, players draw gestures to cast spells and take direct command of monster squads during combat. This stylus-driven input is central to both the spellcasting system and the tactical management of units in battle, blending RPG progression with real-time strategic elements. The Nintendo DS hardware plays an integral role in the experience, with the touchscreen serving as the primary interface for nearly all in-game actions.
