Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power

Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power is a platforming adventure game developed for Rare Ltd. in 1992 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game picks up from its predecessor, wherein the spirit of Malkil struck Kuros with a magic spell that removed his armor, memories, and honor. Malkil then goes to the city of Piedup and seizes the throne from Good King James. The player then takes on the role of Kuros, who, after returning to the city after wandering in the wilderness, must build up his strength to once again confront the evil wizard. Gameplay is nonlinear and requires the player to explore the city to find the items and abilities necessary to unlock parts of the city in order to progress.
