Mechanics

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a side-scroller. During the game we travel through linked locations forming the labyrinth, solve occasional environmental puzzles and fight with enemies. During dynamic clashes we use a sword to attack enemies in close combat and a bow to eliminate them from a safe distance. As we progress we gain new weapons and some useful power-ups and spells.

In addition, elements play an important role in the game, which we use primarily to attack enemies and defend ourselves. While Salamander, i. e. the fire spirit, provides Deedlit with protection against fire attacks, the opponent launching the latter can only be vulnerable to strikes inflicted with the help of the wind spirit called Sylph, and vice versa. The key to success is learning to switch between elements on the fly, which is especially useful during complex boss battles. In addition, when you deal damage to enemies, the level of each spirit increases, and when you reach the maximum level - the third - the character's life bar automatically regenerates, but be careful, because a targeted enemy attack lowers the level of a particular element. Spirits also allow you to avoid obstacles in the maze; for example, you can use fire to destroy barrels in your way, and you can use a wind spirit to avoid spikes in the ground by flying over them.
