Also, I would have liked to see a streamlining of some spell branches, or perhaps a better balance of spells. This was somewhat of a disappointment considering how large some of the fan-based additions have been. I would've liked to see a larger area in which to explore and find out more about the races of Aranna. You'll certainly enjoy the thematic mood of the game, whether it be eerie, ghostly themes or a martial march. The audio is also excellent just like the original.

Control is still point-and-click, but improved command control makes for an easier, more intuitive gaming experience. Graphics are fantastic as always, and the continuous, real-time world is even better realized than the original. New spells include added summoning, projectile, and action spells sorely missed in the original title, including invisibility, teleportation/disintegration of enemies, elemental orbs and the interesting 'glyph'? spell sets. One of these is stackable armor and weapon 'sets'?, which increase in power as you add pieces to your collection. Sporting new races, weapons, items, and spells, LoA has also added some nice new features sure to inspire almost all of the Dungeon Siegers out there.

Now the fate of the Utraeans, as well as many other peoples, is held in your capable hands. However, the Shadowjumper hadn't considered that a hero might rise up to defend all of the races of this ancient continent. When the Shadowjumper broke free of its prison and stole the fabled Staff of Stars, it spelled certain extinction to the remainer of the Utraeans, one of the fabled elder races of Aranna.
