Another element that returns are the gnomes. One attack sends a meteor crashing to earth, while the most powerful spell sees a huge flaming dragon rise up, flapping its wings, incinerating any enemies unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity. While you won't be able to use magic with impunity, it can be pretty spectacular when you do. Spells are once again limited by how much mana you have, with certain spells using more mana than others do. So the beasts are one aspect of the original game that SEGA has brought back. It's particularly cool seeing two of these things going head to head, as it's generally a pretty titanic encounter. Perhaps the coolest beast, however, is the Mirigore, an ape-like creature that's so large and so powerful that it can cut a swathe through a crowd of opponents, simply swatting them aside. When this thing is armoured it looks even more intimidating, with twin tusks ready to run helpless warriors through. Another cool beast is the Krommath - a dense, powerful animal that has a slow, but deadly stomp attack, as well as the ability to buck enemies into the air. It's a smallish dragon with a large clubbed tail, which can be used to swipe enemies or knock down doors, as well as flame breath and an arcing fireball attack. (Naturally, its invisibility move can also be used against you.) Next is the Abrax, which is a cross between two of the beasts from the original arcade game. First up is the Lynth, which has huge horns, can move quite fast, and has the ability to turn invisible - sapping a little of its health in the process, giving the player the chance to get the jump on enemies. There are actually five different beast types in the game - each of which come in armoured and non-armoured varieties, and today we checked out four of them. You're able to summon beasts at certain places, knock enemies off beasts so you can ride them, and in turn find your own beast being stolen. For one, Beast Rider (as the title so subtly suggests) very much keeps the beast dynamic from previous games.
