About
Arabian Magic is a weapons-based beat'em up based on the Arabian Nights mythos. It plays like a mix of Golden Axe and King of Dragons with flying carpet segments thrown in for good measure. Each boss is a genie that can be summoned as a magic attack after being captured.

Arabian Magic is way better than Arabian Fight. Its combat is tight, satisfying, the fighters are distinct, and the movesets are surprisingly large. The aesthetics aren't much to write home about, though. The genie gimmick is pretty cool. Its biggest weakness is the lacking enemy variety.
