Amy is an Ordinary High-School Student from London with a penchant for Fantasy Literature. One day, while left at home alone, she is surprised by a sound coming from the attic, where she finds a casket with a stone tablet inside that suddenly transports her to a colorful magical landscape populated by faeries, elves, goblins, dwarves, and the rest of the fantastic creatures. She is greeted by a goblin named Rafi, an adventurer extraordinaire, who managed to cross the barrier between his native Zanzarah (where Amy has just landed) and Amy's own Earth. He wasn't driven by scientific interest, though. Zanzarah is in grave peril: Dark Elves roam the landscape, wild faeries attack travelers, contact between settlements is lost due to unnatural obstructions, while the White Druid, who is supposed to protect the lands from evil, is helpless. But the legends also speak of a saviour who will be summoned from Earth to become the greatest Faery Duelist of all times and to Save Both Worlds... for whatever is afflicting one world will inevitably echo in the other.ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal is an Action-Adventure game with Pokémon-style faery training/duelling, Metroidvania and RPG Elements, and a simple plot in the vein of The Longest Journey. It also features beautiful visuals, music, funny pseudo-languages, and surprisingly tactical combat (once you figure out how to shootnote To shoot a spell while controlling a faery, you need to hold down the left mouse button for it to accumulate some charge. Don't hold it for too long, though. It backfires.). The game was developed by the German studio Funatics Development and released by THQ in 2002. They also tried to release an Expansion Pack, ZanZarah: The Lost Village, but it was Cut Short. After languishing in IP limbo for two years following THQ's closure, the publishing rights to the game had been picked up by Daedalic Entertainment, who rereleased it on Steam in August 2015. In 2016, the game's lead designer Andreas Nitsche has published a game studies essay examining its 3D levels and how they facilitate the fantasy of its story and setting.

Phantom Zone: The Faery Duel Arenas are pocket dimensions with increasingly bizarre architectures. While the low-level arenas appear as rather reasonable Ruins for Ruins' Sake, high-level arenas may look like a giant stone corkscrew or a number of random stone slabs just floating in the sea of nothing.

Humans Are Bastards: The White Druid (despite himself being a human) came to believe this after witnessing the Witch Hunts in our world that forced the magical creatures to escape to Zanzarah. He is therefore not thrilled to find that another human has found her way into his realm, but he grudgingly accepts Amy's help in rooting out the Dark Elves. It turns out that he is actually the Big Bad of the game, driven to villainy by his paranoia of humanity.

Ability Required to Proceed: There are several types of obstacles blocking Amy's path. Getting through them requires a fairy of that element and a magic elemental card to boost its powers. Nature fairies can remove thorny bushes. Stone fairies can destroy giant boulders. Air fairies can use swirly air currents to let you walk on air. Fire fairies can protect you from burning alive in underground lava tunnels.

Stupidity Is the Only Option
 ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal (Video Game) / int_40680cf6
comment
Stupidity Is the Only Option: To access the Great Tree where the Elemental Card of Air is kept, you'll have to engage in one of the most loss-making deal chains in video game history: the only path to the Tree is blocked by a tournament entrant who won't budge until you give him a Segbuzz faery — which cannot be found in the wild and must be traded for a Suane, which, at that point, can only be obtained from a miniquest in the Cloud Realm. In other words, you end up trading the most powerful Light faery in the entire game (that does not even exist in the wild), for a level 0 Worgot — a weakling Nature faery. You do get the Segbuzz back after you beat its master in the tournament, but it's still hardly a replacement for Suane.

Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Local dwarves reside mainly in the underground village of Monagham, their language slightly resembles German, and their currency is crystals, rather than coins that the rest of Zanzarah uses. They also dislike magic, preferring to use technology and Magitek, and the dwarf that sells magic spells for your fairies is a blacksmith.

Non-Lethal Bottomless Pits: Bottomless Pits found outside of combat (see above) can be used to abuse the game's Checkpoint system: if you don't want to jump all the way back after completing a jumping puzzle, you can just save your game and leap down into the abyss, only to respawn at the entrance to the location. The only penalty you get for that is that all switches you may have activated there will be reset.

 ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal (Video Game) / int_589e54d3
comment
Charged Attack: Every offensive spell has to be charged for several seconds before you can release it, with the charging speed depending on the spell in question. Longer charge causes more damage and higher chance of critical hits that can inflict various Status Effects. However, charging the spell for too long will cause it to explode in your face, inflicting the same damage and Status Effects on you.

Escape Battle Technique
 ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal (Video Game) / int_65a258f2
comment
Escape Battle Technique: Garlic Atomizer scares away any attacking wild faeries, but you have to acquire it beforehand and it only works in the short time between being attacked and the Fight Woosh. During a faery duel, making your way to the miniature sun at the center of the area allows you to escape random encounters (but not boss battles). In a particular bit of cruelty, the wild faeries can use it, too, if they are losing badly, robbing you of the XP you earned in blood (that is, in faery hit points).

Interface Screw: Several offensive spells have Status Effects that affect the player, such as temporarily inverting the controls, so that pressing the button to move forward will cause the fairy to move backwards and trying to move left will cause it to move right. It's more dangerous than it sounds, because duels take place in a fairly small arena and falling off it into the Bottomless Pits below will kill you.

Guide Dang It!
 ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: With a smidge of Permanently Missable Content, this goes for certain faeries. Several faery lines have easy to find second forms, but hard to find first forms. (And third forms rarely occur in the wild.) Notably hard to find ones are Grem and Beltaur. Grem can only reliably be found in two spawn points, even though Gremor is a common faery. A way to avoid searching for Grem is picking him as starter faery, although you'd have to never let it evolve to Gremor, thereby making it a poor choice of starter. Beltaur is an uncommon find exclusive to the second Dark Cave, while its evolution Mentaur is a regular in both Dark Caves. There are only three stones of evolutionary magic for Nature fearies, two for Fire faeries, and one for Air faeries. Meanwhile, there are two Nature evolutions, two Fire evolutions, and one Air evolution. Using Fire magic to get one particular evolution twice will make the other unobtainable and Nature magic barely gives more leeway. Although unlikely if not impossible to miss, only one Segbuzz and only one Fygaery can be obtained as part of a demanding trade.

Our Pixies Are Different: Pixies are small humanoid creatures with animal-like intellect and an annoying laugh. They are considered pests, and although completely harmless, most residents of Zanzarah are scared witless of them. Early in the game, an aging pixie hunter tells Amy that about 30 of them escaped captivity recently and tasks her with re-apprehending them for a bunch of rewards.

Action-Adventure: The Fairy Duels are action similar to First-Person Shooter, where you control your fairies in combat. Amy's quest apart from that is a simple adventure that requires walking around, talking to people, and searching for various objects. Both modes are furthermore sprinkled with Collectible Card Game mechanics in that Amy collects fairies in the overworld to fight for her in the Duels.

Mana Meter: Mana is required to cast spells, but interestingly enough, the mana meter is attached to the spell itself, not to the fairy who casts it. So if you, for example, take a spell that has 3 uses left from one fairy and put it on a different fairy, it will still have only 3 uses.

Self-Damaging Attack Backfire: If you let a spell charge up for too long (indicated by the screen starting to flash) without unloading it into the enemy, it hits you instead. While at low levels, your main concern is losing half of your hit points that way, at high levels, spells with nasty side effects are introduced, which also apply to you.

Utility Party Member: For the Elemental Cards to function, you must keep a faery of the corresponding element in your party's first slot, and since you can only swap out faeries in London, you may have to trade off some combat efficiency for the ability to clear environmental obstacles. This is particularly egregious in the case of Air faeries, which are needed every time you need to leap over some air eddies (unlike the boulders and prickly bushes, which disappear for good once a Stone or Nature faery works its magic on them), and Fire faeries, whom you have to keep in your primary slot at all times while exploring the magma caves.

comment
A Light in the Distance: The swamp is an incomprehensible labyrinth of small islands sitting in mud, and the whole thing is covered with thick fog. However, there are always small lights in the distance and when one disappears, another always appears if you don't move much. To reach your quest objective, you must follow all of them.

Hu Mons: Most faeries of the Nature, Air, and Light elements look basically human except for being tiny and sporting wings. This is in contrast to the fish-like Water faeries, ursine Ice faeriesnote although one Ice faery, Glacess, is a regal winged lady, monstrous Chaos faeries, etc.

Real Life: By contrast to the colorful world of Zanzarah, Amy's apartment in London is Deliberately Monochrome, although the faeries (all captured faeries that are not on her primary strike team hang out in London) color it up a little. Given that London is completely irrelevant to the game's plot, you probably won't be using the Rune of Return a lot (except to change the faeries in your party).

Mechanically Unusual Class: The Metal faeries don't evolve at certain levels like most others do, but instead require Dwarven Tools to upgrade to the next higher evolution level. On the flip side, it means that once you find said tools, you can immediately upgrade a lowest-tier Metal faery to the highest-tier one without having to Level Grind it first.

Death of a Thousand Cuts: Fielding a faery that has an elemental advantage against your current opponent usually means you are safe from defeat... unless the enemy faery has a lot of HP and uses a spell that charges much faster than yours, in which case it can kill you faster with its weak but fast jabs than you can inflict enough damage to it. That the enemy faeries never run out of mana helps.

comment
Taking You with Me: One of the best ways to deal with multiple attacking Nature faeries is to field your Psi Stone Wall with lots of hit points and a full damage reflection spell. The Psi are weak against Nature, so he gets killed pretty quickly... but since he has massive health and Nature faeries usually don't, he takes two-to-four of them with him via damage reflection. He doesn't get XP (unless you are agile enough to withdraw him just in the nick of time) but hey, it's a cruel world.

Bottomless Pits: Falling off a Faery Duel arena results in the involved faery's instant death. Also, falling off a cliff is one of the few ways to kill Amy herself (apart from sinking into the swamp and roasting her alive). However, as long as there is a bottom, Amy doesn't take any visible damage from falling down ridiculous heights.

Swamps Are Evil: The Great Swamp around Dunmore is a rather grim and difficult area for one of the early stages of the game. The area is extremely convoluted and covered in fog, making it easy to get lost. You have to jump between small narrow islands to move across it, and taking more than a single step into the water will cause Amy to drown in quicksand. There are also several enemy Shadow Elves that you have to defeat, and the swamp contains an entrance to their home Shadow realm. Still, the native swamp goblins are pretty nice people.

RPG Elements: All faeries gain XP and level up through combat, can be equipped with increasingly powerful offensive/defensive spells, lose and gain mana/HP. There is also something like a Player Party: namely, Amy's five chosen faeries that follow her into battles (although only one can be fielded and directly controlled by the player at any time). For a cherry tapping, you can give your favorite faeries unique names.

Summon Everyman Hero: Amy is lured into Zanzarah by Rafi, who believes that she's a prophesied hero who can save the world. He hides a transportation rune in Amy's home, and when she touches it, the rune transports her to Zanzarah.

Cast From Stamina
 ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal (Video Game) / int_f020c621
comment
Cast from Stamina: Inverted. Fairies use mana to cast spells and stamina to fly. However, there are some passive spells that allow you to fly at the cost of mana if your stamina runs out.

Starter Mon: Before you leave Endeva, you must choose one of three starter fairies offered to you by Rufus: Sillia, an all-rounder Nature fairy with a good evolution path; Grem, a tanky Stone fairy; or Tadana, a wonky Water fairy.

Situational Damage Attack: Offensive spells deal more damage the longer you charge them. There is also a number of spells that deal additional damage on critical hit (either a fixed amount or a percentage of the basic damage).

Encounter Bait: Ocean Conch, which you get fairly early in the game, can summon wild water fairies. Fairy Horn can lure out any type of wild fairy, but it's well-hidden and you can only get it very late in the game.
