Development and release

Reception

Incantation received average reviews. [4] [5] [6] [8] Electronic Gaming Monthly highlighted the colorful graphics, but deemed the game suitable for young children due to it being too easy. [11] GamePro 's Captain Squideo wrote that "The sound effects and weak music add little, and the graphics are cartoony. We need new 16-bit titles, but Incantation isn't one you'll remember long". [12]
