The game takes place in the fairytale land of Damiran. The source of magic, Heart of Lore, has broken into 100 pieces. The player is an old wizard, Krugan, who has been tasked to retrieve the pieces that are strewn across the land. The game is a scrolling platform game consisting of six levels. The game features nine different weapons that can be powered-up by potions that are found throughout the levels. Enchanted Land was the first game to use 4-plane multidirectional scrolling in full screen on the Atari ST.[1]
Aktueller Software Markt reviewed the Atari ST version and criticized the overloaded graphics but praised the cutting-edge scrolling effect. It was recommended to try the game before buying. ST Format called the game "extremely addictive" and "an enjoyable, absorbing platform game". called Enchanted Land "a very well made and enjoyable arcade game".
