CLAMP's manga about three schoolgirls summoned to the land of Cephiro became a Saturn action RPG in Japan in 1995, but English-speaking players waited until 1998, when Working Designs finally released it as the last Saturn game the company localized. The long delay, caused largely by the work of dubbing and translating, made it one of the console's final North American releases.
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu travel together, and players can swap between them at any moment. Hikaru uses fire magic and a strong sword, Umi is quick with her blade and casts water spells, and Fuu fights with a bow and wind magic, including healing. Puzzles and enemies are built around that rotation, so certain obstacles need a specific girl's skill. The presentation leans on colorful sprite work and animated cutscenes with voice acting, and the story follows the source closely.
Tips for Magic Knight Rayearth
Keep Fuu in reserve for healing, since her recovery magic stretches supplies through dungeons.
Switch to Umi when quick strikes are needed and to Hikaru when an enemy has a lot of health.
When a passage seems blocked, try each girl's magic before searching elsewhere.
