History VideoGame / TheWheelOfTime

After over 22 years of being unavailable digitally, the game was [[https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_wheel_of_time rereleased]] on Website/GOGDotCom in 2022 with the aid of Creator/NightdiveStudios.

* IntangibleMan: One of the spells allows Elayna to walk through walls.

* RocketJump: When timed correctly, Elayna can use Balefire to propel herself vertically.

* SuperPoweredMooks: Black Ajah can cast many of the same spells your character uses, and can take a lot more damage than you can, making them challenging opponents.

* SkippableBoss: [[TheDragon Ishamael]], the leader of the Forsaken, is the one boss in the game you don't have to fight if you don't want to. You can just grab his piece of the MacGuffin and quickly run away from him back to the exit portal. This is quite helpful as he's likely [[{{Superboss}} the most difficult and powerful boss]] in the game.

* WeakButSkilled: Elayna's connection to the ''saidar'' is weak, to the point she can't use channeling to fight. However, she's quite experienced at wielding Ter'angreals as weapons.

* SkippableBoss: Ishmael, the leader of the Forsaken, is the one boss in the game you don't have to fight if you don't want to. You can just grab his piece of the MacGuffin and quickly run away from him back to the exit portal. This is quite helpful as he's likely the most difficult and powerful boss in the game.

* KnightTemplar: The Children of the Light have this attitude towards everyone else.

* MirrorBoss: All of the game's major bosses are spellcasters; they move and fight similar to the player character, and behave more like multiplayer bots than standard enemies. Elayna's reflection is a ''literal'' mirror boss.

A 1999 video game based on [[Literature/TheWheelOfTime the popular series of high fantasy novels]] and developed by Creator/LegendEntertainment, who had previously developed ''VideoGame/{{Unreal}}'''s ''Return to Na Pali'' expansion pack and would go on to develop ''VideoGame/UnrealIITheAwakening''. Instead of attempting to adapt the books into game form, the game instead tells an original story set in the ''Wheel of Time'' universe, taking place a few centuries before the events of the books. The story follows the adventures of Elayna Sedai, an Aes Sedai librarian whose journeys bring her into conflict with the force of the Dark, Shadar Logoth, the Whitecloaks, and even Ishamael himself.

* ArtificialBrilliance: For a 1999 game, the AI is quite competent, as the enemies will attempt to dodge Elayna's shots where possible, and use their ranged attacks while relentlessly closing in to melee, where even basic Trollocs will outmatch her. It is also relentless in pursuing her, able to jump from/to higher floors to reach her, and will swim to cross aquatic barriers as well.

Instead of attempting to adapt the books into game form, the game instead tells an original story set in the ''Wheel of Time'' universe, taking place a few centuries before the events of the books.

The game uses the ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'' engine, with gameplay that is extremely similar to that game, including the way enemies move and attack. Elayne cannot channel the One Power, so instead she uses an arsenal of Ter'angreal artifacts that allow her to cast a variety of spells.

* MirrorBoss: All of the game's major bosses are spellcasters; they move and fight similar to the player character, and behave more like multiplayer bots than standard enemies. Elayne's reflection is a ''literal'' mirror boss.
* NamesTheSame: Elayne Sedai is not the same person as [[BadassPrincess Elayne Trakand]], who eventually became an Aes Sedai herself.

* SquishyWizard: Elayne can survive less damage than almost all of the enemies in the game. Making it through the game alive involves being quick on your toes as well as intelligent use of Ter'angreal spells to even the odds.

The game uses the ''{{Unreal}} 1'' engine, with gameplay that is extremely similar to that game, including the way enemies move and attack. Elayne cannot channel the One Power, so instead she uses an arsenal of Ter'angreal artifacts that allow her to cast a variety of spells.
