In Magic Research, you are the headmaster of a newly-created institution of Magic with one goal: to learn as much as possible about this power and get enough fame to be able to compete, and win, the prestigious competition of schools: the Tournament of Magic. But what will you discover along the way? * Cast over a hundred different spells with various effects * Research magic in various magical schools to discover new, surprising ways to use this power * Accumulate resources and build the school campus * Manage a team of researchers and apprentices to lead your school to fame * Discover tons of hidden new features - when will you unlock the next one? * Find over eight dozen secret storylines with permanent, game-altering effects * Restart the game and make faster progress each time with retirement bonuses * Optimized both for iPhone and iPad * No ads! This is the full, complete game. You can transfer save data from the demo by using the Export / Import Save feature available in both the demo and in the full game.

Fun text game
03/08/2023

Jay730
Very much like orb of creation (and countless others) but has more depth than the genre usually sees. It's also much less grindy, at least in the beginning. The one downside is at a certain point the game becomes an auto battler, which is fine, except you need to auto battle for 10+ hours straight. It's not very interesting to watch. You will hit a ceiling on the building stuff frequently and have to battle to resolve that issue. I wish there was more story pop ups during this time and more unique ones to boot. My only other gripe is some of the spell balancing is off. Certain higher tier spells make no sense to use as the efficiency is greatly reduced.I am thoroughly enjoying this game though and feel it has been well with the cost already

The Best Active Play Idle Game

I just completed the main game (have not 100% it yet) and have spent over 56 hours actively playing. This game is an amazing incremental which holds your attention through. It requires active play, but gives you “time pieces” as you are idle, which allows you to speed up gameplay, or do time warps. This allows you to constantly feel like you are actively playing, while allowing you to speed through some grinding parts. Highly recommend the game, easily one of my top 3 mobile games ever. Now onto the second game!

I Love This Game But Have Two Problems

I’m glad I bought the game. Even with the two problems I’ve had it’s worth the money. The first one was mentioned by someone else, text running off the page so I had to quit the game and come back as I couldn’t get to the buttons. I figured out that I had to lower the size of my text on the entire phone to fix this. It’s a hassle but if I hold it very close then put the text back up when I finish playing I’m okay.The second is that I’ve had to retire twice because my wood started counting back instead of forward so I couldn’t keep hold of any wood. I’m still trying to figure out what triggers that, and if anything makes me stop playing it will be that. It’s too bad because it’s a fun game otherwise.

Hello, Thanks for the feedback!Regarding the wood counting back, it is most likely being caused by Furnaces, which consume wood. To reduce this consumption, you can turn off the Furnaces by expanding them from the Campus screen.If this doesn't solve the problem, I'm happy to provide more support - please reach out to magic.research.game@gmail.com. Thank you!

Great Game, Poor Execution on iPad Pro

First, the good: this is a great, deep, and detailed game. Have been playing for 2 weeks, retired once, and only just scratching the surface.The bad: the UI layout is awful and really affects the gameplay, especially for a grind-type of game. Here’s a few examples:1. The right hand side panel with “Magic Research” at the top contains the main options, sometimes the time speed up section, your resources, your experience, your stats, and your buffs - it’s super annoying to have constantly scroll up and down this long list to find what you need.2. When in Exploration / Combat, the Items tab shows a cut-off view of the inventory with a huge blank space below, when it could clearly show all of the inventory.3. In the Cast Spells panel, you can add spells to the top in Favorites. However, that panel can only be scrolled up and down when clicking on the “By Schools” section at the bottom. If the Favorites section becomes too large, it’s annoying to locate the small section of “By School” just to scroll the panel4. The Event panel is largely useless and takes up way too much space that could be used by the other panels.It’s a shame that such a great game engine is let down by a poor UI layout.

Fix save compatibility. Will now accept saves from older versions of the game.
