Madoka Magica Magia Exedra 12+

This game is PACKED, and isn’t a cash grab like most games, there’s no many ways to get items and characters, and grinding is actually super fun and can get addicting! I found myself saying “just one more game” and playing for hours. I preordered the game and have been waiting for over a year, and it was so worth the wait! The animations are so pretty, and voice acting is amazing! If you love Madoka magica or just want a new game to play I recommend it! It tells the whole story for people that need a refresher or just don’t wanna watch the anime. I felt like I was watching Madoka magica again for the first time, and since the movie comes out this year, this is a great and entertaining way to refresh your memory. I usually don’t like phone games bc they have so much fluff, especially gacha, but this one grabbed my attention and as a huge Madoka Magica fan I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype I’ve seen in ads, but it definitely does and more!!!

I really wanted to love this game, but the repetitiveness gets to you quick. Each level feels the same, and there’s no gimmicks to make you want to do actually play the game. Many turn-based games have a bit of an over world and/or unique puzzles to solve. This game has neither, which makes it easy to not want to go into a level. Not to mention, half of the time I cannot load into the game. Whenever I am able to load in, there’s so many minuscule loading screens that take minutes to load. Finally, the pity system is terrible. You have to pull 20 times (60,000 gems) to be garunteed a character on the banner. That’s very unrealistic for many players, even for whales that’s a bit much. With how quickly banners are coming and going (from what we’ve seen so far) the precedent isn’t very good. Overall, the games needs to be more interactive so players don’t get tired of the same thing over and over again. Adding one special thing in the background that gives 100 gems is not enough, in my opinion. Not to mention, fixing the pity system to be more realistic would be amazing. Especially for unlucky players.

I love this game so much however I can only rate it one star for some issues. The game is super fun and enjoyable if you love the Madoka Magica Puella and Magia Record series HOWEVER the gacha rates aren't great... If you want to get your favorite character then good luck, the game uses a spark system meaning they don't have a pity system or any garuntee that your next five star you will pull will be the one the banner is advertising. In order to garuntee you get the character you want is by saving enough in-game currency to "spark" the character that you want (which is about 600k gems...) The gacha system is a pain unless you're extremely lucky. Additionally, grinding for you kikou (characters) is a bit limiting as there is a daily limit you get to grind. There are still events, main story levels, and other achievements that will provide you these mats but usually they aren't enough if you're trying to max out a character. Other than those two issues, I personally enjoy this game so much and I truly recommend this to people who also enjoy Madoka Magica :D
