Dear Magical Girls

이모는 그렇게 자신의 딸을 다시 만난다 어두운 길거리에서 감정이 없는 자신의 딸과 닮은 AI를

I really liked this game! [h2] Gameplay: [/h2] The gameplay (at least on Elite difficulty) was actually challenging to the point where I really had to think about my next move or Arin would get hurt. I've personally never played a tower defense game in this style, but I enjoyed it. [h2] Main Character: [/h2] Speaking of Arin, the writers did a good job at writing her (at least in my opinion). I personally liked her to the point that during gameplay, I was more focused on protecting her than I was on actually winning the battles. [h2] Art: [/h2] The Character Sprites and Background artists did a very good with the art! My personal favorite sprites were Arin's normal and magical girl portraits, Arin's sprite from the main menu, and also the Operator's portrait, particularly the one that's been used in the notices here on Steam (I'm pretty sure that it's in the actual game). [h2] Music: [/h2] The music isn't bad by any means, and I personally enjoyed the music. I was initially writing a slightly more critical review on this, but I decided to listen to some of the music again. I do like the main menu music, and the combat soundtrack feels kinda like Lobotomy Corp. in a way. I will say that the music didn't reach my standards for insanely good music. This is not the music team's fault at all. I believe that Toby Fox, Omocat, the Persona music team, Studio EIM, Mili, and anime in general have given me unrealistic expectations for music. [h2] Story: [/h2] Now, about the story... I thought it was nice! It wasn't quite as deep as I had originally hoped, and it was not anywhere near as dark as I was expecting when I initially heard about it. (For reference, I was expecting something a bit Omori level in terms of "darkness" if you know the game). The story was more simple than I expected, a lot shorter, and it did a little bit of tell instead of show (and not to the point that I was fully satisfied with the answers) about some of the story's main mechanics late into the game, but overall I enjoyed it. [h2] Suggestions: [/h2] If the developers are reading this, i do have a few small suggestions about the game itself. Not big reworks or anything. I personally think that an "Extras Menu" for lack of a better term could be nice. A place where players can rewatch cutscenes, listen to the music, and maybe look at sprites from the main menu could be helpful. As it currently stands, in order to watch post-combat cutscenes, you would need to recomplete the combat. Additionally, I do remember one or two other songs that played at some point, but in order to find them, I would have to basically play through the game again while listening for them. [h2] Final Thoughts: [/h2] Overall, this game is a short and simple but enjoyable experience with a small cast of lovable characters and gameplay that isn't particularly confusing but at the same time requires you to think smart about your next move. I would recommend playing it if you have two to five hours of free time (depending on how well you can adapt to the gameplay). It's definitely a good free pickup. By the way, if the Operator has a name and I missed it or she doesn't have a name yet but the devs give us her name later, may someone please let me know what it is? Thank you for reading!
