MAGICAL×SPIRAL

MagicalXSpiral's a pretty cute game. It plays very smoothly and the stages are made pretty well. Despite each stage basically being a spiral staircase, there's enough variety to it to make each stage feel a bit unique. The characters are cute and fun. A tad cliche, but I found some charm in that. There's a few different story routes unlocked as you finish the game multiple times, with different dialogue each time, which I thought was pretty cool. The only major con I would say the game has is that the bosses are a bit underwhelming. They mostly feel like normal enemies with more HP. Still though, this is a pretty cool game and worth playing.

+ easy story + pretty much easy (until [spoiler]True Route[/spoiler] + good artstyle + cute art (Salamander so kawaii :D) + easy gameplay + colorfull - graphics are kinda blurry - [spoiler]the end of true route, the last boss is pretty much hidden[/spoiler] - some kinda repetitive [spoiler] to get all story parts you must play 4. times[/spoiler] Game was kinda ok. Nothing to good nothign too bad. But is good as a Doujin Game. 70/100! 13/10 Salamander was so cute :D

MAGICALxSPIRAL is a short platformer with JRPG elements that attempts to capture the nostalgia of the first PlayStation era. While it showcases solid voice acting, artistic direction, character design, and a captivating soundtrack, it falls short in several areas, ultimately making it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend. The game follows a unique concept, requiring players to complete it four times to fully experience the story. Each run offers slight variations in cutscenes, levels, and available spells, adding some replayability. The stages consist of ascending spiral towers, and players collect coins to purchase items, learn new spells, or increase stats. However, this promising idea is hindered by various drawbacks. One of the major issues lies in the enemy AI, which is incredibly lackluster. The level design would have been enjoyable if not for the terrible enemy AI that detracts from the overall experience. It becomes frustrating to navigate through the stages when enemies pose little challenge or act illogically. Boss battles are very bad too. Furthermore, the brevity of the game combined with an inefficient spell-learning system leaves much to be desired. With only ten levels and five bosses per run, MAGICALxSPIRAL feels disappointingly short. In the span of four playthroughs, I managed to learn just two out of approximately thirty available spells. The overwhelming number of spells coupled with the limited gameplay time makes it useless and nearly impossible to experience them all. To learn new spells, players must accumulate a significant amount of coins, resulting in tedious farming and replaying of stages. Although the graphics pay homage to the first PlayStation era, invoking a sense of nostalgia, they may not resonate with all players. The retro aesthetic has its charm, but it might not appeal to those seeking more modern visuals. In conclusion, while MAGICALxSPIRAL showcases strong elements such as voice acting, artistic direction, character design, and music, it is marred by subpar enemy AI, brevity, and an impractical spell-learning system. The game's potential falls short of its ambitions, making it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend. If you are a fan of nostalgic aesthetics and don't mind the shortcomings, you might find some enjoyment in MAGICALxSPIRAL, but for most players, it's best to approach this title with caution.

Re entretenido, un plataformero de aquellos que podrías encontrarte en Play 2. Tiene una dinámica muy peculiar, todo el tiempo la pantalla esta "curva", y siempre tienes que subir por una torre. No te va a enloquecer ni volverte fanático éste juego, pero está bueno, entretenido para jugadores casuales que no buscan un reto extremo ni juegos largos con muchas opciones.

If I had to describe Magical x Spiral in a single word, it would have to be "Charming." You start off playing as Medianne Phirti, a sweet girl who yearns to be a part of a magical world. Even if it's a childish goal, it's her heart's wish all the same. In pursuit of that dream, she finds: the Tower, an ancient proving ground to determine who is worthy to enter the magical land of Celestria; and Salamander, an adorable magical being who teaches her the beginnings of magic. Together, they face the Tower's trials, add other magical beings to the party, and gradually discover the truth behind why Celestria separated from the mundane world so long ago... Charming. The characters are lovable and the story is classic. Fully voiced in Japanese, and decently translated into English. Nearly every input you make will have a corresponding response from your character. It's gameplay is rather straightforward. Climb the 2.5D spiraling tower. Fight or avoid the enemies in your way. I especially like to find ways to chain spells to rocket around the tower super fast. (Your character's face on the HUD will change expressions based on what your doing or what they're saying. It's a very simple detail, but it's just too cute.) The animations are a little wonky, but honestly that just makes it even more charming to me. This game didn't screw with my brain, yank the rug out from under me with groundbreaking twists in the narrative, or depress me with a nihilistic world of living death. 10/10 I absolutely recommend this game.

J'ai finis le jeu et je me suis bien éclaté, j'ai juste passé les dialogues car pas doué en anglais, graphiquement un peu daté mais pas vraiment important vu le fun que procure Magical X spiral

하나의 엔딩 보는데 30분이면 충분합니다만....처음에 일반 엔딩-그 다음 플레이시는 진엔딩.. 이런 식으로 구성되어 있어서 계속 플레이하게 됩니다.

I had a feeling i wouldnt like this because of the vertical tower aspect making me sick. After a short while it does start to give me a headache. Aside from that though, its basically 4 or 5 levels in all. And you have to do 2 playthroughs with 2 characters, so 4 total playthroughs. The enemies are brain dead and the bosses on the higher levels are way more spongy and either sit there for a few seconds or go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy.
