Madoka Magica Magia Exedra Reviews

Overall, the game has its upsides. Graphics are good, original music is good, the battle system is fun, animations are good, story segments are eh but atleast they're skippable if you don't like them (like myself.) however, the game is EXTREMELY stingy on your gems. If you start playing, don't let the sudden inflation of gems fool you because they will run out just as quick. I fell into this too, thinking i would be fine. however, the rates are god awful. even comparing to other greedy gacha games they are BAD. people will genuinely have to reroll their account at the start to get good enough units for later on so they don't get bricked in late game. not to mention the "pity system" that might aswell not exist, because to get it you need 60k gems spent on one banner. to bring that into context, if you're entirely f2p, you need to complete:
- all of the main story
- all of the "battler" mode (the entire main story but reskinned to be slightly harder)
- about 70% of the "nightmare" mode (the entire main story but actually hard and takes begrudgingly long to get through)
overall, game is cool, i love madoka magica but this is genuinely one of the greediest gacha systems ever and it has ruined the game for me.

Autobattler, 5-stars whose 3d models are off-model to actual design, Franchise-inconsistent tacky art-styles (2d), Dialogue is lifted line for line from the anime, Screenshots from said anime being used for specific 'cutscenes', and easily the worst; Child characters in compromising positions and outfits. Genuinely disgusting. They are catering to the degenerate side of the Madoka Magica fandom to bleed them dry for their cash, and aren't even trying to hide it. Some aspects of this game have potential; the setup of the story for the gacha and some of the animations are genuinely super cool, but the bad outweighs the good easily. It diminishes any chance to have a semi-enjoyable experience with this 'game'. (Cause rather honestly, I don't think gacha games that are afk battle simulators with the sole purpose to generate massive amounts of money through impulse spending and gambling addictions, can even be counted as games. Let alone this one. At least other gachas have actual interesting stories to navigate or pretty designs to pull, this game quite literally offers nothing original or expansive.) Waited and hyped this game up for over a year and through delay, and got delivered the biggest disappointment to ever disgrace my phone. Disgusting.

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.

The opening animation for this game had me HYPED. Great song and really cool. But it didn’t really deliver…
So yeah Madoka Magica is an amazing story. I would definitely recommend you watch it first because the game has like the entire thing recreated in a less immersive and dynamic way. The music is also really good, and the graphics are very solid. But the gameplay is still just meh, and it seems like the gacha is probably pretty stingy too, although of course 1 day isn’t really enough to say.
Basically it feels like Heaven Burns Red with a different story. Even some of the characters use a similar art style. But the gameplay is just… not interesting. It’s not locked on autoplay or anything but there’s just not much strategy, not much adaptability, not much really.
Also if you’ve only seen PMMM you’ll be surprised by how much fanservice some of the characters from other lesser known parts of the Puella Magi universe have. It’s not like, Azur Lane levels or anything but it’s also not the wholesome non-sexual you’re used to. The 12+ is there for a reason. Idk maybe the event and side stories will be really good or something who knows.

So yeah, not a horrible game by any means but… just watch PMMM. Then find something else to do with your time.

Edit: so I played the first proper boss battle and it was decent. Harder than I expected. Still not a lot of strategy though; just kind of hope your units are strong enough

It feels like progression takes a really long time—lots of things are locked to only a few attempts a day, and there isn’t really a great way to earn gems. I’ve played every day, dong all the daily tasks and quests, but I feel like I only get a chance to a pull maybe once a week. And since the banners go by so fast, they’re usually gone well before I can get the character I want. Other gacha games I’ve played seem to be a lot more generous with giving you pull stems. The battles themselves are great, I just feel like there’s not much reward. Instead of getting stronger for finishing fights, the system feels more like do all the daily quests to get stronger, do battles until you get stuck, wait 5 hours for your energy to refill so you can do more upgrade quests, repeat. Hopefully the gem numbers get boosted in futures updates

I’m currently enjoying this game, especially since I’m a fan of Madoka Magica. I’ve watched the anime and one of the movies, Rebellion. While playing the game, I’ve noticed a character that made me do a double-take and look in complete confusion. The reason for my confusion was this character’s clothing , which I found inappropriate and uncomfortable to look at.

Initially, my impression of the anime was that all the characters were adolescent girls who were minors, approximately 12-16 years old. But I am not starting to question that too. Which is why I was so appalled to see the character Reira Ibuki, who I assumed was just walking around in her underwear as a form of fan service that had gone too far, considering the characters look like children.

I did a bit digging on Reira Ibuki to see where she came from, as I haven’t watched Magica Record yet. I discovered that she originated from her previous games, Magica Story (I think that’s the name). I’m curious about the reason behind this design choice, as it makes me feel uncomfortable. I hope more people bring this to attention because it doesn’t sit right with me.

To clarify, I mean no disrespect in this review. I simply believe that something like this shouldn’t be normalized, and this design choice seems a bit strange to me.

Big fan of the series so it's so nice to have this game. The event and side stories, and the music are of course amazing. Going through the labyrinths are fun too. Was so excited for this game! However, the cost of pulls is ridiculous, especially since the rates are bad, and there is no 50/50 or pity system. 10 pulls is 3k gems, and limited character guarantee costs 60k gems... so unless you're willing to spend a lot of money, the chances of getting who you want is very low. With the release rewards and when you start out there is a decent amount of income and you can get quite a few random 5* ,and hopefully get the ones you want if you're lucky... but after you complete most of the story & battle modes, daily income is hardly noticeable even with both daily passes(because there are two and it's $22 a month for them). If you're f2p expect to save past multiple reruns for characters. It's a very costly game, and doesn't seem like it's meant to last long. Kyubey must be running things.

I really love this game that has far exceeded Magia Record for animation and gameplay. The only thing keeping it from a full four stars is that the upgrade system could be better. I’m at the point where I can get all varieties of gems and Growth Enhancement for my Kioku but I don’t not like that the orbs are an in-store only item that never restocks and new ones only come in limited amounts and only when there’s a new limited-time event, meaning that you have to wait a month while your Kioku are still too weak to take on the main story enemies. Also the Fate Weave feature functions like loot boxes and it’s common to spend a lot of hard-earned gems and real-world money in order to get the Five-Star Kioku you want, even if the draw rate for specific ones are higher. So keep that in mind, especially if you’re a parent with children who play this game.

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

I picked this up for the day only--as a fan of the series who is winding down on gacha, I'm just not allowing myself to keep these games on my devices. What I saw though was a very lovely addition to the Madoka franchise.

The script in the main story path reads cleanly, graphics and music perform well in a way that keep scenes investing, and the new plot devices (the main character and A-Q) are actually provoking.

Unfortunately, you don't get to stop and smell the roses in this game, as the player is constantly interrupted between levels to check out more menus. It also forces you to look closely and click around where you may need to backtrack for treasure, unlike other games of a similar build showing you in the UI just how many treasures are missing from which ares.

The skip feature in the Upgrades game is awesome though. It doesn't force you to spend time rewatching the beating of a dead horse.

While some elements reminded me more of SiNoAlice or Nier ReIncarnation or even deemo, the game already seems like it's ready to grow into something distinct down the line. I'll data link and check back in case more QoL fixes arrive by the time an anniversary shows up.

Congrats to the development team and to other fans of the franchise!

I don’t usually write reviews for games, but since this one just launched I decided to. I happened to find out about this game a few days ago before it launched, as I was seeing what new anime games were out. I did not know a new Madoka Magica one was in the works, so I was pleasantly surprised. I played Magia Record a few years ago and was disappointed when it was taken down. Anyways for people who are thinking about downloading this game, it’s worth it.

Since it just launched there are many free items you can get, and it is easy to farm the story and events. Since the game has just launched there isn’t that big of a selection of characters yet; however, if it follows in the path of Magia Record or other anime games, there will be event banners.

Anyways, good game so far! Looking forward to see what else comes in the game from future updates!

I’m someone who’s been playing since original Magia Record, and it feels good to have my girls back, but there are definitely a lot of areas that could use some improvement such as better rewards down the road, especially since it takes a long time to get 3000 gems and it’s only this generous because it just launched. The pull rates are very rough to deal with as well. I would like something where we could interact more with the girls like have our own room we can customize with items we can get from events and whatnot. The gameplay and voice acting are great overall and it feels nice to revisit some things we may have forgotten from before. Great game, I just hope it continue to improve and not become more predatory for those trying to be more free-to-play.

If there was ever a “love letter” to fans, i think this game would be it. All the lore, characters, music, everything with the franchise seems like it will be in this game. Its like an encyclopedia for the franchise. The gameplay is not very complex, but its easy to learn and difficult to master. The devs seemed to listen to magia record’s problems, in some cases even overcorrecting, but its clear they are listening. Defense is way too strong early for both the player and the monsters, but it does get better later on and the strategic depth also develops with higher difficulty. This is the least predatory and most f2p friendly game I’ve ever played on mobile, and the adaptations to the story are fantastic so whether you are new or not to the franchise welcome in!

I am a new Puella Magi Madoka Magica fan! I love the story and Madoka, our adorable main character. She has such a cute face, and is a little bundle of kindness and hope. Plus her magical girl outfit is the cutest. I am reading the manga right now, and am going to watch the anime even though Crunchyroll only has the English dub. When I saw Magia Exedra, I preordered immediately. When the game downloaded, I had to wait until the official launch on the 27th to play it but it was worth the wait. Magia Exedra has amazing graphics, good storyline, good animation, and good voice acting. The combat is turn based, but the special attack animations make it fun. What an interesting concept for a Madoka game, having u be a magical girl who lost herself and the only way to restore herself is by gathering the memories of magical girls. I give this game 5 stars

So far I w been truly enjoying the game and experience. It feels familiar like I’m back in the world of Madoka Magica, while having its own story that connects in with everything yet remains on original story and the game has even further original stories within. At the same time a complex combat system that requires you to learn different roles and advance.

I don’t know where this journey will go but it feels like an experience where you’re not just following the story but you’re getting to play with and enjoy everyone we’ve come to know and love while also having its own story and experiences that you can only get from this. Absolutely a blast so far gonna continue to play already made it into one of my play every day games.

You don’t know how much I love Madoka. Her pink hair, her pink eyes, the way she embodies kindness even in the face of despair. She’s not just a magical girl—she’s hope itself. The way she struggles with her choices, always putting others before herself, makes her such a beautiful and tragic character. Every time I watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica, I fall in love with her all over again. Seeing others create games and art based on one of my favorite anime makes me so happy because it means her story, her existence, continues to inspire. Madoka is my favorite character—not just because she’s iconic, but because she represents everything I love in a protagonist: warmth, selflessness, and a strong strength.

I enjoy the game for what it is and it is still in its early stages of release which is exciting to see where the game goes from here, many players are already high level compared to where I am and I am enjoying the game at my own pace. However it is a bit disappointing that certain characters are advised to be had just to complete higher level missions in which you’re also told to reroll your account just to get those said characters as the game has a sort of Cap of you don’t have them or at least one of the 5 star characters. Nonetheless the game is still enjoyable and in my opinion beginner Friendly. If you’ve watched the anime then this game might be really enjoyable if you like Turn based combat and an upgrading system. But not enjoyable with those who don’t really have the patience for Grinding or testing their luck on getting the best characters.

I love this game thanks so much for bring it back and I have a idea that some players may like it or not , but I would like if magical girls had their droppels forms from magica record please and thank you so much for giving us this game a another chance, thank you so much I really love madoka anime series and the magica record too , thanks I pray for this game to come back to us players after magica record ended I was really sad when it happened but when you guys brought it back and this game was to replace the old game I was so happy to hear my prayers were answered thank you so much for everything you guys have done with artwork and is amazing game I really love it and enjoy game everyday I login in thanks again ^,•,^

I really like the quality and all the details that really reflect onto the show. I love how easily you can be caught up with the story without needing to even watch the show as well! This game also is not that laggy considering me playing it on high quality! So far it seems like there’s a lot to do and the game doesn’t seem boring at all since there’s a lot of new characters and stories to unlock so I absolutely loveee it <3

The animations are very smooth and pretty and so are the new magical girls! Which makes me sooo excited to see new lore that connects to madoka and homura. One thing however is that the stages give such a low amount of gems considering the price of the gacha. I find it hard to get gems in my opinion.

The graphics really are great. A lot of the initial storyline is exactly what happens in the show, so you’re not out of the loop in how everything unfolds. You collect pictures/memories to help yourself “remember” who you are, and as you progress you see a lot of the storyline based off of the anime. The overall genre of the game is a gacha/turn-based autobattler, so it has to be your cup of tea to continue playing. I’m a fan of the show and I think this game is a very nice extension of it! The tutorial is a lot longer than what would be considered standard, which I usually would dislike, but the transitions to scenes between gameplay makes it worth it to keep playing through, and makes the time pass quickly; it didn’t feel like a chore at all
