Review summary

Magicus is a unique match-3 RPG hybrid that offers a deep and engaging experience with extensive content and charming art and music. It is appreciated as a premium, MTX-free mobile game with well-optimized performance. However, several reviews mention issues with rough English translations, occasional grinding, and linear gameplay. Despite some small flaws like translation quality and early difficulty spikes, it remains highly recommended for fans of the genre and provides many hours of gameplay.

Pros

Unique blend of match-3 and RPG mechanics providing a deep and enjoyable gameplay experience.
Great amount of content including main story, side quests, and post-game activities offering long playtime.
Art and music are highly praised for being charming and enhancing the game atmosphere.
Affordable premium game without typical mobile game monetization (MTX) cynicism.
Well-programmed with minimal battery drain on devices.

Cons

English translation is rough or poor, affecting understanding of skills, items, and story elements.
Early game can be quite difficult, and later stages may require grinding which some find boring.
Gameplay can feel linear with limited strategic depth in the match-3 battles.
Minor exploits exist that can diminish challenge for some players.

2024-12-31	Ro*****	This is the kind of mobile game I'm always looking for and can never find. I've overlooked it before based on a glance, but I'm glad I found it again. A full, charming experience without any of the cynicism of most MTX-riddled mobile games.

2024-12-26	An*****	Many came from astilbra and I go the other way around: this game is too good that I bought astilbra after playing this. Disclaimer: I played it in Japanese so I didn't get translation issues like many. Yet I think the Japanese is easy enough for anyone who wants to learn the language with some Kanji background. With the help of Google Lens, this is a great starting point of building up your kanji bank.

2024-11-13	Jo*****	Such a unique game. I came looking for M3 RPG, and that's sort of what you get. More JRPG with a small focus on the puzzle battles. It's not the best translate, and you need to discover a lot about the mechanics, but I find myself enjoying it and trying to figure out all the nuances. Really cool game!

2024-08-19	Ph*****	Glad this finally got updated so I can try it. Astlibra was kamige so I've been curious about this one. Nice match 3 adventure RPG. Travel along a road with random events, fight monsters, collect materials to use at the shop to get new equipment. It's fun and has pleasant music and art, however the translation is awful. It can be pretty difficult to understand sometimes. Magicus Revision when?

2022-09-04	An*****	This game is a hidden gem! Artwork is fantastic, the story is interesting and there's a great depth to the gameplay mechanics. Biggest flaw is the translation and some minor exploits, but totally worth the price imo!

2022-04-13	Ri*****	Thoroughly satisfied with this purchase. Puzzle Quest with a mechanical twist and tons of content (both main, side and post game) to go through. Early game can be pretty difficult, and later grinding can be boring at times, but the visual effects, of all things, keeps you in the game, especially once you get your magic up and running consistently allowing you to blitz through the zones and unlocks. Highly recommended, even with translation issues.

2022-02-20	Jo*****	Not the best translation at times, but a really interesting magic/combat match-3 and a plot that takes a number of fun twists as you figure out new ways to break the game. Very satisfying, and I didn't expect I'd spend so long playing it or reach the "perfect end" eventually!
