    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a charming and inventive style, featuring fast-paced tactical RPG mechanics that allow for experimentation without excessive deliberation. While the introduction of new mechanics keeps battles engaging and prevents repetition, some players may find the overall difficulty lacking, leading to a less in-depth exploration of the game's systems. Despite its lighthearted story and casual dialogue, the game offers a delightful experience with unique customization options and a playful atmosphere.

    • “A playful, inventive style matched with thoughtful gameplay and plenty to explore.”
    • “The combat does a lot to make itself stand out, and never feels repetitive thanks to the slow yet steady introduction of new mechanics and units across the game.”
    • “You won't need to put hours and hours of your free time into the mechanics of Magellania to understand the game and make progress, and at the same time, the game will never bore you because it always adds new little twists to the battles.”
    • “Unfortunately, the writing and gameplay at times take a back seat in service to this—the story is mostly casual, lighthearted dialogue which, while easy to read, provides little intrigue or complexity.”
    • “However, I found that the gameplay is usually easy enough that players won't be pushed to experiment and play with the system too in depth, as most maps can be cleared pretty quickly once a team has solidified a base of a couple of strong badges without taking too much time to plan out every move or carefully consider team composition or loadouts.”
    • “The gameplay can be very fast-paced for a tactical RPG, letting you experiment and move through turns rapidly without having to deliberate for long before every turn, letting you experiment quickly with different loadouts even if you fail.”
  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “A delightful little strategic RPG; complete with a unique art style, good music, charmingly silly story, and battle mechanics/unit customization that give you enough freedom to make me feel like I missed an overpowered combo/team comp.”
    • “I am a casual player and post-game sounds dreadful; I'm usually here for the story, and I liked it.”
    • “Unfortunately, the writing and gameplay at times take a back seat in service to this—the story is mostly casual, lighthearted dialogue which, while easy to read, provides little intrigue or complexity.”
    • “Overall, speaking as a gamer who enjoys fully exploring, deeply understanding, and abusing game systems, and on the story side appreciates intimate and compelling characters, I probably wouldn't recommend this game to myself.”
