[h1]Magic Must Defeat Magic[/h1] [h2]Story[/h2] From the Steam description, you're probably thinking this is some sort of Harry Potter-like power fantasy, due to the protagonist Kaito joining a community of mages. As you play, it turns out magic has a dark twist and ultimately causes more harm than good, and every party member has been negatively affected by magic in some way, whether it's through unwanted side-effects or political power struggles. However, the source of magic, the Black Pearl, isn't explained all that well. The ending implies that there are efforts to get rid of it, but I can't help but wonder if the untranslated and removed prequel, HIBIKAKEYIRONOKISEKI, is necessary to fully understand the lore. Unfortunately, the pacing of the story is very slow compared to the amount of important things that actually happen. Some acts don't seem to advance the plot very much and just feel like filler monster extermination, which I felt made the game a bit longer than it should have been. As for the characters, like in Rise of the Third Power, there is a lot of friction between them, most of them have issues, and they have at least some positive character development conce…

Very odd title, one of the ones that can only be recommended if you like VN's and turn based RPG's. The story is a bit odd, especially toward the end, and turns really dark once you get the whole group together around chapter 11. Some pretty creepy and horrible things happen. I don't like the ending, but the rest of the story made up for it. I like that a couple of the characters are a lot more morally grey, and I liked the reversed from the normal views of black and white magic and of light and dark. There are some issues with the pacing of the story, some chapters don't really lead anywhere and just feel like filler. I also don't like how some of these adults keep hitting on a 13 year old boy. Note that none of the choices really matter, it's a linear story with only the illusion of choice. Gameplay is decent, the turn based combat has some variety, and involves some resource management. The combat is easy until you get your full team together around chapter 11, then you'll be required to take advantage of elemental weaknesses, and try to avoid getting blasted too hard against enemies strong against a certain character's weakness. The final non-cutscene battle in …

Mostly I agree with the other reviews, but I'd honestly say the combat isn't bad. It isn't super deep and there's very limited build variety but there's just little enough of it and it's just tightly tuned enough that bar the final boss it rarely takes long and is generally fun enough.

An interesting story to say the least. Recommended. I would say this is more of a visual novel than full rpg. The translation is solid compared to most other works. The battle system leaves much to be desired, but the story makes up for most of it. There is also an option to skip that if you just want to enjoy the story. Treat this as more of a visual novel than a RPG and you may like it. I found some battles painful to get through, mostly in the later stages. Overall a fine story just offset by some skippable but offputting battles.
