MACHT MAGIE

⠀

MACHT MAGIE is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Vantan Academy in Japan. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This is a simple third persion action adventure game where the player is in a "magic school" (wow, never heard of that idea before) and has to battle ghosts to pass the end of year exam. Really it's a bit of a yawnfest but I think the students did well enough that they can go make Playstation games that will be ported to PC terribly later on. There's no English translation for the gam…

MACHT MAGIE is like Hogwarts, but with more chaos and less homework. You’re slinging spells at ghosts while figuring out how magic works. The graphics are cool, the combat’s fun, but it’s still got that "we’re not perfect yet" vibe. It's free, so might as well hop in and start your magical mayhem!

i love the art style, it's like im playing Zelda lol, but the game was one level? idk if this is a demo but it's really super short like only 11min playing it
