What Makes Magician's Saga Stand Out
Embark on a grand adventure as a spell-casting hero in this chill-out action & simulation game. Build a town and train your allies to prepare them for tough battles, in which you'll be right there at the front line, legendary magic rod in hand.
A once peaceful town was suddenly raided by monsters, and the kingdom's precious orb, which granted it good fortune, was stolen. The town fell into ruin…
Then, a fearless magician appeared before the king, and offered help. But it wasn't going to be easy!
Will the town be restored to its former glory? It's up to you, young mage!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love it, everyday we can play it and collect the xp and time.
This game reminds us a lot of Zelda, mage instead of warrior and lots more monsters than slimes. We play it more than we expected when we downloaded. Ads are limited and mostly optional.
Its ok pretty chilled not too much to do though.
A genuinely entertaining experience through customization and town building, can feel a bit mindless at times when completing dungeon after dungeon. Id also like to add that the Movement mechanic being an up and down arrow may frequently result in unwanted adds and miss inputs due to how close the are, a little separation or the ability to tilt your screen sideways may be a nice QOL.
Super simple gameplay loop. Heavy grinding as you get later into the game, but its fun at first.
We will update this as we get further in. A fourth element, Wind, would not be a bad thing to complete the elemental necessities; you can have it be strong against Water but weak against Fire (because wind spreads fire). The costs of upgrading at MagiMart seem a tad high for the early game. Taking those costs down a tad would still lead to satisfying progress. Nothing has changed, except we had to play the game over again.
The charm of this game is its clear expectation; clear ten zones, raise stats, wait a couple of hours for the stamina to refill, repeat. No complex plots nor grand mythos to unravel, simple and straightforward grind for gold and gems to raise your numbers. Contrasting goals of repeating a zone to rescue all the villagers verses clearing new zones for the gem boost plus new allies complement each other nicely.
This is not one of the best Kairosoft games, but it is pretty fun. You can avoid the freemium trap inherent in the game, which sets it apart from other similar games.

Interesting but dont waste money on this.
Fun game to play and passes time well.
Game is fun to play and is one of the better types of these games. The only complaint we have is the energy meter.
But not really. At least its not a pay to win game, or a greedy whale hunter abusing peoples nostalgia to profit from them like Diablo immoral. Theres many ads, but it keeps you entertained when in the bathroom.
Theres literally no options menu.
The farther you get the harder levels you already beat get trying to force in app purchases for progression. We beat first 5 stages and lost so we went back, now its impossible to even beat the second stage. Cant replay levels to grind for gold now so only way to progress is to pay or to use their offers.
Goes to 100% at loading screen and just stays there. Is this a joke.
When we open the game, it loads to 100% and then just gets stuck. We cant play the game.
Takes a minute to get into it. Not the best kairosoft game but not bad.
This game is super fun and crazy addictive.
Game has a permanent bar with ads running, that you cannot get rid of in any way, ever. Very annoying.
Maintaining just one mage is nice instead of the entire village! Unlocking new allies and being able to choose where everyone is lined up (or not if you choose not to use someone) is not new but still great. Utilizing the random people in town for commentary on how to do things, giving advice, and random funny comments is by far the best implementation of a how-to and highly appreciated! Im hooked, per usual, by Kairosoft.
Pretty simple and pretty fun!! Wish you could move in more than one dimension to better dodge attacks, and its a bit grindy at times, but otherwise its fun.
Fun twist for Kairo. Im having a good time with the game so far.
Pretty simple AMD strait forward game yet addicting to play. We wish we there was more customization for the allies.
Love this GAME! Fun and steady gameplay! The enemies get more difficult as you progress! Also you get the fun town building that kairosoft is known for.
A nice fun game to play in our spare time.
Actually, a confession: we use this game to fall asleep to. The aspect of lazy, immediate strategy is like a little lullaby for our buzzing brain. Its prefect for us… Thanks, you guys.
Very easy and can be difficult at times which keeps us playing.
Its get challenging but a different game to try out by kairosoft.
By fresh we mean fresh for kairosoft. This game is arguably rather generic, but as a kairosoft fan, this new twist is refreshing. Our only complaint is that there appears to be no way to turn off sound and music in the game, but other than that we really enjoy it. And the ability to earn gems by checking out kairosoft games is a nice addition. If the link directs us to a free Kairo game we dont have we always download it haha. Pretty great idea on the developers behalf. But yeah, thanks for a great game guys. Really.
Fun game, try it youll like it.
Easy & intuitive with captivating art.
Sometimes these small games are hard to level up or take forever to gather the coin in game to level up. This game has an easy way of getting more gems and money without having to wait months to build up. We love Kairosoft.
This is a very fun game. We like the fact that the only in-game-purchase is extra stamina, which is not critical to have, but does come in handy.
Pretty straightforward game in terms of level progression, upgrading, etc. Love that your characters appearance changes with equipment. Ads are a bit annoying but micro transactions arent necessary to play and enjoy.
A fun game and is challenging enough to keep you interested. Would like to see some updates that make it easier to get more lodging or stores.
This is a good break from the formula Kairo usually follows. Instead of running towns, diners, apartments, etc., you engage in a pretty simple combat platform and embark on quests. It gets pretty repetitive, but they do their best to make sure it doesnt get too stale. Overall Im impressed.
Another time consuming game from Kairo.
This is one of those simple but fun time killer games. If you like to grind then this game is for you.
It had a nice throwback feel. Nicely done.
Just amazing game…been looking for a game like this for ages.
The esthetic is cute and the game play is super addictive. Great way to pass the time as well as GI a small quick.
Feels very similar to the other town managers, which is only a good thing. We think the only thing holding it back is over reliance on stamina to acquire resources.
We are enjoying the game. Once you get a few town folk to join your team the progression picks up. Upgrades are linked in groups. So if you upgrade hp the cost next time goes up for hp AND mana. Same for atk def and regen. Same for cold fire lit. You might like switching spells or specialize in one element and let your recruits do the other types of magic damage. Upgrading your elements not only makes that specific atk stronger it gets bonus to the atk type. Like bigger splash radius. Only issue is we dont understand the gear as of yet in relation to its leveling up= power. Gear lvl up and gets stronger prob is our bigger stuff is so strong vs newer stuff we dont change equipment. And one other thing. Your not grinding zones for diamonds. After each map. Search the down for the man that offers diamonds. Its 50 per.
Fairly fun and doesnt harass you or even ask for microtransactions.
Sometimes the game freezes when connected to wi fi, so theres that.
Its great, the stamina should refill faster though.
A little boring but addicting…. We enjoyed it but prefer other Kairo games more.
