What Makes MAGICUS Stand Out
■ High-speed Battles via Simple Puzzles
Increase your damage by matching 3 in a row.
At first, the battles are simple.
Gradually, depending on the color, matching will activate various effects for a more exhilarating time.
In addition, you can save colors to perform magical attacks, or change a disadvantageous situation by shuffling.
These puzzles are speed battles with no waiting time.
■ Multiple Ways to Power Up
Get stronger by equipping weapons, armor, and accessories, all with unique features.
If your stats are too low, you will not be able to defeat strong monsters.
There is also a limit to the amount of magic you can use.
Change jobs, allocate gifts, and enjoy your own path to more power.
■ Stages
Conquer various stages including rainy areas that hinder your movement
and caves that require light sources.
As you progress through the stages, you'll find grand rewards and discover new areas.
■ Story
A world full of circumstances.
Set out on an adventure as you gain allies with their own secrets.
At first, your goal is to defeat a being known as the Demon King.
Gradually, more and more mysteries will emerge.You'll meet unsettling people and learn about the true appearance of the world.
■ Home System
Once you have some extra spending money, buy a home.
You can get various benefits by purchasing furniture.
Purchase a summoning stand to call forth servants that can aid you in battle.
■ Choose Your Skills
Insert skill pieces into the skill board
Activate your favorite combination of skills.
There are various board shapes, so it is up to you to decide which combination to equip.
■ Numerous Facilities
In addition to the item shop and equipment shop,
there are many facilities including a pawnshop, extraction shop, lottery shop, step count shop, fish exchange shop, and arena.
You can get rewards by purchasing or exchanging items.
■ A Variety of Tools
Many tools will become available on your journey: torches to light your path, items to start a stage partway through, hints to read, new gifts, a compendium where you can see enemy item drops, and much more.
Eating the ingredients from enemies may have a surprising effect.
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
A very solid and surprisingly deep offline gem matching RPG. At first seems overly simple but as the game goes on adds more depth and complexity. Great game.
We purchased this purely off of the knowledge that this developer also created Astlibra, which is one of the most surprising and incredible games Ive played in a while, and the aesthetics while a little outdated are incredibly charming. So buy this and also go buy astlibra. This is a developer that has a very evident passion for the things he makes and knows how to craft them incredibly well.
We downloaded this to try and fill the Astlibra sized hole we had. (Same developer, phenomenal rpg we HIGHLY recommend). We were pleasantly surpised by how addicting and complex this mobile game is! So much depth, we played for around 5 straight hours after our initial download. KEIZO is truly so talented.
Personally, we haven't come into contact with this game. We have been playing ASTLIBRA, which is the best ARPG game we have played in recent years. Its plot is unforgettable, and buying games is loved and supported.
This work is amazing for the price. It is an RPG with a battle system that involves a match 3 gem combination. There are multiple job classes (with advanced versions that you need to unlock). You craft weapons, armor, and accessories. You can then extract a skill from them (destroys the item in the process). There is fishing, lottery, and an arena. The events get repetitive, but the strategy and gameplay make up for it. And the price tag is cheap compared to the hours of fun you receive in return.
Its really sad that this mechanically deep spiritual descendant of Puzzle Quest has been languishing undiscovered for two years. Its even better than Hero Emblems.
We are so glad we found this game. It is soo dang good. Its one of those games that we like to say grabs you by the face. We cant believe more people arent playing this. We absolutely love it, even with the poor translation, its still amazing. Great Job devs! You are awesome, we hope more people play this, we plan on telling all of our friends to get this. Thank you.
Really wonderful game; a classic style rpg well worth the price. Clearly made with love. We wish more people knew about this game.
