This game is PACKED, and isn’t a cash grab like most games, there’s no many ways to get items and characters, and grinding is actually super fun and can get addicting! I found myself saying “just one more game” and playing for hours. I preordered the game and have been waiting for over a year, and it was so worth the wait! The animations are so pretty, and voice acting is amazing! If you love Madoka magica or just want a new game to play I recommend it! It tells the whole story for people that need a refresher or just don’t wanna watch the anime. I felt like I was watching Madoka magica again for the first time, and since the movie comes out this year, this is a great and entertaining way to refresh your memory. I usually don’t like phone games bc they have so much fluff, especially gacha, but this one grabbed my attention and as a huge Madoka Magica fan I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype I’ve seen in ads, but it definitely does and more!!!

I downloaded Magica Exedra with high hopes, but I can’t even get past the title screen due to a persistent “network error.” No matter what I try—switching Wi-Fi, using mobile data, reinstalling the app—it won’t connect. After doing some research, I realized this isn’t just a random bug. Players from Puerto Rico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and several other Latin American countries are all reporting the same problem. The game installs just fine, but once opened, it becomes completely unplayable due to region-based server restrictions. What makes this even more frustrating is that I’m in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. The game is available for download in both the U.S. App Store and Google Play here, so it’s confusing and misleading that it shows up as available but won’t actually work. If the game isn’t supported in a region, it shouldn’t be listed as accessible—or at the very least, the developers should provide a clear explanation or notice. I’m genuinely a huge fan of Madoka Magica, and I was really excited for this release. This is the only active Madoka Magica game that’s officially available, and it genuinely interested me. So it’s extremely disappointing to finally see a global release, only to be completely locked out without any communication or support. I hope this issue gets fixed, or at least addressed, because fans from places like Puerto Rico deserve to enjoy the game just like everyone else.

I really wanted to love this game, but the repetitiveness gets to you quick. Each level feels the same, and there’s no gimmicks to make you want to do actually play the game. Many turn-based games have a bit of an over world and/or unique puzzles to solve. This game has neither, which makes it easy to not want to go into a level. Not to mention, half of the time I cannot load into the game. Whenever I am able to load in, there’s so many minuscule loading screens that take minutes to load. Finally, the pity system is terrible. You have to pull 20 times (60,000 gems) to be garunteed a character on the banner. That’s very unrealistic for many players, even for whales that’s a bit much. With how quickly banners are coming and going (from what we’ve seen so far) the precedent isn’t very good. Overall, the games needs to be more interactive so players don’t get tired of the same thing over and over again. Adding one special thing in the background that gives 100 gems is not enough, in my opinion. Not to mention, fixing the pity system to be more realistic would be amazing. Especially for unlucky players.
