Magician's Academy + Bonus

Novelist Sakaki Ichiro supervises an original script for Enterbrain's Magician's Academy Playstation game which is based on his books and subsequent manga of the same name. Sakaki is known for his Scrapped Princess works which originally reached market in 1999. Fitting neatly in the Moe RPG genre, the characters in Magician's Academy are a dainty lot with big eyes, pert bodies, and an irresistible essence of charm and lovability. While the cast is undeniably cute, the action is all business where the party battles opposing forces on tactical grids. The first mission pits the heroes against a group of robots who collectively pack a wallop. The movement and attack phase is similar to other S-RPG games where characters are sent scurrying across the stage to meet opponents head-on. When a hero is adjacent to an enemy, select the attack move to deal a blow or choose the magic option fire off an offensive spell. The battles run smoothly with no-nonsense execution and a sense of solidity about everything.
The game system in Magician's Academy eschews the concept of characters leveling up to ever higher gradations of power. To increase the capabilities of a hero, items may be equipped to enhance his performance on the battlefield. «more»
