Have you ever played something that makes you feel like your playing a mobile game but exceeds the basics so far that you couldn’t help but grow to love it? Hi my name is phant0m and these are my thoughts on…. Magical Drop VI!!!
Visuals
First thing you’ll notice in this game is some nice drawings and decent visuals, nothing too crazy on screen, as I said it kinda gave me the vibes of a mobile game, which in this department it would be an awesome looking one! The drawings of the characters is a warm anime kind of style and the surrounding areas are super colorful and outwardly which makes sense as this is a game about gods and taking care of a world!
Gameplay
When I first played this game I couldn’t believe how difficult the very first enemy was! I spent half an hour trying to be the very first person in the story mode, and i thought I would never beat the game because I kept switching between difficulties including the easiest without being able to beat them, and once I finally did the rest of the game was so much easier in comparison, even the final boss wasn’t hard, and once I completed the first run I came back and it was still too difficult for me, whatever AI they used on that character needs to be put on the final boss and switched out immediately. But if you want to know what the gameplay was like outside of that, it was a pretty basic match this row of blocks with its color making them explode and disappear, if you have a stack of three going downward it will explode everything in that area, and the main goal is to have several of these go off at the same time, if you don’t you die, and not gonna lie it was a pretty addicting loop, an insanely fun one too!
Story/Characters
The story of this game has you recruiting plenty of powerful gods to try and save the world, you’ll recruit them in a random order you can choose. Deciding the short date of the plot by either being evil or good, I found it engrossing enough to play my first few times to collect as many characters as I could. Not only that but these characters also have multiple character lines that are actually fun to read through even if it is a bit simple. The only problem I had regarding the story was that there wasn’t more, I truly wish there was so much more because the game kept ending before I could spend too many hours on it. If the game had a longer story with these solid characters, I would’ve definitely played more of them! The characters designs were also cool and unlocking them for the arcade mode was a pretty nice reward for my efforts of trying out different storylines.
Music
Music was also pretty nice, I wouldn’t call it absolutely amazing but I still had some fun listening to it. I wish it was a bit more mellow during exploration, and then eat more hectic during the gameplay to really scare me and fill me with tons of adrenaline.
Performance
The performance of the game ran super well on my base PS5, the only thing I ran into was the first fight being harder than everything else, but that’s ok.
Verdict
Anyways if you were wondering I do recommend this game, it’s so simple and enjoyable; That i Could help but have fun! I give this game an 8.5/10. The only real negative lies in the fact that I not only wanted more but felt there should be. And also the AI that held me up for a half hour :(. Anyways, that’s it from me! Thanks for Reading! 🙂 Keep doing great things, you’re good at them. Bye.
