What an incredibly addictive game! I couldn't put this down for a few weeks until I cleared it. It's a sort of idle/active hybrid, where you watch numbers go up, but progress does come quickly enough that you can play actively. The gameplay loop is delicious, and the most strategy-focused idle-like I've played ever. Beating harder bosses balances gearing up and smart tactics. Combat can be active or passive depending on how you set up. Story is really good. A lot of thought went into it.

An excellent sequel to the original Magic Research. It has a decent balance of grinding, automating, idling, and active battling. The best part is that, like the first game, there's an engaging story where the game mechanics make sense and there's a finite end. I finished the game at 99% completion after about a month, and I feel accomplished and that it was time well-spent (in comparison to a "traditional" idle game that you play infinitely until it becomes a chore).

Absolutely wonderful, I've put an ungodly amount of hours into this game... 100%'d the game, and on my second playthough now. Tiny spoilers ahead! The two main complaints I have are these: Familiars are not given enough love & having enemies that one-shot instakill them (I.e. A Mysterious Woods enemy) is very cheesy. The other is that it's very difficult to change whole builds at once... Synchro, then spellcraft, then gear, then spells, then pouch items (not synced with build?), then... etc.
