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.

Game that can be enjoyed by both newcomers and experienced players. Played only a portion of Magic Research and saw that Magic Research 2 had released. I now have a 100% save file and have started my next playthrough. Overall the game feels very well put together and there's always a way to continue to progress. Try as many items/elements as possible! Enjoyed every minute except for the Creator. Took me too many tries. Anyways! Get this game! Worth the time!

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).
