To begin this is an anime style game with harem elements, Think Conception II in terms of character interaction. But where this one does different is the playthrough, Turns are very fast tactical and the art is very well done. I honestly love the game and would definatly recommend it for anyone looking for an RPG on the go, and like SIM type games, also the soundtrac included is amazing!… Expand

   Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven is a wonderful SRPG for the Nintendo 3DS. I did not know much about this game when I purchased it, but had readLord of Magna: Maiden Heaven is a wonderful SRPG for the Nintendo 3DS. I did not know much about this game when I purchased it, but had read a lot of great reviews about Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven and decided to go with my gut instinct, and purchase this wonderful game. The first thing I noticed immediately after I started playing Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven was the unique graphical style of the characters, and especially the graphical styles of the Maidens(if you decide to purchase this game for your 3DS, the Maidens are known by another name but that is all I will say so I do not ruin the plot of this game) and I have to note that Charlotte(the first Maiden you encounter) has the best graphical style in my opinion. After noticing the unique graphical style that is present in Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven, I started to dive into the game and fell in love with the uniqueness of the strategy aspect of Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven. The best way to describe how the strategy system works in Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven is to apply what you already know about strategic role playing games, but add this simple unique twist, when you attack with one of the four characters you can use during a battle(Luchs is always a part of the team, so you can choose three Maidens to bring along with you for the battle when at least three become available), attack the enemies as if they are bowling pins. It is one fantastic twist for an SRPG, and I highly recommend purchasing Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven.… Expand

   I thought I should share my my views on this, as someone who mainly purchased this game to follow the developers of Rune Factory in their nextI thought I should share my my views on this, as someone who mainly purchased this game to follow the developers of Rune Factory in their next project. (Though I'm rather late to the party, I had no idea this game was out yet.)
   
   Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven isn't one of those high budget 3DS games. It doesn't share the complexity of Rune Factory, rather the opposite, this game seems to be aimed at simplicity.
   
   The combat style is based on cones of attack, the element wheel for what attacks are strong against certain enemies, and lots of little stats that the game doesn't really go out of it's way to explain to you. It's almost as simple as it possibly could be. This is fine on the lowest difficulty, but on higher ones, you find yourself just getting bored of attack spongey enemies that are more time consuming than challenging to fight. That's the combat system in a nutshell.
   
   The story, without trying to spoil anything, is rather stereotypical. It's not overly thought out, there's no surprising twists or flashy events, it's just enough to hold up everything in the world. Enough to explain the girls origins, the villains motives, the main characters story, etc. It's the bare minimum a story could be.
   
   The characters and the art are probably the only things that carry this game.
   The portrait art, looking very similar to what you'd find in Rune Factory games, is very visually appealing. It's very detailed, and each character even has one animated portrait each which looks rather nice. The same goes with the CG's. While rather rare, they are very nice looking for a 3DS game. There are also a few rare animated scenes, though they're rather short.
   The characters themselves are quite charming. While there are a lot of the typical stereotypes in terms of personality, the characters are brought to life rather well, and they're endearing enough that your motivation for playing the game will most likely be to see their progression as the story marches on.
   
   The art team assigned to this project is qualified for much better things if I to be honest. I hope Marvelous AQL realize the talent they have on their hands here, and put them on more worthwhile projects in the future. I'd very much like to see more from them.… Expand

   Buen juego, con una historia interesante pero con un nivel demasiado fácil que no supondrá demasiado reto terminar el juego.

   (Final Score: 7.5) Pretty fun game, but it isn't near perfect and does have some flaws that stick out to me. I finished the game in 17 hours(Final Score: 7.5) Pretty fun game, but it isn't near perfect and does have some flaws that stick out to me. I finished the game in 17 hours with Di's ending (purple), and I felt that the game was simply unfinished when it ended. So much more could have been added to the game, like time with the likeable characters (Bart too). The music is excellent but sometimes gets repetitive when playing long sessions. The antagonist could have been fleshed out some more, but was a tiny bit relatable in the sense that you could understand his/her intentions. The opening animation and the CGs look like they came straight from an anime, which is good (that means quality most of the time). New Game + is available for those who want to continue, and you can keep two of the characters at their current level to make the battles go by quicker.
   
   Speaking of battles, I felt that the system was quite interesting, but not really utilized with deep enough depth. The beginning battles were a bit hard for me, but once I got the hang of the system, the rest of the battles were a breeze (yes, including the final boss for me). The problem with the battle system is that (1) offensive skills aren't very useful against enemies; you may as well use the normal attack, (2) support and debuff skills are overpowered, particularly healing and poison attacks (which I don't mind), (3) the actual flow of the battle is too slow, watching other enemies decide that they won't move a bit (like 5 of 8 enemies wasting your time), and (4) boss enemies simply have too much damn HP that it's just a cycle of attack, attack, attack, heal, attack, and so on. Poison does a good number (especially towards endgame), but it still feels like grinding the enemy's HP down instead of really battling against it. Either way, I found the fights to be enjoyable overall.
   
   Basically, the game ends too fast, making any of the potential things the developers could have developed even more left as half baked systems (items, crafting, lack of armor/weapons which is okay, etc.) You should be able to complete one playthrough of the game between 16-20 hours, and should be between level 40-45 by that point.

Captain Crunch here with another exciting batch of goodness. This time it's Oops all cutscenes! Before you click away though, I have to tell you, now with; no text speed controls, text boxes that take over two whole seconds to pop up, and poorly animated characters that will leave you wondering how they move so slow with so few frames. It's a wonder it only took me 8 minutes to mash through the initial cutscene only to have to mash through 8 more minutes of the horrible nothing that is this games cutscenes. After the cutscenes you finally get to look at the pretty power-point presentation of a tutorial. I haven't actually gotten to play yet since it took me 20 minutes too long to start the game at all, prompting a rage post first. It's not all bad though. I give it a 1/10. The 1 is because the cutscenese are THREE-DEE.… Expand
