Our take on Magic Scroll Tactics / マジックスクロールタクティクス / 魔法卷轴 / 魔法捲軸
Elevation defines each battle: high positions can strengthen attacks, while enemies above a unit may be difficult to reach. The side-scrolling layout makes vertical control the central structural constraint rather than a minor battlefield detail.
What is Magic Scroll Tactics / マジックスクロールタクティクス / 魔法卷轴 / 魔法捲軸?
Magic Scroll Tactics is a side-scrolling, turn-based tactical RPG built around vertical positioning.
Characters can attack from above, struggle against enemies on higher ground, or use agile fighters and airborne units to change the battlefield. Magic provides attacks with fire, ice, and lightning effects regardless of position. Characters gain points when leveling up, which can be spent on class-specific abilities. Switching jobs opens additional ability sets. The story follows Nash, a summoner trying to stop evil magi from reviving an ancient witch. Her journey includes encounters with a priestess, a pirate pursuing treasure, and groups of monsters.
