Our take on Mahou Arms
Its defining structure combines direct magical-girl combat with a small squad narrative, letting players switch from battlefield control to side activities such as drone racing and rail shooting.
What is Mahou Arms?
Mahou Arms is an anime-inspired character-action hack-and-slash game about GARDA, a global paramilitary group fighting the mysterious Locks as Earth faces destruction.
Players lead a small group of magical girls, learn about its members and other characters, and directly control a fighter during battles. Two magical girls are playable, each with different moves and playstyles. Combat includes varied attacks, spells, skills, and boss encounters.
