Arena fighting games struggle in a modern age where the standard is the smash hit we all know about. There have been many contenders to the throne from both AAA factories and indie shops alike, and many provide stellar enjoyment. Enter Magical Battle Festa, an arena-based fighting game that’s not just about magical girls.
Magical Battle Festa comes to North America from fly-system and localized by Playism. Set in the far future when science has finally released the magical energy within humans and appropriately dubbed it ‘magic,’ monsters now roam the world and mages from all over compete in a tournament to be chosen as Earth’s defenders.
A couple of new titles have been announced from way over seas as game developers Fly System and Yokogo Systems have confirmed a new title each - Magical Battle Festa and Rev Ersi Quest, respectively.
Starting with Magical Battle Festa, the hack and slash title will see a team of magical girls who have formed a support unit called the "Madou machine".
Was kinda hoping for some regular non indie titles. Would love to see more Japanese games on Xbox even if ms has to pay them for brining it since Japan sales are low.
Guess what? Nobody will buy. I feel very sorry for those devs. Hope they manage to break the contract with M$ and start to develop games for Nintendo and/or Sony.
congratulate, xbox gamers in Japan, and I hope these are not coming to PS4 too soon.
you know, when im thinking about xbox brand, "magical girl" (no, yennefer doesnt count)must be somewhere along the last thing coming to mind.
SteamFirst: I’m going to level with you here: Fly System’s Magical Battle Festa does not make a good first impression when going in cold. This 3D arena based one-on-one fighter initially seems like the mano y mano brawls that were shoe horned into some of the Dynasty Warriors games.

The fair takes place in Tokyo, and its cause is to celebrate self-published manga, primarily. But this essence carries through to different media types that show up to flaunt themselves; it’s all part of a big trade in what is essentially indie creations. Games are part of that."
