a surprisingly fun game. I hadn't played the first one, but the mechanics started out simple enough and progressed into a more and more complex system. Its addicting. at times id sink 3 or 4 hours in at once without realizing it. I was able to overpower most of the bosses eventually but the challenges provided really fun puzzles to make each run a little more complex. The enemy designs were a little cheesy but it didn't detract from the gameplay at all.

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.

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).
