Promise of Wizard | Japanese
4.8everything about mahoyaku is wonderful.
though there is no global version as of the time of writing this, and the very notion of one being unlikely, the game is easy to get a grasp on and able to be picked up and played when you have free time - something i find very valuable.
the character design, art, and live2d rigging are all beautiful, and every character feels unique and distinct from each other in terms of silhouette and personality, even if the story states that wizards who live in the same country have fundamental traits in common.
the story is also divine, with the perfect amount of stakes, drama, and a perfectly character-driven narrative that is dark and intense without being melodramatic or overly depressing. the lore is well-thought out and delivered in such a wonderful way, too, and you can tell that there was a lot of thought put into how the world works.
the title theme of mahoyaku was written and performed by the band mili, who i have followed and admired for their surrealist musical theming and artcore sound. the rest of the in-game music is wonderful too, with each country having their own theme, and a score that includes both intense themes and lighthearted tunes
the game is worth getting into for the western country wizards alone. please play it.
