A couple of months ago, Idea Factory International announced it would be bringing Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy West this year, and now it has announced a July launch date for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. In the game, a girl named Fia wants to enrol at the Ancient Magic Academy and become a mage at the place where the Great Mage learned. She makes the long journey from her hometown and gets through on luck alone. Once at the school, she struggles to get through the challenges that come alongside schoolwork, strict professors, and mysterious happenings. Fia and her classmates explore the academy’s mysteries, uncovering the legends about the Great Mage. Maybe Fia herself can become a Great Mage someday?
Here are the key features of Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy, from Idea Factory International:
- Conquer Dynamic Dungeons and Help Fia Become A Great Mage! — Crawl through randomly generated dungeons and engage in real-time, turn-based battles to help Fia level up. Use Magic Skills and collect Elemental Orbs to fill up your gauge and unleash Great Magic Skills. Manage your inventory and stats as you traverse floor after floor of wondrous treasures and magical monsters—including Puyo, Skeleton T, and others!
- Keep your Grimoire Handy!— Keep track of unlocked abilities with the Grimoire, which logs Fia’s Magic Skills. Complete Assignments, Help Quests, and earn Learning Points that can be used to unlock nodes in the Grimoire for Fia to learn new Magic Skills.
- Fia is Mad About Town! — Take a break from dungeon crawling and explore the school grounds where Fia can check out the Bulletin Board for unlocked mini-games, interact with classmates, grow ingredients, cook curry for in-dungeon boosts, and more! Find out what other goings on await Fia along her journey!
- Swords, Shields, and Shiny Armor with Synthesis in the Storage Room — In the Storage Room of the school grounds, use items found in dungeons to synthesize into new equipment for Fia. Better synthesis items can later be unlocked via the Grimoire.
