Ratings and reviews

so many games try to control your time with dailies, missable boosts, and paid time speedups. Magic Research is a game you buy once and you get an interesting experience for a few weeks. There isn't the grandiose art of the many idle games on the app store. This feels like a simple adventure, you build up supplies, gear, and magics. When you restart it has an actual purpose. It isn't the simple get bigger numbers. In game events give permanent buffs for the rest of the game. I realy liked it.

This game is a rare gem among mobile games. A great time killer and one that really satisfies my hyperfixation. I love the way afk progress is handled. Instead of progress while you're away, you earn "time pieces." These can be used when you come back to the game to speed up time and progress the things you want. One thing I'd love to see is a UI update for combat. At higher levels, it's easy to flood the quickbar with things you need and makes it a little messy. Overall, this is a must buy.

I've been playing android games for 14 years. This is the only app review I've felt compelled to review. This game is clearly made by someone who values focusing on the individual characteristics of the incremental genre that make it fun. It has a story, it has numbers that go up, it has strategy, it has recontextualizing of prior mechanics, and it has replayability. It does each of these very well and the price is appropriate for the amount of time spent. All in all, just solid. 5/5.
