Madoka ★ Etoiles ~Rondo of Grief~

An interesting puzzle game

Madoka ★ Etoiles ~Rondo of Grief~ (まどか★エトワール ～嘆きの輪舞曲～) is a multi-player (local, with netplay planned) puzzle game developed by 幻奏ストラウス. The game contains gorgeous graphics, a soundtrack composed of arranged tracks from the anime and different, original storylines depending on the difficulty setting. Players can choose one of the five main characters from the anime in Story Mode or one out of fourteen in the other available modes. Each character has their own stats and unique special attacks which inflict their own effects onto their opponents.

Characters

Magical Girls

Madoka

Madoka is an all-rounder with equal proficiency in all stats. Her special attacks deals damage to her opponent while also randomly sealing six of their Soul Gem blocks.

Sayaka

Sayaka's stats are focused on Life and Attack however, her Soul Gem quickly becomes tainted faster than the other girls' and her Smash and Finish stats are fairly low. Her special attack inflicts damage on the enemy while also changing one random type of her Soul Gem Blocks to blue. Playing with Sayaka can be difficult as her special can create more Soul Gems and can cause her to repeatedly use her special, quickly turning her to a Witch.

Mami

Mami's stats focus on Smash and Finish and while she lacks a high Attack stat, she has average stats in other areas. Her special, Tiro Finale, inflicts a massive amount of damage and destroys all of her opponent's Soul Gems.

Homura

Homura (her appearance is that of the early time-lines) has fairly average stats in all areas but Speed and Magi, which she specializes in. Her special attack inflicts damage and causes her opponent to be unable to do anything for 15 seconds.

Kyoko

Kyoko has average stats in all areas but Attack and Speed which make her the best character to make Soul Gem combos with. Her special attack inflicts damage and removes all of her opponent's Grief Seeds.
