Meikyu-bey (Maze) in the world (世界中の迷宮べぇ) is a fanmade JRPG based on the anime. We can control 5 of the 14 available magical girls (5 from the anime, and 9 without names). The goal in this game is defeating all the witches in a scenario similar to a maze, leveling up our characters without Homura getting out of MP (magical points).

A special feature of this game is, if the situation is in danger (running out of MP, for example), we can travel in time, reseting to level 1 of all magical girls except Homura, and start again the game, but with Homura stronger than before. It's however still possible to defeat the game without ever having to reset the timeline.

Gameplay

The game starts in the streets where various options are shown. The first one is where characters can be selected, you click them once and then select the space of the small square below where the magical girl is going to be (Maximum of 5 girls.) The second option is to save the game, it will not save automatically, so make sure you come back from the maze once in a while to save. The next option is to Reset the timeline, it's recommendable to just click it when you are almost out of MP or when various of your characters have died. When we're ready, we enter on the maze selecting the last option and we have to go forward the maze and fight the enemies (the familiars and witches) around the place. When we touch a familiar or a witch, a fight will start.

The main options we can do with every character in a fight are the following: attack (obviously, do damage to the enemy, it reduces 1 MP per use), magic (open a list of special abilites which the character can make, all of them consume the number of MP it has besose.), defense (reduce the enemy damage it'll do to you), and escape from the fight (doesn't work for witches). When we finish a fight, all the characters will receive some experience points depending of the enemy and HP will be restored (but not MP). If a character ran out of HP during the fight, they will not receive experience points after.

While there's no explicit armor stat, there's level-based defense, causing characters to deal less then stated ATK damage if s/he is too low level comparing to the target.

Homura and company in a fight with two familiars

Every character has a number of HP (health points) and MP (magic points). When the HP reaches to zero, the character won't do anything until someone revives him or until the fight is over and a certain number of MP will be decreased in order to revive the character. When the MP reaches to zero, the character will definitely die and turn into a witch (we can fight against it or avoid it in the maze).

The game can be ended by many ways:

  • The HP of all characters reaches to zero in a fight.
  • The MP of all characters reaches to zero in a fight.
  • Homura's MP reaches to zero.

When we defeat a witch, we'll get a grief seed, it can be used for increasing MP of all characters (a lot, but not the maximum). In the maze, we open the menu, go to the third option, press "okay", and press again "okay" to confirm it; then the MP of all characters is increased or restored.

You may cast magic even when your character not have enough MP; However, doing so will definitely turn her into a witch. It is almost impossible to defeat it in early stage to prevent collecting grief seeds this way. But if your team members are in high level, it is possible.

List of abilities

Mami's list of abilities

Here's a list of magical abilities of all the characters we can do when we select "Magic".

(Note: This section needs to be translated from the game, and many of the abilities needs to be tested to find out their effects; other characters' abilities coming soon)

Akemi Homura

Homura lacks any supporting skills for the team, matching her lonewolf style in the anime. She's also the weakest of everyone statwise without her timeline hopping ability to make up for it.

Madoka starts weak but has the highest growth rate comparing to everyone and will start to shine from level 70 onward. She is capable of dealing out the highest magic damage per turn but this exhaust her mana reserve quickly while having the lowest ratio of magic damage per mana. She makes a very good buffing character. She also has the only targetable damage buff. Since there are more then one ways to use her in battle, it is best not to spread and stick to a certain style as the circumstance require.

Sayaka has the most defensive oriented skills in the game, fitting her wish of healing.

List of enemies

Regular witches and familiars

Traveling through the maze you will meet this witches and familiars. Familiars will attack you before you can reach the witch. Every next witch is stronger then one you fought before, and so do familiars.

  • Gertrud ( Familiars: Anthony, Adelbert )

  • Elly (Kirsten) ( Familiars: Daniyyel & Jennifer, Anja )
  • Gisela ( Familiars: Dora )

  • Unnamed witch

All magic girls except Homura (if it happends you'll lose the game) and Madoka (see below) will become this witch if their MP reaches 0. Sayaka also transform into this witch, not into Oktavia von Seckendorff.

This witch is stronger then Gisela, but weaker then Elsa Maria. Her strength doesn't depend on what magic girl was transformed and what level she was.

  • Kriemhild Gretchen

Madoka will become this witch if her MP reaches 0.

She is much stronger than Walpurgis Night and easily kill team, that can defeat Walpurgis Night in few rounds.
