Description

In a separate time axis
from the one where Madoka became an extra-dimensional entity.
There, five magical girls still fought against the witches.

They still try to defeat every witch and familiar of this world,
as well as Walpurgisnacht.
Yes, in this time axis,
In order to defeat the witches, the five have become one.

Despair and prayer.
Reality and parallel reality.
Trust and betrayal.
A moment and an eternity.

Your will, and the determination of the five magical girls
will become one
in order to fulfill the wishes of all time.

In this time axis' world, will Mami be saved?
Will it end without Madoka's disappearance?

Come forth, with the world-saving wish in your heart,
Embark on a journey, hand in hand with the five magical girls.

How to register.

The game will be centered around the anime story. Players will be allowed to create their own magical girl, and form a team with the original five magical girls from the cast. Kyubey is not playable, but as an instructor who explains when events occurs. The game will feature a 6 player party system, using your original character or the cast characters. Parties can be made of any combination of original characters and cast characters. Two or more of the same characters may coexist on a team, so, for example, a team may contain two Madokas. A team may also consist solely of original characters. Players can freely travel around Mitakihara alone or with a party as they finish quests, in a way similar to 'Sugoroku'. There will be quests centered around past and future magical girls. Certain quests may require certain cast characters, or a certain amount of players. Players will be put into separate servers in the game and each world only contains up to 6 players at a time. When each player finishes all their quests, they may participate in a massive raid against Walpurgis Night that exceeds 6 players. Unlike many MMOs, there won't be a standard leveling system. Instead, as the player progresses through the game, their apparel will become stronger and level up. Once the players defeat Walpurgisnacht, the game resets. The game will be free-to-play with an item store. There are 6 parts which can be customized by players. Players can change weapons, clothes and accessories of their magical girls. Rare clothes and accessories may also improve her abilities. Even the 5 magical girls in game can change weapon. Since magical girls equip skill cards which must be used together with specific type of weapon, players have to consider how to pair them, however.

Gameplay Mechanics

Click the target icon at the top of the screen to begin questing. The grief seed over the city leads to a list of quests.
You've got 50 max AP. It takes 10 AP to do a quest. AP regenerates 1 per 5 minutes. You also get full AP upon level up.
You can't change the clothes of the canon magical girls. You can equip them with accessories. If you manage to find enough glasses, you could give them to everyone. However, a bikini, for example, can only be used by player-made characters.
It's speculated that the critical% affects the probability of special skill activation. Homuhomu was observed using her tank lorry attack more often after getting a 20% crit gun.
The experience points obtained from each maze increases with the stage level, for example for level 1 the exp. is 100, level 2 is 110, and level 3 is 120.
To obtain the purple ticket (better chance to get rare cards) in large numbers, the player will have to use "play with others" (accessible from the home screen, costs 10AP per play), which is similar to PvP (other player controlled by NPC). The number of cards received increases with the number of players defeated and the current rank level, and the rank level point is obtained by defeating at least one player per play. The player will also obtain coins that could be used to upgrade weapons.
Players are encouraged to only leave one person in the party when not playing, so as to allow other players to win easily in the "play with others" match. This is called ぼっち放置 or 紳士放置 by the current players. No penalty will be given if your character lost.
It is advisable to upgrade your weapon with as much material weapon cards as you can to save on coins. Upgraded weapons if used as a material will provide extra weapon upgrade exp points, but with a large penalty.
You can form a group of multiple characters, even while playing solo, using the change characters button with Madoka's silhouette on the right side of the lobby.
