Magic Research 2

Release the next one please

EDIT: The issue is gone! Thanks a lot for the quick reaction. Love the game and can recommend it without any hesitation! The game features many well-designed quality of life improvements, compared to Part 1, without taking the fun out of it. ORIGINAL: Hey there, really loved Magic Research (1). Sadly when i try to open the App it instantly crashes. When that issue is gone i will change my rating :)

I‘m really enjoying this game. Great idea and nicely executed with a sense for details. And it’s a one time buy and no subscription model. Thanks.

I remember loving the first game. Sunk a stupid amount of hours into it. It don’t remember the UI being as painful. Something about this version just doesn’t flow right. Transmuting at the start of each run is a main action but the transmute screen is cumbersome and the inventory becomes a jumbled mess. Each screen requires scrolling but jusssssst a little bit. Like a slightly smaller UI and it would fit on one page.

I like Magic Research so much I bought them both on mobile and on steam. I just wish there was a macOS version.

Love the game but wow it lags and gets choppy in the late game. Tried playing with all the settings, nothing helps.

One of the best idle games out there. The first was an incredible experience and while I preferred that to this sequel. Magic Research 2 is still one of the greatest idle games on the App Store currently. I’ve tried a lot of them. My biggest gripe is there’s a lot more resources to juggle this time around but thankfully the info does get displayed well as long as you find which menu it’s under!

The flow of the game is amazing and addicting. I almost have nothing bad to say. The major problem for me is that the game has a dreadful micromanaging processs at the beginning of each retirement and at many of the feature unlocks. You need to manually and repetitively press the same buttons over and over again each retirement every time you unlock something to set up automation. If you forget, your run is stunted until you remember. I was originally having a blast replaying the game with the post game features, but eventually the lack of automation hurt my interest as it became too much of a chore. My first time clearing this game was probably the most fun I’ve had playing an incremental though.

This game scratches that deep seated itch to find ridiculous patterns to optimizing the workflows without being too cumbersome like Minecraft or factorial feel when playing on the go. I’m not sure how I spent 121 hours on a game like this but here we are. Definitely worth the purchase at double the price, let alone what the developer is charging here.

Can't open game at all. Will change rating when addressed.
