Magic is not a new idea, given the fact that even ancient people believed that it’s possible for humans to wield extraordinary powers. However, modern literature brought the concept to a whole new level, given the fact that there’s an entire genre that deals with fantasy worlds and magic spells. Even so, there are plenty of unexplored ideas that could yield interesting results.

MAGICAL×SPIRAL is a 2D platformer that challenges you to climb to the top of a tower and reach the world occupied by godly beings. The way to the top is full of obstacles, on the other hand, and there are all sorts of enemies you have to defeat. To make matters even worse, the tower itself is full of traps, so you have to watch your step at all times.

Your character has a few spells at her disposal that come in handy when things get rough, although you have to use them wisely to avoid wasting energy. Some are more effective against groups of enemies, while others deal more damage to single targets. You can also score combos by combining normal attacks and spells in quick succession for additional damage.

Jumping and climbing the tower occupies most of your time, and it’s a pretty smooth adventure, depending on how used you are with the genre. You can perform double-jumps to move around much quicker, but you have to watch out for collapsing platforms and various other traps. Enemies have different attack patterns as well, so it’s important to keep that in mind when you encounter them.

Lastly, the graphics are not impressive in any way, especially if you are used to the finer things. The textures are low-resolution, the animations are simple, and the special effects are kept to a minimum as well. However, the greatest annoyance is the fact that most of the levels look the same from start to finish, which makes it difficult to feel like you are making any progress.

In the end, the fact that your character learns new skills and gets stronger along the way is the best thing about MAGICAL×SPIRAL, because everything else is rather sub-par. Hence, it’s worth your time only if you are prepared to deal with the shortcomings.
