Infinite Magicraid Review: Is It Worth Playing?

Infinite Magicraid is a mobile turn-based RPG game released on the 6th of September, 2022. With it being a gacha game, you already know I had to play it. If nothing, then just to test out my luck on this one too. Sounds like I have a problem but I promise you, it’s not. Anyways, we’re doing it all from an F2P perspective so there is no harm done.

Gameplay

When it comes to the gameplay, Infinite Magicraid in many ways is similar to other beloved gacha games that I used to play, like Summoners War and Epic Seven. Of course, the art style is different but the mechanics are there. So if you ever played one of those, you’ll have no problem adjusting to this one too. In case you didn’t, worry not, I got you covered.

The game starts with an introduction to the world of Infinite Magicraid aka all the tutorials you need to get the basics. After that ordeal, the next move is for you to continue doing the stages of the campaign. 

As you advance deeper into the game, there will be a few more tutorials but eventually, they’ll stop. As I’ve mentioned above, it’s a gacha game which means there are summonings and I have to report that my summoning luck is bad as always. 

On the bright side, I’m happy to report that Infinite Magicraid has a pity system. Which is a good and bad thing at the same time — you get something even if you have the same luck as me but that also means you have the same luck as me (oops). 

The rest of the experiences in the game can be split into the PVE and PVP. If you’re a fan of PVP you’ll have to know that it can’t be done without doing extensive PVE.

PVE

This is the most important part of the game logically and that’s what you’ll be doing no matter what. Spending money on the game won’t save you from this part.

All of the characters need equipment and the quality of it depends on what stages you are doing at a certain point. My advice to you is to go all in, don’t save any resources for later. Invest everything in the characters to make them as strong as possible, farm the dungeons, improve the pieces of equipment, and rinse and repeat. 

What dungeon you should farm the most is going to be dependent on what monsters you are focusing on. And to the question of what monster you should focus on, I say focus on whatever you feel like. 

I’m not claiming to know what you are going to need for the end game but I can tell you what I’ve been using so far and it’s been working most of the time. 

What I like to run is one shielder, one healer, and 3 damage dealers. With one of the dmg dealers being the attack buffer. Also, I would suggest if you have to pick on who to focus more, I would say to focus more on damage dealers. 

The faster you kill the boss, the fewer the chances of something going wrong. There are a lot of other dungeons that have various mats that can boost your stats but don’t build teams for them just yet. 

If you spread your resources across many monsters, you’ll be stuck doing low levels for a while.

PVP

There are a few Arenas and occasional PVP events. To be in the top PVP rankings, you’ll either have to whale a lot or invest even more time into building all kinds of monsters. The higher the ranks, the harder the enemies are and the higher the gear requirements are. 

Usually, the rewards for the PVP aren’t that great unless you get to the top. So most of the time you’ll be doing it for the sake of competitiveness. 

Final Word of Wisdom

If you like games that include luck/chance, you will really like this one. For the past few weeks, I’ve been grinding it constantly and building my teams. Soon enough I’ll have well-rounded teams that I can take against other players. 

Just as I’ve said above multiple times, the game is a gacha game and that means there are gaps between F2P and P2W. There will be tons of moments where you might be tempted to pull out the wallet in order to speed up the process of getting better but I have to warn you to tread carefully. 

No matter how much you spend, there’ll always be that one guy who spends like there’s no tomorrow. So just enjoy the game and if you’re gonna spend, spend responsibly. Good luck with summoning and getting good gear.
