Overview

Magical Drop Is Back!!! Yes, the cult-classic returns with all the fast-paced action you expect from the franchise, mixed with modern visuals and multi-player online experiences. The sixth Magical Drop game was developed by French independent studio Golgoth and published by UTV Ignition for Steam in 2012. Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network ports were announced, but ultimately never materialized. The game features a much smaller selection of characters, omits items, and removes Puzzle Mode; however, it adds new online gameplay modes. Characters from the cancelled Data East puzzle game Ghostlop are introduced; these three characters use Ghostlop gameplay instead of traditional Magical Drop mechanics.

Don't buy this. It's broken. It will never be fixed. It worked fine for approximately eight minutes before crashing. After that, I ended up with a host of issues. The game now keeps insisting that I have the demo version. It never remembers my display settings. The menus keep appearing as unreadable glyphs. Don't waste your time with this piece of trash....

**⊕**It's Magical Drop on PC. People have wanted this for a while. **⊖**On occasion, this game will request that I purchase the full version. I've only ever had the full version on my computer, never the demo. Why am I getting the demo’s notifications? Multiplayer has trouble working, game is full of spelling errors and crashes. Voices are unbelievably...

So FRUUUSTRATING! Mainly because it has so much potential, however many key things about the game is broken or lacking. I've had several crashes, no native joystick/gamepad support, alt-tab during a game over causes issues on comming back. The AI on normal is absurdly easy then becomes absurdly difficult (may be on my part, however good old google fails...

Play the older installments of the series.

This one has lots of bugs. It even started to say that i should purchase the game.

it's a good game shame this version is so bad: -does not save settings -insists it's the demo when it clearly isn't -no solo play mode, only vs cpu or players -what the heck is ghostlop? -extremely, legendarily bad translation that tries to cover it up by making fun of itself and failing -very crashy -doesn't save unlocks -achievements don't trigger...
