With hopes of becoming a Great Mage, Fia travels to the same Magic Artes academy her grandmother studied at only to find complete chaos with her fellow classmates and even stranger teachers in this dungeon crawling RPG from Idea Factory International called Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy.
Step into the magical halls of the Ancient Magic Academy alongside Fia, a lucky young girl who’s recently enrolled to chase her dream of becoming a Great Mage. Developed by Sting with backing from Compile Heart, and published in the West by Idea Factory International, this fang-favorite dungeon-crawler RPG blends real-time, turn-based combat with randomly generated dungeon layouts and a charming school-life simulator atmosphere.
As you guide Fia through enchanted labyrinths, you’ll cast Magic Artes, gather Elemental Orbs to unleash powerful Great Magic Artes, and manage her arsenal through the Grimoire’s skill tree system. Outside the dungeons, interact with classmates, tackle side quests, cook curry for buffs, and synthesize new gear using items from your adventures. All of this comes wrapped in stylish visuals, whimsical storytelling, and a nostalgic legacy that traces back to the series’ roots in retro Japanese dungeon crawlers
