Ancient Magic: Bazuu! Mahou Sekai

About

Ancient Magic: Bazuu! Mahou Sekai is a turn-based RPG where you take on the role of a kid chasing their father's legacy as a mage. After swearing an oath to your mom, you enroll at Selas Magic School where you pick your class and mentor. Team up with a bard, knight, priest, and others as you complete quests to explore ancient ruins and unlock spells. The story follows your efforts to stop Kuroizel and the Veranede Tribe while navigating a straightforward fantasy plot. Combat and dialogue options are basic but functional, with a focus on leveling up and equipping better gear. The game leans into old-school charm with pixel art and a paper-thin story that gains oddball momentum in the second half. Players report a hidden post-credits sequence and an in-game ad for another Hot-B title, adding to the retro weirdness. While the ending feels rushed and under-explained, the post-"THE END" content offers a minor surprise. Adjusting the speed setting in options is strongly recommended to avoid tedious pauses. With a small but dedicated cult following, it’s a curiosity for fans of 90s Japanese RPGs willing to overlook its rough edges.
