Ma-suru Joshou

About

Ma-suru Joshou is a story-focused role-playing game where battles unfold as turn-based puzzles. Players solve math-based challenges to gain advantages in combat while progressing through a visual novel style narrative. Each decision impacts the story's direction and character relationships. The game emphasizes strategic thinking over raw action, with mechanics that integrate arithmetic logic into enemy encounters. The series approach sets this apart from traditional RPGs, offering a self-contained first chapter that ends on a hook for future installments. Early playtests on indie forums suggest the puzzle design feels approachable yet layered, with over 500 player comments highlighting the "cleverly woven" math elements. Character art and dialogue options also receive frequent praise for adding depth to the tactical core.
