Maglam Lord Reviews
The funky settings of the world of Maglam Lord is somewhat weird but appreciated. Sadly, the variety of the content becomes too repetitive due to the lack of variable maps, recycled character motions, a short number of skills to learn and most attacks require the players to mash and grind buttons in quick succession to do more damage than not. There is no value in multiple playthroughs either so overall the game feels like an empty can at most.

Maglam Lord is a game I really want to like. It has strong aesthetics, a cute premise, and a deep weapon customization system. It’s the elements around them that I’m not that fond of. A good JRPG needs a good story to encourage you to see it through to the end, but its plot and characters are sadly not that great. The camera issues during combat also didn't help matters much. Don't get me wrong, this game isn't a poor showing and I’m sure there’s someone out there who will gel with this title and have a great time, but I can’t say I’m among them.
Maglam Lord is a beautiful game full of character and wacky moments, but it is bogged down by repetitive gameplay.
