About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

“Even when it hurts, even when it breaks you, a magical girl should always smile, right?”

Dear Magical Girls is a story-driven defense game where you reshape a magical barrier to hold back waves of beasts.

Arin is a magical girl in her fourth year on the job, tasked with protecting the mana stones that keep the city’s magical infrastructure running.

Between sleepless shifts and emergency dispatches, she enters the Otherworld, raises her barrier, and fights off the beasts lurking within.

Control the battlefield by reshaping your barrier

Move the vertices of your barrier to expand or shrink your territory.

Attack enemies with mana cannons that travel along the barrier lines.

Expand your territory to secure more resources.

Shrink the barrier to concentrate your firepower in a smaller area.

Keep buffs inside the barrier, and push harmful debuffs out.

You’ll need to keep reshaping your barrier based on the state of the battlefield and the position of nearby resources.

When things get dangerous, stop time, reposition your vertices, and prepare for the next attack.

Add new vertices to strengthen your weapons

Use the mana gained from expanding your barrier to add new vertices.

More vertices allow you to form more complex barrier shapes, increasing your offensive options.

Upgrade your attack power and attack speed, and build the shape and firepower you need for each wave.

Create new builds with modules and enchants

As the story progresses, new modules and enchants will be unlocked.

Equip new attack modules, and use enchants to enhance the traits of your existing ones.

Reshape your barrier around the movement and attack patterns of your modules.

With each wave, the beasts grow stronger. Victory depends on how you shape your barrier and manage your mana.

The story continues after each mission

After each mission, you’ll return to the city and see Arin’s life as a magical girl.

Meet Charlotte, a veteran magical girl; Lily, a girl who admires magical girls; and the people living throughout the city.

As emergency calls keep coming and mysterious disappearances begin to unfold, Arin draws closer to the truth behind mana, magic, and the magical girls themselves.
