The WhatsNext verdict
Magic Wand is a short, beautiful oddity for players who want a surreal RPG daydream rather than polished combat or a conventionally satisfying quest. Come for the colors and music, then stay for the strange little world hiding inside its broken narrative.
What it does best
A warm, strange daydream you can wander through
A dreamlike RPG structure that refuses to behave normally
A handmade visual world unlike any conventional RPG
Music that makes the wandering feel enchanted
What might put you off
Opaque, awkward progression
Uncomfortable movement and camera handling
The setup
What you are walking into
Machine to process your sensations into trains and fields the monster people moving 'cross are getting lost and found again. An exciting capsule toy JRPG for you.
