Magical Drop VI (NSP, XCI) ROM

Magical Drop VI (マジカルドロップ6) is the sixth mainline entry in the Magical Drop series, released in April 2023 for the Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam and GOG, with versions for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox ONE coming at a later date.

It was published by Forever Entertainment, under license from Magical Drop rightsholder G-Mode, and was developed by Highball Games and Storm Trident. A limited edition physical version was planned for worldwide release, but ultimately only released in Japan.

Magical Drop VI contains six single-player modes, on top of local and online multiplayer. More modes and features are slated to be added through free DLC throughout 2023 and 2024. Magical Drop VI will, after a series of free DLC updates, include every character from Magical Drop III. Additionally, the final DLC will add Burnz and two mysterious new characters.

The renowned Japanese arcade game returns! Take your pick from a roster of characters – World, the Magical Land’s Overseer, the powerful Justice, or the cunning Black Pierrot – and participate in the varied gameplay modes. Tackle tricky puzzles or defeat tough adversaries in head-to-head matches. Embark on a gripping journey full of twists and turns in Story or Path of Destiny modes. Take on your buddies and the elite players online.

GAME MODES

• Story Mode – A board game mode inspired by Magical Drop III’s Adventure mode. The player explores Magical Land, viewing dialogue between the various characters and engaging in multiple gameplay scenarios.
• Match Mode – The series-standard 1P vs CPU gauntlet. The player selects a character and battles both unlocked and “mystery” characters.
• Survival Mode – The series-standard “endless” play mode. The player attempts to survive as long as possible, while not having to contend with an opponent.
• Puzzle Mode – Based on Flash Mode from Magical Drop II, the player races against the clock to complete preset puzzles. Should time expire, the ceiling rapidly descends in an attempt to eliminate the player.
• Path of Destiny – Unlocked by clearing Story Mode, Path of Destiny is a more direct take on Magical Drop III’s Adventure mode. Players attempt to reach the end of the map, contending with three rivals along the way.
• Caravan Mode – Unlocked by finishing a Survival Mode session with more than 100,000 points, Caravan Mode challenges the player to gain the highest possible score within 2 or 5 minutes.
• Multiplayer – Play with your friends locally, or face players from all around the world online.
