Overview
Mahou Arms is a 3D character-action game for players who want anime combat paired with adult relationship content. It leans stylized and dramatic, balancing battlefield tension with quieter moments at home base.
Story
Earth is nearly lost to an alien force called the 'Locks, and the paramilitary organization GARDA has found its one answer: magical girls. As commander, and a former prisoner of war, you take charge of a small, newly formed unit of these soldiers, guiding them both in preparation and in direct combat to push back the invasion and reclaim the planet.
Gameplay
Play shifts between two modes: hack-and-slash combat where you take direct control of your magical girls against the 'Locks, and base scenes where you build one-on-one bonds with your recruits. Combat is fast and action-focused, while base sequences slow down to let you get to know each soldier through dating-sim style interactions, some leading into adult scenes shown from a close, personal perspective.
Features
- Anime-styled 3D combat with a magical-girl paramilitary setting
- A mixed cast approached through both a commander's and soldier's viewpoint
- Dating sim interactions woven directly into the war narrative
- Animated adult scenes integrated into the base-building portions
Installation
1- Extract to desired location. 2- Click on "launcher.exe" to install and play.
Changelog
v0.4.2036
- Hotfix Build 0.4.2036 is now live! It addresses the following bugs:
- Missions should no longer mistakenly lock when loading a game. This previously required a game restart to fix
- Holster now works after you load a game. This previously required a new game to fix
- Activate Helper Button in Journal now displays the input properly when using gamepad input mode
- Game no longer gets stuck in cinematic mode after pressing "Nevermind" at the bed when there's a queued quest reward present
- NPCs in Exodus's entrance no longer have clones
- Performance in New Inverness has been improved due to a level being mistakenly streamed in at runtime. This also caused the Exodus NPC clone bug
- Game should default to 60fps when running for the first time. (After this update, your settings will reset, but it shouldn't again after this)
- Player should no longer see a pure fog screen when loading into New Inverness briefly
- Projectiles should despawn properly now when their owner is killed
- Hole in floor collision near Exodus entrance fixed
- Default Inventory rewards will now be granted when there's an update to the default inventory items. This means that you will get a bunch of extra potions when you load in from an old save, and your Holster might reset. This is intentional.
