Maiden and Spell
Maiden & Spell is a one-on-one magical girl aerial projectile battler, featuring a colorful cast of ladies fighting with fantastic spells.
Battling with magic is simple! Fire your spells, hit your opponent, and don’t get hit yourself! Each maiden is color-coded and has a set of abilities unique to them, activated at a press of a button. There aren’t any complicated combos or intricate inputs or grabs or melee attacks or block buttons! Just a 3-pixels-wide hitbox, a lot of shiny bullets, and your own dodging skills.
You can fight against a friend in Versus Mode, or test your skill against a series of opponents and bullet hell boss attacks in Story Mode.
An abyss on the edge of the map, said to be the most dangerous dungeon in the world… The Great Circle. A group of young adventurers travel down into its depths in search of a powerful treasure.
Awaiting them are cute monsters, nonsensical architecture, and an ancient city once known as The Kingdom of Stars….
- A unique versus game with a whimsical fantasy aesthetic
- 8 cute maidens to play as, each with their own magical attacks, abilities, and playstyles
- Versus Mode, where you can play 1 v 1 matches against your friends
- Story Mode, fight against a series of opponents mixed in with 70+ challenging attack patterns to defeat
- Extra unlockables and optional challenges that will truly test your skills
- A JRPG-battle-theme inspired soundtrack by composer Steel_plus

The only online game where ping doesnt matter because your opponent is better than you anyway

As a singleplayer experience or as a game to play with friends, absolutely recommend, without a shadow of a doubt. The game's community borderline ruins the experience though, especially on the official server. Toxicity and snakes galore. Stick to friends or play the singleplayer experience.

the idea of a pvp touhou-like may sound horrible on paper, but when executed properly can be such a unique experience. Maiden and Spell is a perfect example of this. With an adorable art style, a clean learning curve, a wacky cast of characters, and a loving die hard community. I just cant put the game down! Plus it somehow runs on my crappy laptop!!

As a rabid Touhou and fighting game fanatic, all I gotta say is this game ♥♥♥♥♥! HARD!!!

A bullet hell fighting game is an interesting enough concept to stand out on its own, and Maiden and Spell is pretty fun by any measure. The only caveat is that the story mode, while fun, is fairly short at 2-3 hours. Multiplayer is the main draw, though there is plenty of replayability solo if you like challenging yourself on higher difficulties.
(I was going to end this review with "(character) is best girl btw". But I couldn't decide who's best girl. They're all best girl.)

It's neat! I like it. As a fighting game enjoyer (but only Bullet Hell curious) it's a good fun romp if you drag a friend or two in that you enjoy being a smidge competitive with. If you have at least one friend you like duking it out with, pop it on a laptop and break into their house with it.
As someone whose Bullet Hell curious but doesn't play that particular genre I liked it as a sampling of what the genre has to offer. If I had more reason to play more bullet hells I'd probably give this a bigger shot to get through more of the single player content.

Rabbit and Steel's cooler older sister.
In exchange for co-op you get pvp.
Trade raid mechanics for actually interesting bullet patterns. (please rabbit and steel dlc have cooler bullet patterns this game's are way more interesting)
less playable characters but they feel more engaging to play as.
Also i think this game might be the first of its kind (it isnt but damn its still cool). A bullet hell fighting game taken literally. And its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ peak for it.
Also i got jumpscared by the fifth story mode being you know what if youve played. Im pretty sure rabbit and steel doesnt have one, so seeing one here was a VERY fun surprise.
right i forgot the part where im meant to like say the things i like.
uhhhhh pretty much all of it?
Anyway give mino money receive fun yum.
update played a bit more ARE THESE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LAST WORDS PLEASE TELL ME THEYRE LAST WORDS
UPDATE TEN SECONDS LATER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH BABY THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
