[News] Magia Record Simplified Chinese Server Announces Shutdown, Another "FGO-like" Game Bows Out

Recently, another title has been struck from the mobile gaming scene. The Simplified Chinese server for 'Magia Record' has officially announced its shutdown. Based on the popular 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' franchise, its departure has left many in the community feeling nostalgic.

In the NGA community, players noted the game's use of the 'FGO-like' combat system (referring to the turn-based card system popularized by Fate/Grand Order), with some joking about the curse of 'those who imitate FGO often fail.' The discussion largely focused on the game's short lifespan, with many users remarking that it felt like the game hadn't been open for very long.

Players debated the reasons for the shutdown. Beyond the market fatigue of 'FGO-like' gameplay, some criticized the harsh early-game gacha mechanics, with one user stating: 'No pity system is truly a bad civilization; I pulled 400 times without an UP character and just quit.' It was also noted that while the Simplified Chinese server is closing, the Japanese server remains active, with only certain overseas regions being affected.

Ultimately, while the Simplified Chinese server is coming to an end, the existence of an offline version provides a small consolation for fans, offering a relatively decent closure for their time spent with the game.
