Gameplay elements
The main gameplay aspect of Life After Magic is reading through dialogue. There are some choices to make along the way, which include which reply to provide to specific questions. It won’t have a massive effect on the plot until you approach the end when you need to deal with the villain.
Visuals and sound
The graphics in Life After Magic consist of three parts. The first is the hazy, pixellated background with a cartoon style. Secondly, you have the characters that appear when they speak, which have much better designs. Finally, there are a few animations and effects now and again. While it may not be a superb representation at times, it does relate to the story.
Ready to save the day
Life After Magic shows what happens when magical heroes no longer need to battle with a life to live. The girls dropped out of school to fight them, and now they need to find jobs to support their lifestyles.
It’s an interesting story with some sense of reality in it, showing the other side of heroes. The graphics could be better, but it’s enough to keep you intrigued.
