About this game

Magical Beat remixes the puzzle genre by adding in a beat! Drop colored blocks in a match-3 style to the background music’s rhythm with perfect timing to send blocks to your opponent’s screen. Charming 8-bit characters and menus guide you through stages with different BPMs for unique challenges and combo possibilities. Magical Beat features an original Vocaloid soundtrack created by Nico Nico celebrity and prolific sound creator Kikuo, and also popular soundtracks from various works developed and published by Arc System Works, including tracks from "GUILTY GEAR" and "BLAZBLUE" series!

◆Puzzle Dropper meets Rhythm!

Drop the color blocks a.k.a. beatons at the soundtrack's beats and connect 3 or more beatons of the same color to eliminate them! You can then send greyed-out beatons to disrupt your opponent depending on the score obtained from eliminating your beatons.
Clear the beatons on your side faster before they can stack, and send your opponent into beaton hell!

If you missed the beat when dropping the beaton, you end up dismembering the block into pieces and they fall randomly, thus disrupting you from your desired outcome. Pay heed to the Beat Synchro Gauge at the side of the block map, and feel the music!

◆CHAIN time!

The beatons do not get eliminated immediately upon connecting 3 or more of the same color, and remain on the field for a period of time. Use this time to connect even more beatons of the respective color to clear even more at one go!

◆Popular soundtracks from new series including "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-" and more!

Over 100 soundtracks are available for this game! Including popular entries from "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-", "GUILTY GEAR Xrd", "BLAZBLUE", "RIVER CITY" series, and more from other Arc System Works titles!
