« I love Madoka but this game is pretty crap. Just watch the series again and get into horse racing if you really need a fix idk »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played1« Yo guys, how about we make 0.75% for rate-up, 200 pity, no 50/50, 5 dupes, barely give out any currency besides standard banner, and have players thank us for spitting in their faces? Welcome to Madoka Exedra. »👎 anonymous review · 41 h played211« Very abusive in its monetization. Nothing but chores with 0 fun whatsoever. It's a shame, the IP is so good, it deserved an actual game. »👎 anonymous review · 112 h played1« Does not launch, probably because of the anit-cheat. Waited for the game to be downloaded for 1 or 2 hours and then can't play it. When making money is more important than making a game accessible for everyone... Very sad. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played1« MagiReco died for this 85 hour grind where only 1/8th of it is gameplay and gives damn near nothing but moldy breadcrumbs and warm tap water. Things take weeks to unlock as well. Nice to see where standards lie for Aniplex if you're a F2P. »👎 anonymous review · 8 h played1« Im going to kill myself if that movie gets delayed again »👍 anonymous review · 90 h played

Who is it for?
Fans of anime aesthetics and gacha mechanics who don’t mind spending to chase characters will find plenty to love. Story‑driven players should brace for grind fatigue.
Is Madoka Magica Magia Exedra worth it in 2026?
Mostly yes, if its flaws don't put you off: 66% of 1,175 Steam reviews are positive (player score 71/100). Most-praised strength: A story that keeps players hooked. The game is free to play.
Verdict
A visually polished gacha‑RPG with a strong narrative core, but its monetization and grind‑heavy design will push away those seeking depth or fairness. The post‑release surge in positivity (73%) proves the game grabs players early, but the price tag risks alienating the long haul.
