Magical Showdown- Pre-Alpha Test

Magical Showdown is a team-based arena brawler all about Magical Girls (and others) beating the snot out of anything that stands in the way of their dreams! Take a team of three, transform with style, and plunge into a fast-paced competition with three OTHER teams of three to accomplish the given objective first! A game for those that like cool costumes, easy to understand goals, and fun team play, you fight, run, and ally with (then maybe betray) your enemies in order to take down all comers!

Pick a character, and go in with wicked melee combat- to accomplish your goals, you'll have to get up close and personal! Designed for players seeking fast-paced, yet controllable team combat, you'll have to keep on your toes to keep track of both your allies and enemies.

• A Myriad of Moves: Whether death of a thousand cuts or hitting like a truck, mix light and heavy attacks up to deliver the pain! Discover freestyle combos and work with your teammates to make any enemies regret challenging you!
• Special Skills: When you really need to change the pace, that's when you break out the Special techniques. Whether offensive, defensive, or to support your allies in a variety of ways, these skills will for sure cause opponents to think twice about messing with you.
• Defensive Techniques: Block it out, Roll away, or Burst enemies off of you with an all-directional attack to make sure that your pretty face isn't injured by any brutes!
• Play Your Way!: Use Equipment from the Locker to adjust your stats or gameplay style! You can have up to three equipped before a match- just make sure you can afford it.
• Multiple Ways To Win: While the goal is to score more points than your rival teams, there's more than one way to do that! Whether you focus on big enemies, small enemies, or just be a brat and play spoiler to steal their hard work, as long as you get the points in the end, it's all good!

With a variety of monsters AND rivals all out for your hide, you'll have to move quick and fight smart to take home the win! Prove who's will reigns supreme!

This type of game is one that will be reliant on the feedback of the community to become its best self, so we're opening the floor early to players to test, play, and suggest improvements of various elements of the game as we continue to update it and push forward towards a major release!
