Sei Madou Monogatari (approx. Holy Story of Sorcery) is the latest game in the Madou Monogatari series. It was published and developed by Compile Heart, with development support by ZeroDiv. Due to the original Madou Monogatari cast being owned by Sega under the Puyo Puyo series, a new cast was created for the game, albeit with many similarities to characters from both the Compile and Sega entries of the franchise. The game was also the first Madou Monogatari game to see an English-language release, under the title Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God, published by Aksys Games in North America and Rising Star Games in Europe, abandoning the “The Witchcraft Saga” name used in the packaging materials of the PC-98 Madou Monogatari 123. This game was the first handheld-exclusive entry in the series (though it was later ported to PC in 2018 by Ghostlight), released for the Playstation Vita console in 2013.

The game differs greatly from previous Madou games in tone and gameplay setup, with a tone closer to the Puyo Puyo series and more conventional roguelike mechanics.

Gameplay

The game is no longer in a first-person perspective, instead playing closer to games such as Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, with a bird's-eye view and turn-based navigation and conflict working in conjunction. Kuu has to be fed to remain in combat. Weapons and shields can be equipped. Without them, Pupuru is able to punch enemies and chests. Pupuru can learn skills from Spell Books, which give her skills that can be used a limited number of times. Kuu can also be taught skills, notably crafting items together. Items collected may be thrown at enemies, consumed, fed to Kuu, or made into curries.

Notes

  • Copies of the PS Vita version in Western releases came with a bib, a plate, and a spoon for curry.
