Majula Frontier

Majula Frontier is a challenging fantasy RPG in which a group of retired heroes reunites to save their home. The sky over Majula is turning black, the ground is decaying and monsters are returning. You must find and stop the source of the decay and the monsters before the heroes’ home is destroyed.

Missions and combat

For each mission, you take four characters from a roster of 20 into a dungeon to fight monsters. Objectives usually include killing a set number of monsters, rescuing missing people or defeating a powerful boss. The game has light dungeon crawling and 16 main bosses to defeat.

Turn-based combat revolves around skill categories and the last skill used by each character or monster. That skill stays in the target’s memory until another skill is used, and other skills can gain or lose bonuses depending on what the target remembers. Effects can include increased damage, an extra ailment or a single-target skill hitting all enemies.

Characters build stamina from 0 whenever they use a skill or are hit by an enemy skill. At certain thresholds, their damage decreases, the damage they take increases and their chance to resist a fatal hit falls. There are few ways to recover stamina during a mission, so managing skill use is important for survival. When a character runs out of health, they may quit the mission and return to town to rest, leaving the party to continue with one fewer member.

Rebuild Majula

Majula’s town has several areas to rebuild. Once restored, each area produces a steady supply of resources for missions. You can assign injured, tired or idle characters to work in different areas of town, where they earn experience and learn secondary skills.

Develop your characters

Each character has four unique skills that can be levelled up, plus two empty skill slots. Weapons found in dungeons grant a skill when equipped and also provide a random stat bonus. You can also craft weapons from raw materials to fill those slots.

A single playthrough lasts 30+ hours.
