Magikmon: catch, train and battle at a school of magic
Magikmon is a turn-based monster-catching RPG from Ravalmatic in which a new student explores a magic school, captures wild creatures and battles rival wizards with them. The game's own bestiary lists 15 Magikmon split into three classes — Classic, Tech and Spectre — and the classes beat each other in a loop, so the order you send creatures into a fight matters as much as their level. The story runs from an introduction titled "First day at school" through six chapters, each built around a different teacher, to a final chapter called "Hidden in the shadow". It is laid out for a tall 600 × 800 screen and runs in a desktop or phone browser.

What sets Magikmon apart
A three-way class loop
Classic Magikmon beat Spectre, Tech beat Classic, and Spectre beat Tech. The school logo is drawn as a reminder of that cycle.
Creatures from myths and gadgets
Classic entries borrow from old pantheons (Cernunnos, Belona, a Leprechaun), while Tech ones parody modern habits, such as Selfaholic, who grows stronger with every selfie.
Teachers as chapter bosses
Instructors such as Selene da Lúa, celebrity teacher Joel Mars and Freja of Tecnomagic each test you, leading up to the principal's final evaluation.
Status effects and cures
Battles can inflict VENOM or HACK states. The item list includes a cure for each, a full-life potion and temporary boosts to ATTACK, DEFENSE and AIM.
Tips for Magikmon
- Bring one creature of each class. With a Classic, a Tech and a Spectre on the team you can always swap in whatever counters the opponent.
- Trap late in the fight. The in-game tutorial says the weaker a Magikmon is, the easier it is to capture.
- Do not waste traps on trainers. Magikmon owned by other wizards cannot be captured, so save traps for wild ones.
- Free a slot before catching a seventh. The team holds six; the game will ask you to release one if you capture more.
- Carry an antidote. It is the item that cancels the VENOM state; a different item clears HACK.
Who is Magikmon for?
Monster-collecting RPG fans
Players who like catching creatures, building a party and planning around type matchups.
Phone players
The portrait layout and tap-to-move input work with the phone held in one hand.
Players who want a story with an ending
Eight named chapters give the adventure a clear start and finish instead of an endless loop.
Progress, levels and the team
Magikmon has no points total. Progress is measured by the chapter you have reached and by your team: Magikmon gain levels from battles, and a teacher who beats you tells you to level up before trying again. A captured creature fills one of six team slots, and the bestiary records the 15 species you can meet. Each of the three save slots keeps its own run.
