These dungeon crawlers have largely stayed in Japan and have released on various SEGA platforms like the Mega Drive, Game Gear and Saturn.

In a miraculous move by Idea Factory, the latest game in the series will be localised for Western markets as Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy and release on July 29th 2025 for PS4, PS5 and Switch. The game can be pre-ordered on numerous online retailers now, and there’s also a special edition version that includes an art book, soundtrack, reversible cover and more.
