Gameplay

Mystic Formula is a multidirectional shoot 'em up game. It's a "run-and-gun" game that takes place in an anime version of the Wild West. The artwork was done by Kunihiro Abe. It's bright and attractive, giving the game a 90's vibe to this day.

Reception

Mystic Formula received mixed reviews. Famitsu's four reviewers considered the game too difficult. Hardcore Gaming 101's Kurt Kalata praised the game's artwork and cutscenes, but harshly criticized its graphics and level design.
