This newly released survival rogue-like action game developed by Wondersquad is free to play and is available to download from the Play Store. Your goal in IMAE Guardian Girl is to battle monsters and in doing so your character will become stronger.
The catch? Your character has lost her memory, so you will have to acquire memory fragments along the way to help her.
Gameplay
The gameplay in IMAE Guardian Girl is really simple. Use the circle joystick on the left-hand side of your screen to run around the map, while avoiding the numerous monsters trying to attack you.

Your attack will be automatic, there is no icon on the screen to shoot. Monsters will appear in waves and if they touch you, you will lose health, and eventually die.
Additional items will become available during gameplay that will help you survive.
During gameplay, IMAE power replenishment icons will be displayed on your screen. These look like blue flames with eyes and will break if you continuously strike them. Running over it will replenish your IMAE power.
You are also able to replenish your IMAE power by tapping on the right-hand-side corner of your screen when you are running low, this will forfeit the buff, however, as you can only do this while the buff pop-up screen is displayed.

If your IMAE power has run out and you choose a skill, the failure rate will be displayed on the left-hand side of the pop-up screen. See the image below:

Small piles of blue dust will be dropped by monsters you have defeated; these will give you 3 buffs to choose from during gameplay, such as reduced cooldown speed for your skill, various attack modes, and speed increase. There are numerous buffs available to choose from.
When choosing buffs, it is important to take into account the type of weapon you have equipped. The more shots you are able to fire at once, the better your character will be able to survive the ongoing waves of monsters.

During IMAE Guardian Girl gameplay, use your secondary skill to help you throughout the game. This icon is displayed on the right-hand side of your screen while in you are in the attack zones.

As the waves of monsters increase, they become harder to defeat, and it will require you to choose buffs that have significant damage increases for your character.
On the Flourish map, a circle can be seen in the middle of the screen as indicated in the image below:

You are able to stand on this circle after defeating a certain number of monsters; this will increase gameplay speed and monsters will attack in earnest.
Be warned though, you should ensure you have the necessary weapons and buffs for this feature, as the monsters are ruthless!
Lanterns appear on the map at random and breaking these will give you health. A clock will give you more time if you pick it up. The clock drops after defeating certain monsters as well.
A sun icon, when destroyed, summons the next wave of monsters immediately.
Take note of red circles or lines that appear on the ground, these circles will deal significant damage to your character if you are standing in the circle.

These circles are most likely to appear when there is a big boss on the map, or monsters that are harder to kill. When a boss appears, the music playing will change and can be used as an indicator of when they appear.
When you reach level 3, the shop feature becomes available, as well as the summon feature. Level 5 opens the Moon Garden.
The Moon Garden enables you to choose a memory fragment that you have activated throughout the game; memory fragments are acquired by playing the Flourish map.
As you choose your buffs on a level, the game automatically saves the buffs as a memory fragment.
Moon Garden is not for the faint-hearted, wave upon wave of monsters will attack, and you will not be able to choose buffs during this gameplay.
Abyss of Paradoxes is similar to the Flourish map. There are 12 levels that will give you various rewards once you have completed the level.
Photo: Wondersquad
You will be able to choose buffs and try and survive. The difference is the time limit required to vanquish the monsters. Each level has a time limit and if you are not able to complete the level in the allotted time given, you will not receive any rewards.
Flourish Map requires sun stone currency to play, you can obtain this by waiting for the timer or refilling with Elixer earned from completing quests or you can also use Jade pieces to buy an entrance.
Moon garden requires a moon to enter, you can also use Jade pieces to buy extra moons.
Abyss of Paradoxes requires keys to play, and you can also use Jade pieces to buy additional keys.

Moving On Up
There are various ways to give yourself an extra advantage in IMAE Guardian Girl. One of these is to procure decent equipment. Each item has various buffs that will help you become stronger.
With rarity playing a very important role in equipment, for example, it is better to have heroic items than equip an item that is rare.
Another way to make your character stronger is by leveling up your Attributes.
Photo: Wondersquad
This is an important factor, as all leveling attributes are in any game. IMAE Guardian Girl is no different. A few of these attributes are HP, Attack, Exp, Skill damage (fire, ice, light, and twilight), and Critical Hit Chance, among others.
Leveling up your proficiency is based on leveling up your equipment. This helps boost your character’s HP, Defense, Attack, Experience, Crit, and Critical Hit Damage.
Equipment synthesis involves having 3 of the exact same rarity items and evolving them into a higher rarity level.
Photo: Wondersquad
Each rarity item in IMAE Guardian Girl then gives you additional buffs, depending on which rarity level they are at.
For example, having an item at an uncommon level will only increase your attack by 15%, whereas having the same item at a rare level will increase your attack by 15%, as well as increase your damage skills by 10%.
Conclusion
IMAE Guardian Girl is by far a fun action game that will keep you on your toes, and I would recommend it to those gamers out there that enjoy using strategy techniques and fighting enemies!
