Harry Potter Magic Awakened is an MMORP gacha style action based card game, prioritizing its multiplayer features as its main standing appeal. And with a ranked mode for both solo and duo play relying heavily on card choice, players may be wondering: ‘is Harry Potter Magic Awakened pay to win?’
Here is everything to know.
Harry Potter Magic Awakened is pay to win to a certain degree — but it’s not so bad. The gacha elements of the game do determine a lot, but this doesn’t mean players cannot win without paying. The game is skill based, requiring players to deck build prudently and understand the game to achieve victory. Therefore, even without some cards, players are more than capable of deck building and achieving victory without brand new legendaries.

The issue with the game is that it utilizes a level system for card units, which require players to pull multiple of the same unit. And only by pulling multiple of the same unit can players level up the card, which provides more health and damage stats, thereby directly influencing a player’s capability to win. This makes the game pay to win to a certain degree.
But the great news is many of the top ranking players manage to reach the highest rank without maxing out cards. This means players should be more than fine grinding out the game without paying.
Of course, the degree of pay to win isn’t bad at all. In fact, the game is very free to play friendly, especially at a relatively casual level. Harry Potter Magic Awakened provides great rewards through daily and seasonal missions, which should allow most players to acquire their desired legendary cards with relative ease — so long as they’re patient.
The magic card shop even allows players to purchase legendary cards, which cycle out every couple of days. Players purchase the cards with coins, the free in game currency.
The issue all comes back to the level up system. Players can still achieve victory, but the looming existence of a pay to win mechanic built into the game always stares the player in the face.
In addition, gems, the micro transaction purchasable currency, can be used for practically every aspect of the game. This by itself makes the game pay to win, or at least pay to skip.
Harry Potter Magic Awakened is definitely a little pay to win, but it’s not very severe in the pay to win spectrum. In other words, players should have a perfectly fine time going about the game a free to play. Therefore, for players who are hesitating to play the game because of the pay to win mechanics, don’t worry too much. The game is still very much worth playing, especially for those who have friends to play with.
Even a handful of the players in the highest ranks don’t have incredibly high level cards, which speaks volumes to the game’s free to play friendly nature.
