Mahou Shoujo Taisen -ZANBATSU- (aka Magica Wars -ZANBATSU-) is a free to play Vita game that was originally released on March 27, 2014. The player controls "???" [Amane Sakaki], a young girl who has lost her memories with the exception of one, the mission that she needs to carry out; which is something that she still doesn't understand. She is accompanied by her misaki "??" [Yamada] on her quest to find the other forty seven magical girls. In addition, the game also inspired a TV anime series that aired between April through September 2014 in Japan.
Trophy wise, this game is relatively both easy and time consuming due to the nature of grinding specialties, meeting new magical girls, completing specific in-game challenges, etc. However, you should keep in mind that there is also a trophy that requires the player to log in for ten days. In addition, specific updates to the game add trophies to the game's base trophy list (albeit not as DLC trophies unlike most games).
