Gastova: The Witches of Arkana

游戏整体不错，普通难度前期还好到后期尤其是十二星座BOSS摸两下就没了（目前43级，防御才19点）EA阶段的商店也取消了。建议提高升级防御增加值（毕竟游戏不属于魂类，还是应该以轻松为主）。

A pretty fun little romp through a really cool world. Reminds me a lot of Shante.

A failed kickstarter project. This was originally supposed to be a metroidvania but the game went into dev hell and in a desperate attempt to salvage this they turned it into a boring linear megaman like game. Don't buy this, there are so many better games out there for you to play instead of this.

Surprisingly addictive, difficulty feels balanced, and the art style is fun. There's also a lot more content than you'd expect coming from an indie title, with all sorts of secrets and areas to discover. My favorite part was learning some of the movement tech with the dash ability. This game has all the things you'd want and more from a "metroidvania-esque" platformer. Cool game.

The game is not bad... But it's pretty boring... Maybe I gonna give it another chance in the future.

So this game ended up being interesting for me because I bought it because I liked the visual aspect but in the end I ended up with a game I super enjoyed, a wide variety of costumes and ways to play, sometimes involving those costumes no less, some real nice voice acting and characters I rather enjoyed despite wishing they got a little more screen time or at least were easier to get to for talking, it was a real fun time with some fun changes in hard no less dood! Okay full review time! Tired so I hope I do it justice ^-^' to start the game is centred around the protagonist Gastova! She's a guardian witch and boy is she!...very lazy! Hahaaa yeah she's pretty lazy but now something is happening with the other witches and she has to fix things up across the land dood. The game is seemingly pretty basic at first, you can jump, dodge/dash and use your wand to shoot magic out, nothing too special as you travel through the games world but as time goes on things expand nicely allowing for different strategies and styles of play, to start off you can find a bunch of different wands, all with different elements and attack types to them, some can attack high, others low, heck some can travel through walls! It's a pretty fun thing dood. Of course there's more than just wands, each area has a normal boss and a main boss, beating each will net you a tome and a familiar, this is where the game expands a bit already as tomes allow for handy spells both offensive, defensive and tech like, while the familiars offer elemental attacks both for your main wand and they themselves as they help out, you can level them up for greater effects at that too dood. Next up is costumes! There's a hecking bunch and most are unlocked by collecting 8 gems of sorts hidden throughout the areas you travel to but they do more than just change Gastovas looks! Each new outfit has it's unique effect/s as well as tome and wand synergies at times, changing up how you may want to play entirely dood. The game now has a shop from when I first played it, I used it in hard mode XD it's a nice addition, boosting your wands, increasing stats and even letting you expand how many tomes charges you have, you can also buy tome charges and a recharge on the goddess stone (a free revive item that charges from combat? I think? lol) also on top you can use currency to level up your familiars more too which was a goddess-send because that makes levelling them all up literally twice as fast once you've bought everything dood The music and stages are all real nice, with some fun enemies designs too, the bosses are also fun to fight and on hard get extra moves, even normal enemies get some crazy little boosts that will really test your skills and patience in the game if you're not careful, it's nice to see that kind of effort dood. And that's about it really, I happily played a whole second time to beat it on hard which is rare for me, especially seeing as it has no NG+ which is a darn shame, I'd love to start from the beginning and just enjoy using it all for fun but even so I did it anyway, mainly to unlock the last outfit XD but also for fun, yeah fun too of course ^-^ but seriously there's a nice amount here and it's a great time if this is your type of game, I certainly suggest it dood. Thank you for reading and if you buy it I hope you enjoy as much as I did dood! ^-^7

困难出门，前期还想着这么简单，轮椅治疗站撸boss，后期简直了小怪有时又肉又多又飘还能追踪，各种无前摇，伤害也高，法术球经常0个，纯靠着爱心杖白嫖一管血续航，升级也没看到有啥提升，只能说纯受苦

沒什麼好說的，大學畢設，去買rabiribi 還不如做傳統關卡式洛克人就好，惡魔城成分不能說完全沒有，只能說不如沒有。

Picked this up not really knowing what to expect, and honestly I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would. Gameplay-wise, it's easy to get into and does a good job of keeping things moving. The visuals are nice, the atmosphere is solid, and the soundtrack fits the setting really well. You can tell the developers put effort into creating a unique fantasy world rather than just relying on common genre tropes. It's not a perfect game, but it has a lot of charm and delivers a fun experience if you're into fantasy adventures with interesting characters and world-building. Definitely worth checking out if the setting appeals to you. Overall, I had a good time with it and don't regret picking it up. Looking forward to seeing what the developers do next.
