Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch™ Remastered

Jogaço

It's a lovely JRPG with elements akin to pokemon where you can capture creatures and make them fight on your behalf, more active combat than turn-based, & with cutscenes & art by Ghibli studio. It's slower paced than some other JRPGs I've played, but it's good overall. Recommended.

Cute and cozy

I loved playing this game again!

This game has such an engaging world, memorable characters despite the actually short time you spend with them a absolutely gorgeous art style. The studio Ghibly art is top nootch and I really liked the sort of wholesome kinda childish vibe of the world. In that aspect the game is an absolute 10, the main story is a memorable and enjoyable experience. Now for the core gameplay and side content... I'll be blunt if Steam let me leave a mixed review I'd do it because as much as the artistic and writting department of the game pulled me in the gameplay on the other hand tried so hard to push me away. The mix of turn based and real time combat is poorly implemented, you often time find yourself being beaten by bosses while waiting for them to launch their big attack so you can block/evade it just to miss your chance because you had to heal yourself to actually not die. That cooldown between actions was what almost ruined my experience, but I somehow braved it because the game is just too beautiful. Another thing they could have improved was improving familiars on the side, games like pokemon have mechanics to help raise creatures you just picked up to they can catch up, in Nino Kuni you do have access to mobs that give ton of experience but they are randomized to find so grinding is a chore and you end up overleveling your characters so it also sort of dumbs down some fights. This makes it so you can either stick with your main team of familiars that you more or less got at the beggining or having a mismatched team if over leveled familiars that do all the job and some that you thought were cool but can't really use much because they are so left behind. The side content aka side quests and the like were half and a half, half were somewhat good and charming and the others were just very repetitive. Familiar raising aka treat giving was also a chore, it's just too much to be giving 10 treats to a team of 6-9 familiars with repetitive animations in between that were cute at first but make you want to bleach your eyes and ears after the 100th time. And finally the crafting... the grind for materials that involved RNG for drops or RNG on the skill of a certain character that takes objects from mobs was attrocius, a meaningless sink of time, and most of the time you could get better stuff just exploring dungeons or buying items, the only exception was the treats for familiars were the only way to get enough to max or even just level up the friendship with the familairs was farming a bunch of rare materials on different areas to make just a couple of them. All in all the game was mechanically clunky but had an amazing story and world. It's a remaster from a game released on 2013 so I wouldn't know if they had this kind of real time + turn based weird mix figured out by then, I fell like more recent games like the tales series handled it a bit bettter but I could do without them trying to mix this things, give us one or the other. If you can grab it on sale do it for the gorgeous art and charming world but try not ot get too much into the grinding and just focus on enjoying the nice bits of the Nino Kuni.

Muy lindo laburo Lvl y Ghibli, me hubiera gustado tener mas escenas animadas por Ghibli ya que al principio meten como 3 o 4 pero en el resto de la aventura desaparecen. Banda sonora demasiado buena. Juegazo de min 50 hs.
