WitchSpring R

I've completed the game two times on my Switch and it was such a fantastic journey that I had to get it as well on Steam. No matter if it is on sale or not it is one of these games that are worth full price. You get a fantastic story which is cute but also can make you cry. The artstyle is pure magic, I LOVE it. When it comes to grinding it's not necessary but if you want to be a little bit OP or want to have simpler fights you can do it. There is plenty to discover in this beautiful world and with the cute and relaxing music I can easily recommend it to turn based RPG fans which also want a deep story which puts it into a quite cute setting even though not everything is as "cute" as you think as the story progresses. I was hoping that they are going to release the DLC for the Switch too but I guess this probably will not happend so that was also a point why I got is for PC too. I wish I could erase my memory so I could experience it all for the first time but still even though I know the plot already I love it and it's so much fun. The battles are nice, the creatures you can find and summon are cute and very helpful. I give this game a 11/10 and even though I was completly fine with the graphics and limited frames on my OLED Switch it feels wonderful to play it now on the big screen with even more details. This is a game that found its way to my top 10 games of alll time in a single heartbeat.

very cute turn based rpg with potato daughter protagonist, heavily recommend. Has a nice soundtrack, very lovely artstyle and art direction, surprisingly much to discover in game. Missed quite a bit during my first playthrough.

An [b]excellent[/b] game that a lot of JRPG studios should take note of, in the QoL department. Despite having one of the most comfortable QoL in JRPG, it still has [i] some minor flaws [/i] Story: You are a little witch in the forest, set out to explore the unknown world. Sounds familar? Yea, you should know what to expect. Though could have been a bit stronger Graphics: While the graphics is very nice to see, i.e it has that low/mid polyon baked mesh environment incoperate with very cute anime characters, you still still see the seams of the grass floor or the very meh bridge. While its not that bad to look it, it could have been done better to enchance the visuals. Characters: Characters are very cute and loveable. Dialogue wise is pretty solid. Pieberry has some lovable dialogues, meaning you can feel the naivety in her as well has her dangerous remarks. Character stereotype is on point too. Tsundere characters are tsundere while steadfast characters are steadfast, meaning they dont do a weird 360 attitude change. Its acceptable to have an attitude change but most often than not, it doesnt work or it puts a ? to that character. Game Progress Simulation: The NPC in the game arent idle all the time. Most JRPG games, those f*cking NPC just fills the area and have 1-2 dialogue for the rest of the game. WitchSpringR, when certain stories or chapters happen you can see them doing 1 certain thing to another certain thing with different dialogues. Refreshing because at least there is some lore content behind it Animation: Each cutscene looks refine. Not going to lie, despite having some weird animation, at least it looks like effort is put into it. Every cutscenes has some sort of animation so it doesnt feel stale or boring. Its not like those anime shows where they stall 5 mins being in 1 frame without the MC doing anything. There is some sort of flow. Difficulty: The hrs I put into this game to complete is 2x more than normal people ( normal hr to finish is 20hrs ). Well honestly, I spend most of my time grinding for stats since I just start out with very hard difficulty. That said, if you are under normal or easy, you can easily finish the game < 20 hrs. QoL: This aspect is 1 of the best part about the game. You want to teleport to home? Instead of going through your map and seach for your house, you press 2 buttons. You want to roam around? Press 2 buttons to summon a pet to move faster around. You want to check what spells material needed to craft or check when is the spawning of enemies? 2 buttons in the menu. Grinding: Grinding is really good in this game because you arent griding for levels. Honestly, you dont technically need to grind too since after the first encountered, they dont provide you any more lvls. You only grind for materials which is fine too. You want a specific monster part? Just grind other monsters and after a few rounds, you can get that monster part. Ofc, the strongest monster will take awhile but you dont need A LOT of items from them. [b] Now the cons [/b] No one likes missable content that ties to achievements. I really do not like the idea that I have to look through a guide, in case I miss something in some chapter that eventually will not allow me to have it. Here is my thought process about it: I love the game > I want to 100% it > But because some items are missable, I have to look at a guide > Which means I could be spoil / it hampens my fun experience with the game > But you dont have to 100% it > Then you dont understand the meaning of resolve. If you are commited to something, might as well do it. If I didnt want to commit, I could just play it easy mode and call it a day, wasting my money for something I would like to love. Weird animation cutscenes. It is what it is. Sometimes the scenes from 1 scene cut to another is exactly on the first frame or something. Its dank but not too bad. Enchantment. Sucks it has to be so far. The lack of tutorial and understanding about it is uhh meh. Map. Why are some areas unaccessable and why does the ocean part is so bad. Lastly stats issue. Without going too much without spoiling, the game has a very weird balancing issue. The problem lies with the issue of agility and defense. Thats all I can say about it. Overall: I have a lot of fun in this game to the point I would consider it that I love this game as much as Octopath but music could have been better lol. Pieberry reminds me of Tales of Vesperia where the MC is just different. Probably top 5 fav JRPG games

除了日配小时候的声音太夹了和我养的白菜让弱智黄毛拱了，其他很棒了。

The game feels like it is 90% backtracking. It just got really tedious after while. Also the combat system is lacking any real depth. I wouldn't recommend it unless it is on sale.

游戏的玩法和美术都做得不错，本来应该是一款不错的休闲游戏，但是剧情上让人感到反感的部分太多了，这是可爱的画风和游戏性无法抵消的扣分项。

真的是又香又臭的，你说好玩吧确实好玩，但你要说有多好玩吧，都什么年代了，一堆JRPG的臭毛病是一点没改，从数值崩坏到雷人剧情，从糟糕指引到逆天隐藏，我就搞不懂一个支线任务如果不能回头来做，那要藏得那么深干嘛，是生怕为此重开存档的人太少了，所以故意用这种逆天设计来拉高游戏留存率？还有，对话就不能设置一个快进或跳过吗？选择自动对话很多场景能硬聊十几分钟，有那么多好聊的吗？
