Gothic tropes are also thrown into the mix, along with an art style that’s storybook-esque – gouache-like paintings that are inspired by the works of Mary Blair and Eyvind Earle. Yes, Wytchwood is clearly a fairytale adventure from its intro. Now that we’re caught up, go to sleep and begin your journey tomorrow… She was wronged by 12 Wicked Souls and to awaken her you’ll have to collect and deliver said souls to The Goat. After all, you agreed to a contract? I guess a refresher is needed… You made a deal with The Goat to save The Sleeping Maiden. all your Spells and Reagent recipes… but The Goat is no ordinary goat, and has a quest for you. One day, you’re rudely awakened by The Goat, who not only made of mess of your home, but ate the pages of your Grimoire! R.I.P. You’re The Witch – an odd little Witch who lived in an odd little house in the swamp. We managed to secure a copy thanks to the staff at Super Rare Games and give this tale a playthrough. The time for pre-orders has come and gone, with all 4,000 copies selling out.

Follow us on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. I think it has some solid charm to it, and I think anyone who loves the look of it or any of the mechanics I mentioned here, will definitely find something to enjoy.Ī Nintendo Switch review copy of Wytchwood was provided by Alientrap for this review. While it isn’t the best game I’ve played, and it isn’t likely to win any major awards, I did enjoy Wytchwood.
If you like crafting, darker (yet humorous) narratives, and games that take inspiration from folktales and myth, then I think Wytchwood will treat you well. In fact, the game autosaves pretty regularly, so even if you aren’t playing on Switch and you lose power or something, you shouldn’t have to worry too much. I only had one crash in Wytchwood, and the game had autosaved just before, so I didn’t lose any progress. An example would be perhaps a trader, where you can trade certain ingredients for more hard to get or less common ones. With that being said, I do quite like the story that Wytchwood tells, I just wish there were some quality of life improvements. When you aren’t doing that, then you’re backtracking to various areas to make sure you have the required ingredients, and stockpiling other commonly used ones so you don’t run out. You quickly realize that the gameplay boils down to talking to NPC’s, just to figure out what they want from you so you can craft the requisite item and move forward. The big issue I have though is that the gameplay gets very repetitive after a while.

This may tell you useful information about how to approach various tasks or overcome various obstacles. This lets you inspect your surroundings, along with the enemies and NPC’s around you. Instead, every creature has some sort of weakness that you can uncover using the “Witch’s eye” mechanic. You may need an axe to chop lumber and dismember beasts, while you may need a trowel or some other instrument to harvest other items. The story is interesting though, and as you progress you get new tools with which to take on the various harvesting tasks and enemies. In essence, it is a lot of crafting, material harvesting, rinse and repeat. Most of the quests are fetch quests, you either go and get ingredients to make a potion that lets you solve a problem, or you go and do various tasks, which may require you to use the Witch’s spells and potions to solve puzzles.
