WitchSpring 3 [Re:Fine] – The Story of Eirudy Switch NSP Free Download About a month ago, I reviewed a game called Kickerinho World. It was not a good game. I’m saying all of this for a reason, though, I promise! The main thing that irked me about Kickerinho World was the fact that it was a sloppy port of a mobile game, and it kind of made me worry that I’d start to see more mobile games being ported to the Switch. Now, I’m not going to go into a huge tirade about games that originated on mobile devices. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

But most of them aren’t very good—and the ones that are good are usually throttled by the fact that they’re cash-grab gacha games. So, for better or worse, the second that I hear “originally a mobile game,” I fear for the worst—but, boy, did I goof when I applied those fears to WitchSpring3 Re:Fine. WitchSpring3 Re:Fine isn’t just “good for a mobile” game; it’s a good game in general. Well, I guess it’s technically a Switch game, now—and a slightly improved one at that—but the sentiment still stands.

All Dolled Up

WitchSpring3 Re:Fine follows the story of Eirudy, a mysterious young “marionette witch” living a secluded life in the Misty Forest—a befuddling, magical forest located on the continent of Derkarr who guarantees that almost any who enter will find themselves lost. So secluded is Eirudy’s life, in fact, that she’s never met a single living soul aside from her grandmother—but that all changes when she one day saves a young man from being attacked by a wild boar.

Eirudy’s run-in with this curious stranger finds her being roped into an adventure that will ultimately help her discover who she truly is—and just exactly what she and her newfound friends are capable of doing when they work together. Being a mobile game, WitchSpring3 is a little, shall we say, compressed. It’s still a full-fledged JRPG, and nothing will convince me that it isn’t, but it basically felt like playing a DS game (albeit a more advanced one).

Just a Hot Mess in Every Line

Unlike most turn-based RPGs, Witchspring3 has you building your own level gains. Battles get you materials, which you use to make potions. These potions improve your stats, and you slowly get stronger. Your other path to power is your dolls. This little army of yours offers immediate and significant boosts to your strength once you unlock them properly. Since you can have three dolls active at once, you can turn the tide of battle before it even begins. Most of them start with major stat bonuses, and you can continue to level them up as you go. Either path to success -dolls or potions- involves a fair bit of grinding, however. TOHU Switch NSP

Yes, there’s a lot of legwork involved in making forward progress, but it isn’t grueling. You’re merely required to invest some time, is all. Every fight brings you closer to one goal or another, and there aren’t many consequences for failure. You don’t lose any supplies or experience when you lose, either. In other words, all you need to succeed is a lot of patience. Even so, I found myself losing momentum frequently. Between the garbled narrative and the laid-back level grinding, I had a hard time maintaining my focus.

Many Roads to Success

Not to say the combat and exploration isn’t good. It’s great fun! Witchspring3’s mobile roots mean the controls are easy to pick up. Things like spellcrafting, summoning, and skills give every battle ample depth and variety. Plus, most of your resource gathering is highly streamlined, and you’re able to navigate the world with ease. You can even engage in straight-up training montages to boost your stats. On the other hand, all this breathless level grinding too easily distracts from the main quest. Part of that problem ties back to the janky script, but still.Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Switch NSP

The mindless grind felt more cohesive than the plot, which sapped my motivation to push ahead.Normally, I’m laser-focused on the mechanics in a given game. The plot and the world-building are cool, but they don’t keep me coming back. And yet, Witchspring3 never quite hooked me. It turns out that compelling mechanical systems can’t make up for a fatal deficiency in writing.Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 Plus 2 Switch NSP
