Wytchwood Switch NSP Free Download I am not great at keeping my mind palace organised. I don’t even have a mind palace. If my mind were any kind of structure it would be a Lego creative box of randomly mixed bricks. Thus, like an advanced robot, I store my memory outside my body in the form of daily to-do lists that I write up every morning. Wytchwood is a to-do list game, with each item cascading into a sub-list of more things to be ticked off. The difference is, in real life, my daily to-do list only includes ‘make shiny lure to catch an elf and steal its shoes’ on Tuesdays. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

Hahaha! I’m here all week! But seriously folks, as the title suggests you play a witch in this crafting RPG (CRPG isn’t taken, right?). In fact, she’s an adorable crone with a stompy little walk and a pot for a head, and developers Alientrap have had a lot of fun with that premise. Your job, as related to you by the Black Phillip-esque goat outside your swamp-cottage, is to collect wayward souls owed to him. Each of them turns out to be a terrible person, though, so it’s cool.

The Witch of Wytchwood

Wytchwood is set in a land of gothic fables and fairytales. You play the role of an old helmet wearing witch who lives in a house located in a swamp. She spends her days pottering in the garden and sleeping in her chair. Until one day, she is rudely interrupted by a talking Goat. After the witch finds her Grimoire (book of important craftable recipes) and her tool belt, she heads outside to see what the pesky goat wants. The goat tells the witch they agreed on a deal and signed a contract to find twelve wicked souls to release a young maiden from her deep sleep. Unfortunately, the witch remembers nothing of the deal the goat says they set up. Octogeddon Switch NSP

She reluctantly ventures into the forest to find the lost souls. So your adventure begins as the old witch of the woods explores a strange countryside, collects magic ingredients, brew sorcerous spells, and pass judgment upon a capricious cast of characters. Along the way, you’ll pass through forests, swamps, farmlands and even a hospital for the sick in your quest to find the lost souls. You’ll collect many different resources and find new spells for your Grimoire. Craft new spells using bizarre ingredients such as toxic toadstools, newt’s eye, and bottled fear.

Crafting and the Witches Eye

Crafting couldn’t be any simpler than it is in Wytchwood. It is on the go crafting without the need for a workbench, like craft’n Go. Once you have the ingredients, find the item you want to craft in the Grimimore, press the button, and craft the item. If you don’t have the items you need, you can check where you might find them by highlighting the spell in the Grimoire and highlighting the missing item; you get a clue to the area it might be in. It’s a great crafting system without running back to a work branch to craft what you might need. There are plenty of resources to collect in all the game areas. The need for more potent magic will require more rare ingredients, which ties into the exploration in the game. Octopath Traveler Switch NSP

You can use the witches eye, a magical item that makes a short description appears when you highlight an item or NPC in the game. The witches eye works well as a tool especially, as it’s helped me out a few times when I got lost and wasn’t sure what to do next. Each area in the game leads off a hub so you can move about from different areas by going through a magical portal, it is not quite fast travel but it does the job. There isn’t a tutorial, but it’s unnecessary as it is a game about exploring. However, you have a journal in the menu, and all the quests you undertake are listed there. They can also be pinned to the top right of the screen so you can keep track.

Brew Potions

There are many folk and animals to discover and complete quests for, from simple fetch quests to brewing a new potion for someone. I met a young maiden who awaits the return of her lost love, a big bear who loves nothing more than to knock some heads together. It’s like playing a fairy tale or a fable of old as you are never quite sure what is awaiting you around the corner as each area contains unique critters, plants and monsters. There is excitement, curiosity and wonder around every corner. Visually Wytchwood is stunning to look at, especially in the forest where all the vibrant colours pop out of the screen. Each area is a joy to behold. Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee Switch NSP

They all have distinct looks, from the sunny forest to the gloomy swamp and snowy mountaintops. The music is great, and it and the sound effects all gel well with the gameplay to draw you into the witches world. I played the game with a controller and the controls felt very intuitive and responsive. The game ran well on my laptop without any problem. The forest, the first area you go to, is one of my favourites: orange and autumnal, it feels cosy, and is a great contrast to the more dangerous and spookier levels later on. But I’m also a massive fan of the village and docks, especially the music. Different areas have different musical themes, and the village first introduces the little loop I think of as Wytchwoods “people live here” music.
