I wish I could give a neutral rating. It's okay but super, super grindy. The main story is pretty poor, You don't get to know the characters, and they have no personality at all. There are no backstories or lore. Side quests are all fetch quests. For example, kill 20 of these creatures, or bring X amount of this crafting item (obtained by also killing creatures). There's a lack of QOL features, such as too few …

I want to recommend this game because it is quite cute, but honestly I considered refunding it despite getting it for under $5. I expected a cute cozy adventure game because it had cats with swords, but I got a slow, grindy adventure that left me feeling bored and also frustrated. Though keep in mind I am a casual gamer that normally sticks to cozy games, and not anything that really requires much work. So this may …

If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be “hollow.” If you’re looking for something deep and richly detailed, this isn’t it. The gameplay feels repetitive and heavily grind-focused, and the story isn’t particularly engaging. Most of your time is spent defeating monsters and planting crops over and over again just to make progress. However, the game still has its charm. If you just want to relax after …

Kitaria Fables is an enchanting adventure that will captivate fans of Stardew Valley and Secret of Mana. Its engaging storyline, addictive farming and exploration make for an unforgettable experience. Rating: 4.5/5 Recommendation If you enjoy: - Farming simulations - Action RPGs - Exploration-based gameplay - Whimsical storytelling Then Kitaria Fables is a must-play. Criticisms - Combat mechanics can feel repetitive …

Game is meh. not bad but not great. It is super grindy and super annoying but on a sale and if you watch podcast same time - it is okay. Some items cost 75k to upgrade and you won't grind that before finishing the game - so it is only a bonus task if you want to get all the steam achievements. I personally prefer Harvestella over this sooo much if solo. I will grind to finish all achievements because I personally …

60 of 224 · most liked firstGot Kitara to play with my significant other in local co-op, mainly "because Kitara has cute cats in it". In the end, both of us had mixed feelings: - The graphics are appropriate, but really dated---not that much of a problem for us. The soundtrack isn't exactly bad, but as stereotypical as what you'd expect from the screenshots. - Combat is fun and somewhat reminiscent of the earlier Cat Quest installments. Mechanics are nicely balanced in that each new item imparts a strong feeling of…

neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes a bad game or movie can be fun and enjoyable in it's own way, and sometimes it's worse by just being boring. There are no upgrades or decorations for your farm or house. There is no NPC relationship system. There is one major quest line, with 5 characters of any importance, and their dialog has some decent characterisation. The story is extremely videogame standard though; the big evil has escaped, collect the maguffins and seal it away again. Side quests are more or less fetch…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has terrible support for keyboard controls. Shift, control, and side mouse buttons cannot be bound.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Showed up under multiplayer games. Not a multiplayer game unless you're in the same room. Devs "temporarily" disabled remote play. Over half a year ago. Use the money I paid for two copies of the game to buy a dictionary and look up what temporary means.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game, but nothing ground-breaking. A bit too grindy to my taste, and missing quite a few QoL : - Chests in cities don't share the same inventory - Sometimes, you can't dodge while attacking - Only 4 quick slots, forcing you to alternate between tools and consumables - Can't track quests or recipes on UI to keep an eye on requirements progression - No pause while consulting the map, the inventory or the teleporters - Character is quite slow and you can't run faster - Can't quickly get out…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has its pros and cons, but for me, the cons definitely outweigh the pros. First off: the idea is good and the game looks good. It's also fun at first, but that quickly changes. A lot of things haven't been thought through to the end. Many supposed entrances for dungeons in the world are not used. The combat is tedious and the farming function is unfortunately only relevant for a few side quests. At the beginning, the inventory is super small, but I'm glad that I was able to expand my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: If you want to try it, grab it on sale, I don't think it holds up to the full sale price unfortunately. I got it at a massive sale so I'm not offended or upset by the attempt lol. I think the art style of the game is adorable, but if I'm honest, I can't recommend it as a game. The sound design is almost confusingly bad, considering this was only made a few years ago. Combat is incredibly repetitive and clunky, and all mobs respawn when you exit and reenter, but there doesn't appear to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would love to give this game high praise, but if I'm being honest it does not deserve it at all. It almost feels as if the entire game is kind of a scam. I'm always looking for cozy, challenging or fun co-op style games depending on the mood. This game should have been right up our alley. But there were several issues. 1. It just feels lackluster or incomplete. There is little to no love put into this game, its story, its characters, etc. You will be hard pressed to care about anything…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had this game on my wishlist for a while, seen the meh reviews and waited for a sale. The biggest complaint I seen was the grind, which, if this was the game's only issue I would have been ok with it. I've played many grindy games and been fine. However, this game is extremely shallow in almost every aspect. Despite trying to have cutesy characters and a wholesome environment, the world feels stale, stiff, and devoid of life. NPCs stand in place and don't engage much at all. The story itself…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, even though I am rating it down, the game still has charm. The soundtrack is great, its cute and fluffy, perfectly aimed as a first RPG kind of game for younger players. The reason I have to downvote it is because of the unnecessary grind on upgrading the equipment. Because of this, the game's length is probably twice what it should be. A short game is completely fine for this type of game, you don't need to gate progression behing farming 50 of the same monsters multiple times to upgrade…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remote Play has been disabled. Spent hours troubleshooting the issue before noting the post about from dev about it "temporarily" disabled. Post quite awhile ago. Had high hopes as another co-op game, now it's just a regretful purchase. I still poke the game in hopes the devs wake up out of whatever coma they are in and fix it. Slowly assuming it is abandonware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to try Kitaria Fables. I love the aesthetics but the more time you spend with it, the more you realize how shallow the overall experience is. It turns very quickly into a tedious grindy slog. I hate my time being wasted. Not worth it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel bad giving this a down-vote, because it is adorable. Like kicking a puppy or something. I think Kitaria Fables was created with a very small team, so I am inclined to be a bit more forgiving of the game's weaknesses. Anyway, it is adorable - the furries are cute, the scenery is lovely (in a WoW bland kind of way). Interactions with NPCs are fine and cozy I guess, if not particularly compelling. The plot is a bit meh in general, but that wouldn't be an issue with more compelling…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a fan of the extensiveness of the material/currency grind. If you ignored the side quests, you'd still need to do a slight material grind for every other main story quest. I was under a different idea of how the farming would be, but it felt like an after thought instead of being more fleshed out. It was tedious and you could farm monster drops instead although it would be slower towards getting the paw points needed for the upgrades. There is A LOT of running back and forth since the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a solo game, falls flat in just about every category. Every game system feels lackluster or unfinished. Story progression is scattered and unintuitive. Equipment progression is sluggish, with far too much grinding expected. Traversing the world is tedious. Co-op might improve the combat slightly, but as the combat is perhaps already the best part of the game, I don't expect it to pull up the rest of the game out of the mud. 4/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's honestly, really boring, it's like a 2nd monitor game. I watched tv show on my first monitor and grinded the same thing over and over on the 2nd checking it every few second. There's no level or anything, the only way to upgrade is by upgrading your equipment, farming is pretty much useless besides quest since theres early equipement that heal you. Sure if you like mindless grinding on the side it can be a game for you but otherwise, its bland and i wish i didn't feel the need to 100% it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Time for another cozy farming action RPG where you play as a cat who is a master swordscat and can cast spells. These games are just the best. Kitaria Fables here we go!
positive · AI labelView post →nice and simple game. combat is simple, farming is simple. you "level up" by getting better gear that requires using shops to craft them, just need to gather items. real easy to pick up and play. controller recommended. Map is smallish and easy to navigate. was easy for me to grind materials and increase my stats before progressing. I did say grind but it wasn't as bad as any JPRG. Materials tend to be plentiful and easy to find. If you get it on sale it is worth the price and like i said…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have 46 hours in this game. Played it with my family. In short, I hate it. But I still play it because it's somewhat relaxing, and I guess there's no game-breaking bugs. The loading screens are the worst. It's repetitive as hell, it's a grind The graphics are no more than ok at best. You can end up having to start over to be able to complete some missions. If you sell a sword you need to complete a quest for example.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EDIT AFTER THE 1.0.3 QOL UPDATE: This update was supposed to address a lot of the issues that me and several others have had with this game. The new teleporters are nice. Everything else is still a drag. OLD REVIEW: I really want to like this game but besides the art style everything is done horribly. You are going to need to grind dozens of enemies that are stronger than you just to get the gear that puts you on a leveled playing field against them but by that point youre already moving to…

neutral · AI labelView post →People need to stop being brainwashed by negative reviews. If you were looking forward to the game, why let someone else’s opinion ruin it for you? Play the game and decide for yourself.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I regret playing for more than the 2h return window. The game is just boring and doesn't feel very fun to play. Movement feels slow, navigating around the map is tedious, the farming just feels like busywork. The combat is ok but gets old very quickly because it's just pressing dodge when the enemy is about to strike. There is no clear critical path and when you find find a quest, it's usually a fetch/delivery quest or grinding some specific monsters for drops. This game is definitely not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →too much talking
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I visually pleasing, a well rounded RPG that can be completed easily in a reasonable amount of time. You can tell from playing it that there was a lot of love put in to this game. The characters really drew me in, too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love games like this, but I would not recommend an unfinished game and this one has no way to hide the various unworking dungeon entrances or portal in the mountain peak. It has beautiful music (Dragon Quest reminiscent) and great artwork/graphics, but I won´t be calling it story rich, evidently was rushed and left incomplete. A pity, has the potential to be so much more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I have personally found the game fairly fun for the last couple of days, I can't really recommend it to other people in good faith when there are so many problems with it, even with the quality of life update, nothing is very intuitive and the story remains pretty clunky so far with too many questions. From not being able to find out where bag upgrades even are until mid-late game, to needing to look up the most basic of things like where the next quests even start, or how to actually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried this game two times, with more than a year gap. I was hoping that I will like it better the second time around but unfortunately, it seems like I like almost nothing about it. It's a shame as it seemed cute, and I usually love these types of games. It's already extremely repetitive in its first hour, with a lot of boring fights and always respawning enemies anywhere you go, plus a very small inventory and non-connected crates where you can dump your excess items, so you'd have to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy hell this game is a grindfest and not a fun one at that. Combine that with clunky combat, expensive upgrades, even for the early game stuff, barely able to get ANY money without grinding for hours, and slow movement (and barely any fast travel), you get this game. Granted I got this game during a sale but like... this aint it chief. Don't buy this game, it's not worth it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy and Unbalanced IMHO. Only worth getting if on special and you like this genre of game with farming and combat is lacking alot of story and had no relationship building in it or house upgrading cant make your farm bigger etc
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate to say I don't recommend playing this because it feels like kicking a puppy. The game does have great potential but the grinding for the last two main quests is way way way too much. The places other than the main two towns feel very barren as do their stories / side quests. If there was more story building quests in the background whilst you grind for the last main story quests, it would make things feel a lot less slow.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice mashup of Fantasy Life and Animal Crossing simplified. A pleasant level of character customization, cute and easy to agro enemies that will make for funny moments. No annoying hand holding, you can explore and find secrets and nooks on your own time and leisure. I hope the team keeps making games and improving further.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing against the game, it's fine. But it feels like it was created to be played by young children. Over the age of 12 this is rather odd to play. The entry scenes feel like a morality play about listening to your elders. Just not my jam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun short game that has a ton of character development and quests for you to explore. It's a good game to play if you have a spare 12 hours or 24 if you want to platinum it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is quite okay. I'm not too invested in. but the biggest problem of this game comes with how many ressources you need to do anything. Thankfully main quest items are a maximum to 10 so far so it's not too bad. But when it comes to upgrading weapoons or armor. it cost a ridiculous number of item for it Like for the first armor it okay you just need 10 wood. but you don't get your axe until day 5 and they tell you it's next to a shed that dosen't exit. it's just the only chest that is…

There's no clear indicator for unlocking quests, they just seem to show up. I'd recommend this game for kids/teens who are into the genre or under like 12. As an adult unless you're looking for a time killer or REALLY REALLY like the genre go for it. The dlc is cute cosmetics, I bought all of them because they were cheap.

The combat can be a bit clunky, but overall it's a charming little action-rpg with a decent (so far -- I'm writing this review at ~4 hours in) amount of enemy and environment variety. Mostly focused on combat, but also has farming, mining, wood-cutting, etc. I haven't delved into the farming yet -- I'm content to grind out materials from monsters to get better equipment and advance the story. The game has a very "old-school MMORPG" feel to it. I think the nostalgic feel…
