5.5/10 (Meh) In short, the game feels very barebones. I understand that its a mobile port, but its also a remaster released in 2023, on PC, and at a price tag that cannot be considered cheap, even on sale. While I did somewhat enjoy the game (largely because I enjoy turn-based RPGs in general and the story was serviceable), the extremely positive reviews it has is unwarranted, and the high achievement percentages …

i honestly didnt expect to love this game as much as i did, but witchspring r ended up being one of the best games ive played so far!! i absolutely loved the story, it was so charming and emotional and kept me interested all the way through. the characters are also one of the best parts, theyre all so charismatic and memorable, and i really enjoyed getting to know them and seeing how their stories developed …

It's cute, it's fun, it's short, it's good. Just get it. Especially if it's on sale.

My god. This is by far, the best game I have played. This game is the one and only that has ticked all of the boxes off to be a good game for me. Nothing was overtly complicated, it was fun, combat was nice, grinding is fun, story is great. I have bought all outfits for this game to help support it (and because they are so cute!). I have 100% the game, and I would do it again in a heart beat. I can't wait to replay …

This is game extremely lovely, a remake of a 2015 mobile game. Everything surprised me, the tiny details, interactions, secrets, there are a lot of places to explore and things to do. The story is also heartwarming, It made me feel a large range of emotions. The characters are unique, the designs are extremely good, specially Pinkberry in my opinion. About combat, I enjoyed it a lot, even in very hard the game …

95% of the 227 Steam reviewers we collected recommend WitchSpring R. The complaint that keeps coming up: ending ruined the experience for some. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · AI labelView post →Was very good. I really enjoyed the gameplay, the characters and the story. However something did bother me in the story a LOT and completely weirded me out and ruined the game for me. It happens literally 15 seconds before the end credits so it really gave me whiplash and it *personally* would have prevented me from buying the game if I knew. If you'd like to know what it is, I'll write it here and try being as spoiler free as possible. For most of the game, your character is an 8…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a game about a 10 year old witch in the woods, and for the first few hours, it does appear to be that silly, but then it gets going, and man does it get going. It is a silly game a lot of the time, BUT it does have a story to tell, and it does a WONDERFUL job doing so. You are going to fall in love with Pieberry whether you want to or not, and damn anyone that gets in her way. Great game!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been really enjoying this game, but at first, I couldn't put my finger on WHY, exactly. Eventually, though, I had an epiphany - and so, instead of just going on about the game's features and whatnot, I'll tell you how the game FEELS. Imagine, if you will, a game that you played, many years ago, on a PS2, or maybe the GameCube or the O.G. Xbox. Back when the advancement of technology had just opened up a bunch of new possibilities for game-developers, and bloated budgets plus corporate…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is a 7/10. The DLC (Epilogue) is a 4/10, but thankfully, you don't have to play it. I'm not usually a fan of JRPGs. I've always found them too grindy and a bit simplistic in terms of plot. WitchSpring R is no exception, but weirdly enough, it worked well for me, even though first 1.5 hour was slow. Things that might deter you from buying this game, but didn't personally bother me: - The plot is simple, but it isn't dull. I was actually surprised by how well-delivered it is.…

Deffo keep it in mind if you're ever itching for a fun adventure 🥹 I feel like other trails fans esp might get the same joy out of it that I did 🤭

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the mobile game years ago and was shocked at how underneath the rough graphics and questionable progression was a game with a lot of heart and care. The degree to which this feels like a suped-up version of that game is also shocking. It still has many of the issues of the original - progression is weirdly inconsistent, balance is all over the place, and I have no idea whether I'm too weak or too strong, or both for any given area - but gosh darn if it didn't pull me in again with how…

It is appealing to players of many different genres. If you like good video games you will like this. Pieberry the MC is a combination of psychotic and wholesome, so you never know what will happen next.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. WitchSpring R I actually played this in JP and got far into before realizing it was Korean, so I just went the whole way through. Simple, but very cute and heartfelt. I love Pieberry, she deserves all the pies. I played a phys build in the witch game and hit people with my cool stick.
positive · AI labelView post →Wonderful RPG Game. This was the perfect game for me right now. The story was fairly straightforward, but it more than made up for it with the focus on characters. As I get older, I honestly find some of the more simple storylines refreshing. Not everything I interact/consume needs to be deep and thought provoking, I just want to enjoy the ride. This game actually managed to make me cry and laugh even if I "saw it coming" and I appreciate that. The graphics and design are delightful and…

neutral · AI labelView post →Almost exemplary game. This is how I imagined an ideal JRPG when I was a kid. Wish the next game could be 200-300 hour longer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, Just note that If you dont care to 100 percent for achivements its fine. But if you do look at a guide there are very thin windows of the things you can easily miss.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game on a whim because of its artstyle -- I'm so down bad for any game with a cute protagonist, so I decided to jump into it knowing nothing about the franchise. It was a good thing I did, as this game has made me cry three (3) times, and threatened to do the same for many, many more times. The voice acting (played on default Japanese VO's) was superb and really brings Pieberry to life. It cannot be overstated how well-intertwined her character is with her voice, along with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first few chapters are quite boring. The rest is very good, funny, emotional. But the game is relatively short, if you forcus on the main story you can finish the game very quick. Anna doesn't really have enough screen time tho.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Me yesterday: Witchspring R is cute and fun but it's not exactly what I would call an achievement in video game storytelling Me today:
neutral · AI labelView post →Nowadays, i lose interest in playing most games before i ever finish them. There's always something intrinsically wrong with them that i just can't bear to put up with. WitchSpring R feels retro but plays modern. There's little secrets that are easy to miss and plot twists that are nearly impossible to find without a guide. it's up to you to grind a little to build better, stronger spells. Items that you are never told how to unlock are sometimes right in your face, lying about uselessly.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, despite having notable strengths, eventually fails in critical parts. Both in story and gameplay, I'd say 75% is really good, but the remaining 25% outweighs the good parts. First, the strengths of this game, which are unfortunately also the source of its weaknesses. The best part is the exploration. The environment, monsters, maps, and the way battles are handled are very appealing and fun. In fact, they make you want to explore more, collect resources, and not rush the story.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Witchspring R is a streamlined dungeon crawler about a little abandoned witch named Pieberry who lives alone in the woods. It's very character-building focused, you'll want to put Pieberry through a vigorous training regimen, augment her spells, and upgrade her equipment. I recommend playing it on [Very Hard], which I found to have one of the best difficulty curves in any RPG I've played. The bosses are pretty consistently hard enough to kick your ass if you haven't been keeping on top of all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very cute game that will definitely not lead you into dark emotional alleyways to shank you in the kidneys. Definitely.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just wanna say that this game is honestly fantastic and has been a blast to play so far, definitely recommend! The only thing I'll ding it for is that it feels REALLY dumb when I easily 1 shot some kind of story boss enemy only for it to go "oops, just kidding, they were holding back on you, you're actually just a weak little baby" xD I know it's probably the easiest way to go about it for plot continuity but it would be interesting if certain bosses would just scale or otherwise give you…

I love the witches, not these f*cking Temple Lords and their bullsh*t philosophy about suffering . Spoilers. I’m so f*cking pissed I couldn’t sleep. If profanity bothers you, move along .

I don't speak Japanese, but the voice acting is truly sublime. Pieberry's voice actress brings the entire story to life, and the majority of the other characters have absolutely top-notch voice work as well. The story only…

neutral · AI labelView post →I put a lot of hours into this game and have all of the achievements, so I obviously enjoyed it. That said, I also have my grievances...but I will try my best to keep it brief (except for the story portion, oh boy.) Gameplay first. This game has unlimited grinding *intentionally* by design. There are so many ways to improve your stats, I actually had a lot of fun with it. This is strictly subjective based on the fact that I like having the ability to optimize my builds to infinity and beyond.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good gameplay that is held far back by baffling design decisions, lack of quality of life, tediousness and a atrocious story. I would have given it a mixed review if that was possible because it had the potential to be a great game. I think I kept everything spoiler free. How the game works: Defeat always visible enemy groups that respawn at the same location and drop the same loot to get equipment or craft potions, new spells or stat increases. A group only gives exp the first time you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute game, would reccomend playing on a higher difficultly as I found normal a bit too easy. Edit: Fully finished the game and the story isn't very strong plus the game play gets repetitive near the end, still had a lot of fun but I'd definitely wait for a decent sale to get it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a fully negative review, simply a note to highlight the biggest issue in the game: the padded content. You need millions of items, multiple times, repeated times, for no real reason other than padding the game. Some times is fine to simply level up a weapon you like, that's fine, but for some reason, the game REALLY wanted me to eradicate white rhinos from the face of the planet because instead of requesting a relatively normal amount 5-6. It needed 16, multiple times, when…

positive · AI labelView post →Quite frankly, I am surprised about the overwhelming support of this Witchspring R. I do believe that there is some good bones to the game, but I think it needs an extreme amount of work in terms of the mechanics, the limited range of monsters, in level development, in writing, crafting, balance, and more. [Below will contain some spoilers] If you looked away from the story and particularly liked grinding, I could see how this game is appealing. It has some aspects, but over time it would…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing jrpg. The story is simple but enjoyable nonetheless. The art style and character designs are great too. The voice acting is especially superb and the characters dont feel flat and have their own personalities. the combat is not that special but its still fun. a lot of optional dialogues/side activities that enrich the world.
