DS #4271: A Witch's Tale (USA)

Although it is a little too cutesy "Look at me I'm a rebellious teenager!" for me. Not to mention the battle system is incredibly slow, boring, and overall terrible.

that's what makes it a girls rpg everything is easy and simple to understand too simple like you know you don't have to think to play this

Despite a lot of the negative comments I've read about this game, I'm going to try it out myself. I think it looks fun and the art is also very nice to look art.

looks pretty good... worth a try and play but the costume seems to be more forced to show "exposure" but is not fitting for the character (designers lol)

Welcome to the Loli. XP This is a Nippon Ichi game after all.

lol at shakirmoledina. is this your first time being exposed to loli?

anyways, people are saying the battle is slow, it is if you arent tapping the screen. if you tap the screen, the battle goes faster. god my right arm is tired from playing this game last night. so much tapping just to rush the battle

As expected from NIS the girl is a total cutie.

Nippon Ichi always have some of the cutest females ever in their games. Probably the reason I can stand the Marl Kingdom series even though I know the gameplay is too simple to the point of failure.

 

[xshinox]

they have loli's and big breasted girls. something for everyone xD

 

[Dark_linis]

Unexpectedly interesting.

Will play once I have some more free time.

I resent that "girls rpg" comment shit. It's a girl's game because it's "too easy and simple to understand"!? Is the "throw like a girl" stereotype bullshit ever going to end!? And the concept that games are a "guy" thing? For fuck's sake! I hate shovelware that companies "market to girls" and games called shit because they're "for girls". Fuck that grow the fuck up and say "the game's too easy" or "the game's too simple" not "duh this is easy and not complicated enough it's for freaking girls". Let me guess you're a 12-16 year old boy?

On topic here I haven't played a ton but I like the Disgaea vibe they gave it and the concept is interesting if the battle system feels a touch slow and a bit odd to get used to. The main character is a bit short on personality so far but other than that the characters seem quite good in a Disgaea's Netherworld demon sort of "we care but we dont care" way. Overall I like it.

Why resort to exactly the same sort of stereotyping?

They're just opinions, its not like someone you care for or value expressed them.

Thank you Leamonade for addressing the stereotypical male 'gamer' crap. There's no place for that kind of sexism here.

Tsk. Sarcasm is hard to convey in text without adding something like a stupid "/sarcasm" which tends to take away from a serious post. And calling sexism an "opinion" doesn't make it acceptable. There's opinions and then there's ignorant or hateful, demeaning bullshit.

Anyways I don't need this to turn into an 8 page argument/flame war over something stupid especially not in a game release thread.

The "girl's rpg" comment was entirely uncalled for as was the explanation of what makes it a "girl's rpg".

Anyways, I'm enjoying it and so is my younger brother as we're both fans of quite a lot of NIS games.

I quite agree with you there.

Everyone has an opinion, and the intelligent gamer will form their own, based on their own experience with the game.
I gave this a try, not expecting much, and not being familiar with others from this publisher.

WHOA! This is pretty damn good!
For me, a casual gamer, the fun factor is definately there!
All of the Louis Carroll "Alice" references make for an intriguing environment. The simple gameplay with no timers or complicated combination moves make this ideal for the older gamer who has moved beyond twitch and shout type games. The save function could be better, this is the first title that makes me wish for a RTS flashcart, however is only a minor distraction.

On an unrelated side note, my girlfriend who thinks gaming is a total waste of time has dusted off her NDSL and has gotten sucked into this as well.

Yeah uhm, could I submit a cheerful fuck you?
Way to alienate and piss off any girl that enjoys gaming, prick.

 

[ragingchaosgod]

Thanks for addressing the issue Leamonde. >> It was ticking me off, too.
The only definition I have of a girl's game is one that's specifically marketed towards girls: Probably this game is, so was Rhapsody, certainly...
But not with the definition that it's easy therefore it's a girl's game. >3>
That's foul, dude.

The game would have been epic if the battle system was complex and gameplay a bit challenging, everything was there to make the the battle system complex and the story was cute, simple romantic, and kickass. NIS still hasn't learned their lesson when they started on Antiphona which plays exactly like Rhapsody and a Japan only release in the series called Angel's present.

Of course not. Like I actually expected you to care what anyone else said.

 

[boobledeeboo]

Hmm I'm a bit on the fence with this game. I think it deserves better ratings than a lot of reviewers have given it, but I still feel it's fairly plain as far as RPG's go.

And as far as those comments from Bladesxds go..he's not worth anyones time to be frank.
