#Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree

[whiteraven90]

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree just launched 🎉 I've been working on the game for the past few years as a part of Primal Game Studio! It was a fascinating, positive experience for me; the most complex game I've ever contributed to; and I learned a lot. I'm thankful that I got to work on it. I'm going to play it too, obviously x) It's on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 at the moment!

I'm not a big fan of this genre. But since the story was written by Brian Mitsoda, a lead writer on the Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, it's definitely on my wishlist.

Some time ago I beat a game called Mandragora, with a long subtitle I won't write down. It was another game that I backed on Kickstarter. It's a 2.5D metroidvania, but with deeper RPG mechanics and story. It wanted to be as deep as a Witcher game. Did it succeed? Keep on reading.

The answer is no. The game certainly has a much larger production value than most metroidvanias. Proper cut-scenes, fully voice acted and a clear story to follow. But it's not really as deep, or even as interesting as the stories the Witcher has to tell. The world of the Witcher alone is a lot more interesting. Mandragoras world isn't bad per se, but feels a bit generic. You're a part of an order of inquisitors that hold absolute power. The world is corrupted by some calamity and full of monsters, and you hunt witches. You kill one witch during an important meeting and you end up absorbing her soul and she eventually guides you throughout the game to stop the corruption and beat your master.

I do kinda like the characters and the voice acting, it's very good. Especially the King Priest as he's voice acted by the same guy that does Margit/Morgott in Elden Ring. One voice that stands out is the vampire lord, and not in a good way. His voice just doesn't fit. I don't know what it is about his voice, but it sounds too normal? Or mundane? He has a bit of an accent, but it's not exaggerated. He just sounds off. Your companions at the camp are great as well, I like their interactions.

Story and characters and blah blah blah, how about the gameplay? I enjoyed it, actually. I liked the feel of the combat and the exploration for the most part. There were plenty of secrets to find. The RPG mechanics are great, especially when it comes to creating your character. I made a melee + holy build, a bit like a paladin and focused on one handed maces. I feel like there's plenty of replay value with making hybrid or pure builds, there's a lot to choose from.

Bosses were pretty good too. Although I felt like there were too many repeat bosses. But the unique ones are great and have a wonderful design. The final boss is quite a leap in difficulty, so much so that a lot of people complain about it, but I didn't find it too hard. I do agree that the DPS race mechanic in the second phase is kinda ass though. Oh yeah, I just remembered. Pepper was a pretty shite fight. Your boss is so unthreatening that you gotta put one-shot pits at each end of the arena? I died purely by accidentally rolling too far, not to the boss itself.

Here's some random little things I liked: I really enjoyed the art style and overall look of the game. The ring crafting NPC was hilarious. Some areas were great, like the vampire castle or snow area. Certain side-quests were neat as well, like the one where you gotta taste test some bad ale. I like that our player character is also fully voice acted, and you have some choice on what to say. I like that I got to romance the witch lady a bit :-) Something I didn't like: who decided it was a good idea to make an NPC that's perpetually exhausted and talks painfully slow? I love you Rhys, but goddamn.

Here's some negatives overall: Fall damage was too extreme, the main character has knees of jelly. The crafting mechanic was a bit too much, I really wish you could find more armor and weapons by exploring. You always just find crafting recipes only to realize your stupid NPC isn't high enough level to craft the thing you just found for you. And NPC levels. You gotta use the NPC's to level them up, you can't do certain things if they're not high enough level. That sucks. Why was the unique looking boss Ferryman just a copy of the Caretaker mini-bosses? What a waste of an unique design.

There's quite a bit of negativity surrounding Mandragora. Is it the best thing ever? Not really. But it's a fun game. Maybe something you'd enjoy if you're into metroidvania titles. Maybe on a sale? A bit generic on some parts, but when it comes to RPG mechanics, it a bit more deeper than the rest.
