Pieberry is so adorable <3 I got Witch Spring R out of a whim since the reviews were really positive and it's already living rent free in my mind. It was soo good! Made me tear up a few times. Can't wait for the DLC to come out!

[rpgromanceplayinggirls]

Name: WitchSpring R

Genre: Fantasy, Crafting Sim, Stat Raiser, Action RPG

Platform: PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch

Release: 2023

Audience: General

Protagonist Type: Set

Romance type: Set, BxG

Official Synopsis:

WitchSpring R is a story-driven RPG combining elements of simulation, collecting & crafting, and battling. Play as Pieberry, a white-haired, bunny-eared witch growing up in a forest filled with monsters. To relive her childhood memories (eating delicious food!), she longs to venture among humans, but she can't find a way to the outside world... until your story begins! A world of new experiences is waiting for YOU to explore with her.

Content warnings: N/A

Notes:

WitchSpring R is the console and PC remake of the original WitchSpring, a now-defunct mobile game. Although the narrative deals with themes of racism, war, and religion, it is a comedic and child-friendly game, and this is reflected in the romance being fairly light-hearted and innocent.

Pieberry's love interest is Justice, a warrior who blames witches for his father's death and harbours a strong hatred of them as a result. Meeting Pieberry and spending time with her slowly begins to change his mind, and after learning that Pieberry's race were scapegoated and not the monsters that they were made out to be, he allies himself firmly with Pieberry, ultimately falling in love with her. Pieberry, on the other hand, fell in love with Justice at first sight, and even refuses to kill him in self-defense at first because she finds him handsome.

Pieberry begins the game trapped as a pre-teen girl, having had her aging stopped for at least ten years. Partway through the game, a deity breaks the seal on her aging, and she magically ages up to her true mental and physical age of an adult. The romance with Justice does not start until after this event has happened.

witchspring r is a game that i am liking a lot. i hesitate to call it a good game, because it has a lot of things that a lot of people wouldn't like, but it pushes a lot of my favorite buttons in a lot of very nice ways. ended up typing a bunch so if you want to hear me ramble check the readmore

the main thing about it is that there's a whole bunch of grinding. i don't mind grinding; in fact i quite enjoy it when it's implemented right, and witchspring r does it in a way i really enjoy. everything in the game follows on a sort of global timer, and any action you take advances the timer on every other thing. so a low level gathering point might respawn after 2 or 3 ticks of the timer, while rare resources and bosses might require 10 or 15 ticks, and particularly rare resources might take even longer. this means that i don't get stuck in a loop of fighting the same enemy group hundreds of times in a row hoping to get good drops - i fight the few groups of the enemy, then run off to fight other groups of enemies or pick up useful items, then when i go home and rest, i can go back to the first group of enemies to find them respawned and ready to go. obviously the negative to this is that I'm forced to do other things if i want to grind a particular thing, but it's not that bad. and, of course, there's an instant-win button; but it doesn't become an idle game. to use the instant-kill button your magic stat needs to be higher than the HP of the enemy, and you need a higher agility, and you need to spend a proportionate amount of MP, unless you use the sword method, which requires significantly higher agility. no disgaea 6 auto battle here.

i particularly like how the battle system encourages you to use every part of it. in battle, you have three main relevant options, and three other options that aren't used as much. the main three are physical skills, magic slabs, and special attacks. physical skills deal a bit of damage, but cost no MP. magical skills do a lot of damage but you need MP to cast them. special attacks are unique and usually unlock after a number of turns. what's really interesting, though, is how it all meshes together - when you cast a spell, a portion of the damage you deal is stored in your staff, which gets released when you do a physical attack, so dealing the most damage most often involves casting the spell that deals the most damage, then using a physical attack on the next turn, and repeating back and forth. every four turns you get a guaranteed critical hit, which deals about 30% extra damage, getting better over time. this crit can't be banked, though, so you need to figure out what ability is best used to make the most of it.

the other options in combat are summoning pets, which give pretty substantial damage bonuses on their turns, using items, which are generally best used as a panic button or as a free turn every few turns (an extremely useful ability unlocked relatively early), and defend, which restores a percentage of HP and MP at the start of your next turn. early on i made heavy use of defend and had my pet kill things, which was really slow, but now I'm at the point where i can start really pumping magic, making most of my turns casting fireballs.

the story is decent enough. you play as the witch pieberry, who lives alone in a forest protected by a giant golem. pieberry wants to explore the human world for a taste of the pie from her dreams, which leads her on a grand adventure far from home, to which she can return at any point.

↑ pieberry. importantly, her snaggletooth is actually modeled in-game, and isn't relegated to just her artwork like a certain other magically inclined crafter character (RYZA). all witches are marked with dark(er) skin, white hair, and long floppy ears. her favorite things are pies and strawberries, the things which she named herself after.

for some lore: witches are the children of humans and demons (who are the former gods who had their powers stolen by humans), with extreme magical prowess that seems to dull with age. they're not immortal, there is a very plot relevant witch who's old and dying. pieberry suffered the fate that many other witches did: she was abandoned in the woods as a baby, in the hopes that she would be killed by nature so her parent wouldn't have to kill her themselves.

pieberry is obviously not at perfect peace with her lot in life, but she's still living her way. and who could blame her, she's like ten.

anyways rant over. play witchspring r it's out on steam right now

[cephydots]

Considering how WitchSpring R also borrowed elements from 2, I really do wonder what kind of adventures Luna went while Pieberry did her thing

Hopefully she gets a lot of love in that if that does get covered
