Mika and The Witch's Mountain

-

Nice cozy game. Story is decent, plot twist was unexpected. Flight controls are responsive enought, there is not much challenge but game has zero problems

I got this when it was a kickstarter, and honestly? Well worth the backing. The game itself is fun, cozy, and *well* worth the $20 entry fee. It hits a nice balance of not too difficult, while also not being so easy it's uninteresting. The music is nice, the characters are fun, overall, solid 10/10. Also, I saw that some of the recent reviews mention crashes, but I haven't had that issue at all. D: Here's hoping it gets fixed soon.

The game is good and I enjoyed it, but I had a few problems with it. First, the game crashed on me and I had to verify the integrity of the game files on Steam and lower the graphics to medium before it worked properly, even though my GPU is more than capable of running this game. My second issue is that the game is simply too short. The main story is around four hours, maybe six if you stretch it out, with another hour or two from side content, but I expected more from both the campaign and the story. I also wish there were more things to do in the world outside of deliveries. Most of the gameplay is still going from point A to point B, sometimes with conditions like completing the delivery quickly, avoiding water, or not damaging the package. Those mechanics are fine for a delivery game, but I would have liked more side activities and more variety to make the world feel fuller. Overall, Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a good and enjoyable game, but I definitely wanted more from it.

Lovely game! This reminds me a lot like a certain movie... ^-^

This game was pretty fun to play. As odd of a comparison as it may seem. It reminded me great of A Short Hike. Disclaimer: I played the whole thing on Steam Deck so keep that in mind. You play as Mika a young witch going to learn how to be a better witch. Only to find yourself face down in the dirt staring up at a very tall mountain you need to get up to achieve your goals. Seeing the A Short Hike comparison yet? Immediately you are told that you will need to upgrade your broom. But to upgrade your broom you need money. You'll get that money by roleplaying as Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service. Going about and delivering packages to various people. Be careful though as you can only care so much, fly so high, and bump on too many things and packages get messed up. You also have to be quick. Some stuff also can't get wet. You do continue to deliver packages for people but at a certain point it's no longer a job and it's much lower stakes. But you get to hear the stories of all the various people and a lot of them are very sweet. Frankly the two fishermen were my favorites. So onto the good and bad Good: 1) The art design is really solid and very very cute. The sound design is a…
