The Legend of Fark Witch is a popular video game that was released for the Nintendo 3DS console. It is an action-adventure game that takes place in a fictional fantasy world filled with magic and mythical creatures. In the game, players take on the role of a young hero who sets out on a quest to defeat the evil Fark Witch and save the kingdom from her reign of terror. Along the way, players will explore diverse and immersive environments, battle enemies, solve puzzles, and unlock new abilities and weapons to aid them in their journey. One of the standout features of The Legend of Fark Witch is its beautiful and vibrant graphics. The game's 3D capabilities on the Nintendo 3DS console allow for stunning visuals that truly bring the fantasy world to life.
You can power up your character with points (called Tres) you earn during the stages. Something I really love is that you don’t loose your points when you die in the stages. This gives the impression of character growth.
You can enhance Zizou s ability with Tres crystals, which powers them up à la Gradius but taking damage causes you to drop Tres you ve gathered, so the game encourages you to use them when you collect them. It was released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS eShop in 2014, Steam in 2015, and the Play Station Vita in 2015 Japan and 2017 North America and Europe.
The game's 3D capabilities on the Nintendo 3DS console allow for stunning visuals that truly bring the fantasy world to life. From lush forests to towering castles, each location in the game is meticulously designed and filled with intricate details. The gameplay in The Legend of Fark Witch is engaging and challenging.
Game Quicky: The Legend of the Dark Witch (3DS) ~ Also on PS Vita!
A little while ago, I posted about this game coming to the PS Vita. Now, I played this game on the 3DS. So, now that the game is released on both the 3DS and the PS Vita, it’s time to take a look at the game. Is it worth a purchase or is it should you avoid this game? Let me give you my opinion. And as usual, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section down below with your opinion on the article and/or the game.
The good
The soundtrack of this game is quite good. There isn’t any music track that I didn’t like in this game. If the developers would sell a CD with the soundtrack on it, I’m quite sure I’ll buy it.
Visually, this game has quite a lot of charm. Every world you visit has a certain theme and is decorated quite nice. The game is in my eyes, eye-candy.
This game has a lot of replay value. This is because you can choose the order to tackle the stages. There are 8 stages which you have to beat twice to beat a certain stage. Also, each stage has two hidden power-ups. So, you have a reason to go through each stage more then once.
Each stage is themed. And like I said earlier, the visuals are pretty nice in this game.
The controls of this game are tight and responsive. I rarely had any problems that I could blame on bad controls. The game isn’t the easiest of games, but all my deaths were my fault.
You can power up your character with points (called Tres) you earn during the stages. Something I really love is that you don’t loose your points when you die in the stages. This gives the impression of character growth.
You can downgrade the difficulty once. You can’t go back to the normal difficulty when you are on the easy difficulty. So, if the game is too hard, you can go from the normal difficulty to the easy one.
This game is extremely cheap. It was 3€ when I bought it, and you get your monies worth!
There is a challenge mode in the game. In this challenge mode you get a challenge like “Defeat boss X without taking damage.” So, more replay value for you!
You have infinite continues in this game. So, when you get a game over, the worst that happens is that you need to restart that stage. You don’t loose any Tes nor any overall progress. That’s a big plus in my book.
The in-between (not good but not bad)
It’s quite clear that this game is inspired by games like Megaman on the NES. And the difficulty shows that. On the hardest difficulty, I died so many times to very cheap enemy placement. Yet, when I started to memorize the level, I was able to avoid the enemies.
Something they also implemented in this game from the Megaman games are the knock backs when you get hit. Believe me, when you die on the same spot several times because you get knocked back into a bottomless pit, it’s annoying beyond believe.
The title screen isn’t a mixed bag in my eyes. The title card is very pretty but the bottom touch screen only shows “version 2.0” and it totally black. That’s a shame, since that’s a lot of unused space.
The bad
There is voice acting in the game, and it’s done pretty good. Yet, it’s all in Japanese and there is no translation. I wish there was either a dub or English subs.
Due to the lack of an intro cutscene explaining the basic story, I find myself skipping the dialogue when a boss battle starts. It’s a shame, since what I have read so far, the story looks interesting.
In normal difficulty, health pick ups are so rare to non existent, it’s a shame. I played this game on the easy difficulty, and the health pickups do exist.
If you pick this game up, I advise you to read the in game manual before you start playing.
Conclusion
This game is a very good game. If you have a bit of money to spare on the 3DS eShop or on the PS Vita, go and buy this game.
When you enjoy old-school Megaman games and want a new challenge, this game is one for you. While the game is quite a lot of fun, it can be very irritating sometimes. This game lacks some polish in the enemy placement but overall, you get more then your monies worth.
The negatives of this game can be game breaking for some people. But, for each negative, there is a positive.
I haven’t finished this game yet, but I’m enjoying myself so far. This game is perfect to play while waiting for the doctor or while I’m on the train to work. If I have to give the game a score now, I would give the game a 3/5.
In any case, I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing this one. I hope to be able to welcome you in another article on my blog but until then, take care and have a great rest of your day!
