  • what is this game like?
    and what is it about?

  • "Hello Alice Welcome 2 a witchs tale" finaly its out i only got 25% done on the jap ver and that was with AR codes

  • This game looks intriguing... http://uk.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/awitchstale/index.html?tag=gallery_summary;title

    The art design looks quite cute. I'm gonna try this!

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sJnBPvcn9g
    the trailer for the game.

  • O la! Developed by the same people who made Disgaea... Interesting. I look forward to playing this even though it has been given bad reviews...

  • The file size is so big. I have slow internet. :<

  • I watched that trailer, and it looks like a bit of a letdown.

    Gameplay looks really simple, graphics are only as good as Lunar Knights.

    Wait for more reviews, but don't get your hopes up.

  • does anyone knows how much is the file size of this game? i want to know before i download it. thanks

  • look in the details

  • 128MB after extracted

  • I'll give it a try.. don't see why not

  • whoo hoo.thanks.

  • Why wait for reviews when you can just download it and try it immediately!!!! Woohoo!!

  • OMG IM SO DOWNLOADING THIS!!!!!

  • Why does my ds not show the on light when playing the game? this happen with anyone else?

  • Well Fartmaster is the only one that has posted so far who has played it, so he could have at least given some form of review but I guess he forgot while busy saying how much experience he has of the game..

    :-)

    I'm just teasing... I'm desperate for a review as well so guys please come back after downloading and post a relatively decent review so all us others who have limited downloads can know if it's worth grabbing this one..

    and "TEVAK" aside from your light not working WHILE playing the game, what is the GAME like???

  • HUGE fan of NIS - heard mixed reviews about the game (okay mostly bad) but I love NIS games (have yet to find one I don't like in some way) going to give this a shot. Been waiting awhile

  • In case anyone was interested...
    Reviews as of now:

    RPGamer - 60%
    It is quite possibly the easiest RPG ever made, which will unquestionably turn off many people, but if that isn't an issue for you, there's plenty of style and charm to be found.

    Nintendo Power - 40%
    As cute as A Witch's Tale is, its weak gameplay and slopped-together feel aren't to be appreciated by anyone.

    Edge Magazine - 40%
    A Witch's Tale is the teacher who says 'look, but don't touch.

  • oh wow good!!!
    nice combo many good RPG in one week

  • Awesome week this is but after this it will be awhile before we get anything else nicer.

  • is it rpg?

  • YES!! I have waited for this in ages!!

  • Oh! I must try it....

  • Takes about a time to get into the action, somewhat dialogue, and its system is inherent to the game. Overall, built in, and intrinsically quirky to its own sort of flavor or nature. Fans will like this.

  • All these games are taking up so much space I think I have to get a new flash chip (maybe a 8GB or 16GB if they make it) because every time A new game comes out I have to delete an old one.

  • I saw the trailer, the game seems fun, girly but fun, but in a ways sort of creepy and the characters are dressed sort of inappropiate, but it still looks fun.

  • I don't really care about game-play at the moment. I won't deny it's a asset but I'm more interested in story

  • work in r4 1.18.
    but the game looks don't really good(i only played for 50 min so i don't know the rest,maybe can be better or worse.The battle like shin megami tensei devil survivor.But it is really slow paced which makes me feel sleepy.despite of that this game have funny story(like other nis games).Sorry for my english

  • too much dialogue but i like the chars lol...

  • creators of disgaea enjoy

  • i was watching the trailer and was hopping for this game to come out soon it is good and very funny the boy is
    the refined vampire and the girl is
    witch in training a very good game i am downloading it now

  • Looks OK but let down by the weird and slightly crap battle system.

  • For some reason I cannot save the game. I got to the first town and entered the inn, which rested me up, but I could not find the option anywhere to save. Consequently I lost like 40 minutes worth of game play.

    Other then that, I quite like the gothic setting. Seemed pretty decent so far.

  • ive played and its absouloutley awsm!!!

  • @zentanna
    so, you can't save at all?? does it need a patch??

  • I could not find a way to save at all. I pressed all the buttons and went through the menu (pumpkin icon) but could not find an option anywhere to save. All I found was my stats and inventory.

    Kinda annoyed that I lost all the time I spent playing earlier.

    Unless I missed it, I couldn't find a way to save the game at all.

  • @zentanna
    maybe you need to accomplish something if you want to save the game??

  • Possibly. But you'd think after 30 minutes of gameplay then being able to explore a town and visit and inn, you'd be given the chance to save somewhere along the way or somewhere in the town.

    Most RPG's like Kingdom Hearts on the DS has the save in the menu system which you can do in between the tutorial missions. Seems like this is the first rpg I have come across on the DS that doesn't have a save in the menu or allows you to save when you visit an inn.

  • Hmmh, i guess that...this game won't be worth playing without a working save then..

  • In Wizard of Oz you play for an hour before the first save, and after you have to use a token to go back or complete a level, so maybe this is similar.

  • if people want to kno how this game is its like shinmegumi devil survivor(or something like that). well the fights are anyways. u don't move like tactics but u use monsters to fight and stuff.the battle format is almost the same as it.

  • To save, when Loue tells you to meet him at the gate, don't speak to him yet, head all the way down south to some portal-like thing. It'll ask you to save. Please note that it is about 30 minutes till you get to this point. There is no saving problem with the game.

  • @xeysz: Have you tried trimming the roms? It makes such a difference. :)

    You might as well just buy yourself a second flash card. ;P

  • this feels like a very old school rpg

  • I honestly don't see how this game is anything like SMT:DS, despite the fact that two separate people said it. Not in terms of plot or gameplay, unless you're going to say they're both turn-based, but A Witch's Tale is a purely turn-based RPG [albeit dragging commands instead of pressing buttons] and SMT:DS was a hybrid between strategy and turn-based RPG. =/

    As for the game itself, it's cute and charming. However, it's not a terribly deep game, and it's something you'd play when there isn't anything on your list. I do love the style, music and theme as well; perfect for October.

  • I think playing Tales of Innocence in Japanese is more interesting than this. There's some feedback for you.

  • DUH! You can save - all you have to do is go through the first portal thing whatever the first world you can enter to the left and there are save spots all over the place. The 'save point' is on the ground... you just step on it a VOILA save or no save. (You won't find a save option in the village/inn)

    Ok now let me just say... Last night I had high hopes for this game but after I made my first save I just called it a night. Don't expect any Disgaea gameplay. This is a very simple game... The story intrigues me to play more but the battle system is a complete let down. Also I am dissapointed with the fact that everything is touch screen based. Why do games feel the need to use touch screen. I don't see the point unless you are playing mini games i.e. whack-a-mole style. But that is another story.... -_-

    The graphics are fun and bubbly... graphics are like Disgaea... You take the lead role as Liddell the witch... You can collect cards and dolls, which sounds quite fun. But the battle just makes me want to cry T_T It is in RPG style where you run around and random fights occur. It is turn based but you just drag your actions towards monster A, B or C. Be it attack or magic etc. The dolls help you I guess. Well the first one you have anyways is there with you in battle.

    I will try this game again but probably when I am very alert and that is for the story. It could've had a lot going for it... I was hoping it would be strategy based but alas no, battles are soooo tedious it will probably send you into a deep sleep z_z

    I don't know what else to say..... lol it works fine on my R4 1.18

    Peace out! V

  • Saw trailer and it looks great, good RPG game

  • The game doesn't work on my M3simply with the latest firmware. It says that the gamefile is corrupted and it won't start the game.

  • battles take too long, enemies have to much health, random encounter is high, can't midlessly level grind cuz u have to use a stylus to attack

  • I can´t belive that a Nipon Ichi Software game got such lame battle sistem,i mean all their games have absurds attacks and flashy magics cool voice acctings and so on,how could they make such game?Not that the story is bad,it seems good but... They made Disgaea DS,they could have made a better game out of this.

  • "battles take too long, enemies have to much health, random encounter is high, can't midlessly level grind cuz u have to use a stylus to attack"

    actualy, lvling up in this game really increases dmg,a enemy that has too much health now, will die in 2 hits afte lvling up 3 times

  • amapora: Nintendo is forcing developers to use their gimmick controls. As far as Nintendo is concerned, anyone who likes standard button and d-pad control setups is a filthy, dirty technophobe who hates innovation. This is why Phantom Hourglass lacked normal controls and why many Wii games lack a classic controller option, when they could easily support it.

    For the record, I thought the Gamecube controls in Metroid Prime were just perfect. Not including them as an option in Trilogy was just another way for them to slap those of us who don't kiss their butt.

    I'll try this game, it might be okay, but not including button controls is a pointless exclusion.

  • dont like the game to many unesesery talking and the battles take too mauch my first battle took 3-4 minutes and i got bored i mean FIRST FUCKING BATLLE

  • amapora, that was an amazing review of the game. I hope you make more for other upcoming rpg games.

  • I know not to use this for support, but does anyone know how to get it working for Ez-flash VI, v5.0? I pick new game and it just fades to black.

  • To those who want to save the game:
    You'll come across a glowing circle on the ground with a shoe symbol on it, double tap it and it'll open up a menu for saving. I think you can only save if you come across those symbols.

  • amapora, are..are you reading my mind..? .-. I felt the SAME way after downloading it, and did the same thing..

    *covers head in a kitchen strainer and tinfoil* <.> Mindreaders..BEWARE!

  • This game seems decent. Nintendo Power gave it a decent/ below average review for it. Though half the time I don't agree with Nintendo Power reviews.

  • Sailor Moon: Another Story had the same kind of battling. First time fighting new enemies and they can almost beat you, but after each level up, you start immediately feeling stronger and can start one hit killing them in 4-5 levels.

  • This game is a tad bit difficult. It takes awhile to get your levels up to size to that of the foes you randomly fight. I like the music which is audio not DSMIDI and the art style is nice.
    I also like the main character, she is sort of a spoiled child but funny.

  • This game is borng, horrible graphics considering what is out, gameplay is redundant.

    Not even worth having a second look at it.

  • I love this game the grapics are awesome the characters very nice and the story is gothic cute!
    the music never get`s boring for me it`s a 10/10!
    awesome game!!

  • The graphics are awesome. Compared to most games it is. Better than Kingdom Hearts too. At least you don't get an ugly glitchy pixel face that's all smushed up. But yeah it's boring and the gameplay is redundant.

  • @ dizaster UMMM? 1. im female 2. i hate typing

  • Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRPAUsfVcLI

  • This game was only published by NIS. It was made by Hitmaker, the same people that made Blade Dancer and Dragoneer's Aria.

  • Incredible game!!!!

  • Why is Hansel a girl? o_O" *cries*

  • Im a big fan of disgaea ds, i have defeated baal lv 4000!

    but this game is no offence, a let down, honestly the games i have played so far this does not make the cut im sorry

    we need more mature games with comedy in it, this one is none of them im sorry T__T

  • i cant believe i wasted megabytes on this >.>

  • Not really doing it for me. Touch-only controls are always disappoint me, and I played for a long time without really doing anything. Some cookie's country got invaded. Kind of difficult to care about a pastry kingdom.

  • This game is great, good graphics, "mario" like battle system (not precise, though!) good story, PLUS, it's mostly based of the story of Alice in the Wonderland. It's not like it, however, so you won't go, "eww so gurrlly" or something like that.

  • A cute RPG,
    Controls are used by stylus only,
    the mazes are sometimes a bit frustraighting, but overal a great cute game!!
    I give it a 4/5

  • it's.... actually okay i like it except.... and the story is WHACK!

  • quite interesting, =D
    but sure a bit confusing at first time. hha.


    i wonder whi the ending is so strange ?? -_-

  • The atmosphere in the game is awesome, however, I am a bit disappointed with the battle aspect of the game. :S

    I expected a lot more, but the story is kinda worth it, at least to beat the game once. The dialogues are pretty funny, too.

  • finally its out ! i have been waiting for this game for like a month

  • Well the graphics are truly lovely, but the controls a little off putting.
    My 10 year old daughter is loving it though, so there you go, probably it's target audience anyway. Good stuff.

  • This game is alright, for a true RPG-fan it might be a bit below average, but hey, finally another one, right? ^^

    I tried this game and fuuuuuu- I fell in love with it.
    The character design is good, graphics overall are okay.

    The only thing I hate was the lack of a fighting tutorial. It kinda goes like this:
    *Random encounter happens, expecting to see some kind of imstruction*
    ...
    Oh sh- I gotta fight! Then after like 5-ish! minutes of throwing fire and cat-punches it goes on, like nothing ever happened.

    One time I had to laugh, though. At the candy world (Where I gave up) There is a chest with "Death" in it, if you beat him it'll say: You defeated Death.
    Or something similar, which was kinda funny.

    So overall it's okay, mazes are a bit linear but that's alright.
    Also the Map, it doesn't show your exact place so it's a bit puzling at times.

    I'd give this a 7/10, Actually a 6, but a 7 for it's effort and spooky atmosphere. (at least, in the beginning)

    (If Nintendo really wants to score, they should dev a new Golden Sun.)

  • Shadow00760:

    A new Golden Sun is due next year. Can't wait!

  • Next year when-ish? O.o;
    You made my day!

  • What do we do when were out of the candy maze?

  • Atika, you're got that bomb? Then go back to the main field, and go left and 'use' it on the big rectangular thing that's supposed to be a marshmellow. =o=

  • lol reminds me of lunar knights except that was a vampire and this is a witch ill try it because i have almost every game possible on the D.S.

    -Catchulater

  • Just a bunch of jumbled pixels on the screen. Really unintuitive as far as games go.

  • ohhh...lol thanks


  • I just beat this game. It took me about 20 hours. I'm a gal for details, so I tried not to miss anything. This game is fairly easy, but it's not tedious, boring easy type of game. I love the story, and Loue is so cute!! I liked the stylus control. It worked well..

    And about the save.. you need to wait for about 30 minutes into the story to be able to save. So no patch needed at all.

    I would really recommend this game! Great game! :)

  • I can't even get out of the library. after Lidell gives the books to Kitty my screen turns black. And it stays that way.

  • The same problem i've got$(

  • it gets stuck at the part in the gate room....I have an R4.What should I do?

  • what is this game about!!!!!!

  • the battles at the beginning took TOO LONG, had to give up, its like hitting 2 damage each turn killing a monster with 100hp. Then u walk a few steps and u get tagged again,zzzz. nice design though.

  • the game is COMPLETELY touch based (no buttons, EVER)

    the plot is simple. you're a witch. you cast magic and control dolls. you want to be the very best, like no one ever was. you release HELL upon earth, and you got to make things right. strongly reminds me of Rhapsody: the Musical Adventure (the original, don't no how DS version compares) in a sense that the stories are simple quests, very whimsical(candy country with gingerbread ppl, lolwut?), and the protagonist are female and control inanimate aliles.

    the battle system is old school-ish (kinda like DQ). use stylus to drag icons to do actions. it wouldn't be a problem that the battles are touch based, but the fact that you have to drag instead of tap is tedious and time consuming. battles become bland and boring quickly

    music sounds good. not distorted nor "whisper volume at max" like in Disgaea DS. kinda catchy

    graphics are... okay. characters portraits and the likes are good but backgrounds and sprites could have used work. typical of most JRPGS

    overall, its okay. not great. most will hate it. but if you're gonna hate it, would you please at least beat candyland?

  • The save button is like a purple portal thingy. Just walk around a bit and you'll see it.

    I'm still stuck on the first world :S

    I'd rate it 7/10

    Wasn't worth the 1 hr wait!

  • is this any good

  • awsome graphic and drawings and colors^^ play it at night time love the musics

  • I think its an okay game... but the battle system thing is a little disappointing...

  • Is it an rpg game, like Disgaea?

  • very fun and addicting

  • nippon ichi made!!!!

    i lovce the art soo much!!!!

  • I'm stuck in the plant land... any ideas on how to walk the path of reincarnation? Thats where I am stuck at. I have enjoyed the game so far, it isn't terribly complicated, and I noticed that when you are going in the right direction, you get into more battles than if you are wandering around aimlessly.

  • Just ignore that "path of reincarnation" thing in the first playthrough. You can enter that place in the second playthrough. I liked this game. Interesting story, not too demanding in battle.

  • I like disgaea.. though never played it much.. I hope I don't see what I hated in disgaea here, though nevertheless. I'll get it.

  • seems to be a LOT of female oriented anime/games coming out atm as much as i like a good rpg im not really fond of talking about which guy i like the most or how hot their bod is that being said a female main char isnt particularly a BAD thing its just not my preference

  • Another NDS title that is ruined by the devoloper forcing touchscreen only control aspects when it wasn't needed.. Whats wrong with the buttons and control pad? I really don't get why the devs wanna screw up a perfectly ok game like A Witchs Tale by forcing all game controls with the stylus. I don't know about you guys but I find games that use the stylus to be very uncomfortable to play. Anyway this seems like your run of the mill rpg. Probally nothing special, then again NIS is not known for Oh My God amazinging graphics. Give the game a chance you might like it.. To NIS Fans: Yes it has NIS's sense of humor in the game, fans will know what I mean.

  • Haven´t played it yet but still:
    A rude witch
    A dark world
    The graphics

    Seriously what does this remind you of?
    Time´s up:Disgea

  • I'm in the middle of this game its really good.
