Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
44 of 132 sampled reviews raised it
Stories were a nice cosmetic add-on and the final gameplay additions really flesh out all the bonus characters while adding a few new fun things for the original characters as well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
10 of 132 sampled reviews raised it
The grid-based combat board is colorful but never cluttered, making it easy to track stone types and potential moves.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 132 sampled reviews raised it
Witching Stone's pixel art style and atmospheric soundtrack create a visually stunning world that draws players in and keeps them engaged.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 132 sampled reviews raised it
Outside of just combat, the story is cute, the art is great, and the soundtrack is bangin.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 132 sampled reviews raised it
Music and sound design complement the pacing well — ambient tunes during exploration and more intense tracks during boss fights create an immersive and appropriately magical atmosphere.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 132 sampled reviews raised it
The key art/character design is fantastic if slightly (though I imagine very intentionally) derivative of late 80's-thru-the-90's anime.
