Witch whispers

Metroidvania enthusiasts and / or souls cannot ignore what it offers Mandragora: Witch whispers

What would happen if the monsters were going to relax in the world? They would leave a sorry, sunk and under the protection of very few nuclei capable of resisting the attack of the animals. A setting very far from the ideal, where only a miracle can reverse the situation. Well … will you know who this miracle is, right? Indeed, as a member of the Inquisition, we will have the gift of returning faith to people. Although as we will see, the challenge it brings Mandragora: Witch whispers The tree will not be easy … and the gift we have to cheat.

Light against darkness

Prima game Studio Junto Con Knight Peak They give us a difficult title that mixes the genre metroidvania With break in the purest style soul -shaped. Something like Hollow knight And the derivatives, where the clashes against the final bosses will be indebted and we will have to put all the meat on the grill. Of course, this time, our hero (or heroine) can choose their own combat style and how to face the adventure.

Personalization will be one of Mandragora's forces: the whispers of the witch tree. We can opt for a character who focuses on the fight like Warrero (either with double swords, large swords with two stucks, or with the use of a shield), which bet more on the Magic with wizards (with staff or simply with artefacts) Or that it is a combination of the two facets. Not only that, but there are several specialties that completely define our hero. According to the skills that focus on fire, others in poison, invocations, chaos forces, etc.

A skill tree? Better an entire forest

As we explore the kingdom of Faelduum and killing the animals that inhabit it, we will get Essence and materials to create new weapons and accessories. This essence will be like our experience in the game, and We cannot forget to increase our level to improve our skills and statistics. In fact, we cannot forget to increase the level of the merchants of our camp, because we have more manufacturing and / or purchase, better will be the products and the prices we will have within our reach.

And it is that each point of improvement counts. It is always very important to improve our equipment, to obtain books to acquire new skills and craftsmanship The best raw materials. Fortunately for us, The quick trip works very well and almost at any time. In addition to our adventure as an in -house with Powers on Natural, we can perform other tasks that our neighbors entrust to us. And I assure you what is necessary to be as best as possible.

Each orb counts

Apart from these complex and difficult fights (especially against final patterns change) We cannot put aside exploration. We will see that there are areas where it is initially impossible to access, either because a key is missing, we do not have the concrete capacity or because they prevent us from passing until another message ends. Little by little, we will have to examine every corner to find the right path. It does not become extremely difficult or we are going to get lost, but there is true go back If we want to finish everything 100%.

If we are entering its audiovisual appearance, it must be said that Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree works in a very remarkable way, Especially since the launch of the patch which has obtained after a few days since its launch. We are faced with dark and dreary worlds, which contrast with the color that our magiches grant. And despite this gravity and this solemnity that the game transmits, the design of the faces is breaking completely with the characters of caricaturescos, with the marked characteristics (in particular our protagonist.). The music is at a very good level, with A soundtrack made up of Christos Antoniou and played by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Almost nothing.

Mandragora Conclusion: whispers of the witch tree

Metroidvania complex lovers have a new reference thanks to the work developed by Prima Game Studio and Knight Peak. In general, we have not seen anything in other greats of the genre. Exploration, complex fights and a progression system with experience points.

Where the game attracts attention is in its skills system, with many options available to make our hero as we want. Sorcerer, warrior or a mixture of both. And a few huge skill trees that can merge to taste our hero. The story is late to start and in their first fights, they are too generic, but if you enter their world for a few hours, you will see that the options develop considerably, just like pleasure.
