The graphics on the other hand are pretty much what you see in a mobile game. With each piece of music fitting in perfectly with the setting of the game. The audio is great with a brand new official soundtrack. The graphics and gameplay are good don’t get me wrong but it has that mobile game aura to it. Now for a franchise that gets its first console port, it does still feel very much like a mobile game. I won’t give too much away but the good ending is way worth it. A great addition to the game is that there are many storyline choices to make along the way, which can ultimately lead to a good ending or a bad ending. The dolls are both cute and yet absolutely terrifying because some of them can really creep you out. There is the Swordsman, magician, and the Summoner which lets you summon the dolls you awaken to help you in battle. You can also choose which growth path to go down. Such as fighting, magic, speed, vitality, you know the usual options.
But you spend these experience points at the end of an in-game day and train up in a variety of different areas.
One thing that is interesting is the leveling up system as you do the usual by defeating monsters. You can go to the surrounding forest to get ingredients that you use to level up magic or dolls. It’s actually a tragic story as Eirudy lives alone with only her dolls to keep her company but the dolls she brings to life through magic cannot speak. Longing to make real friends, she one day meets a human boy and her life completely changes. The story follows a deity named Eirudy, who lives in seclusion in the dangerous Misty Forest with only dolls to accompany her. The game does have some originality to it. Witch Spring 3 is no exception but it isn’t just another clone where it’s the same thing over and over again. I think it’s safe to say now that every RPG or JRPG gets at least a little inspiration from the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series.

So let us jump into this WitchSpring review on the Switch. Mainly because the first two installments were released on mobile with Witch Spring 3 being the first one to get a console release. What is surprising is that I had never heard of WitchSpring before. Having spent a huge majority of my gaming life playing RPGs it came as no surprise that I would leap on the review for this.
So let’s head to the continent of Derkarr and see what’s on offer for this Witch Spring 3 – Switch Review. It has the same director as the two previous installments so already full marks for keeping the original team. Witch Spring 3 is a continuation story in the Witch Spring series.
