In this review by GamingBolt, Mandreora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is put under the microscope. Developed by Primal Game Studios, this platformer takes players on a dark medieval fantasy journey with a twist of Soulslike combat. While the game does have its fair share of core gameplay issues, it manages to impress with its exploration, art direction, and combat mechanics. The story revolves around witches and the Inquisition, offering a premise that is intriguing, albeit with some shortcomings in dialogue and characterization.
One of the standout features of Mandreora is its level design, which transitions from the safety of the city to the treacherous wilderness, complete with challenging bosses and side quests that encourage exploration. However, the game is not without its flaws, as players may encounter issues with movement mechanics and finicky ledge interactions that can lead to frustrating moments. On the bright side, the combat system offers a variety of classes and weapon types to choose from, adding depth to the gameplay experience.
Moreover, the game introduces an interesting multiclassing system and crafting component, adding layers of complexity to character progression. Visually, Mandreora shines with its hand-drawn environments, stunning lighting effects, and top-tier animations that bring the world to life. While it may not reach the pinnacle of platformer or Soulslike games, Mandreora: Whispers of the Witch Tree presents a solid combination of elements that make it worth a closer look for fans of the genre.
