![]() As the wildlife around Paw Village becomes increasingly aggressive, The Empire has called upon you to investigate and defend its citizens. Real time combat, exploration and dungeoneering sit alongside farming for provisions and the crafting of weapons and armour, and forging new spells to increase your power.Ī peaceful land where nature lives in harmony - until now. It’s not a game that will leave a bad taste in your mouth, necessarily, but rather one that feels like you’ve eaten nothing at all.Kitaria Fables is a delightfully cute action adventure RPG with farming and crafting! Enter the cute world of Kitaria and take on the quests of your animal neighbours as they face a rising tide of darkness. While the art & music is good, everything else about Kitaria Fables is bland. Sure, you can grow things to gain the good will of the townsfolk, or to cook things to replenish your health, but it’s not all that interesting, and if you like breaking boxes, you could probably just buy food throughout the entire game and not feel the hit to your wallet. It’s just more side content in a game that feels like it’s already got more side content than anything else. Most places you go will necessitate walking through several areas, which of course are full of monsters, and it wasn’t long before I was attempting to just stroll right past pretty much everything because it was all taking far too long.Įven the farming elements are nothing to get excited about. Add in the loading screens between each and every small map segment, and it becomes very tedious, very quickly. There are – very limited – teleportation shrines available, but even the walk from the town shrine to your home to sleep feels like it takes an eternity. I may have been able to get on board with the grindiness of it all, except for one thing. This is the only way you get stronger, through gathering materials and crafting. You don’t gain experience and level up like in traditional RPGs – instead, you grind like mad for obscene amounts of materials to craft weapons and armor and spells and anything else you could possibly thing of. Absolutely everything about it feels like it exists solely to pad play time. This would probably be a pretty great little game, except for one thing. ![]() My answer was shooting fireballs at things, while retrieving relics from dungeons and putting down the monster uprising. Very early on, you’re introduced to a sage who gives you a book to read, and in this way, you discover you come from a line of magic wielders, but since magic has been outlawed, what’s a small kitty soldier to do? You were given this specific assignment because your grandfather once lived in the town, so conveniently, you get to live in his house. ![]() You are a soldier tasked with protecting the citizenry of Paw Village from the monsters that have started coming back, years after they were believed to have been permanently defeated. Make no mistake, it is absolutely adorable, but man, it’s a chore to play. I’m kind of a sucker for a game where you save the world, but also take care of your home & your farm. Kitaria Fables is actually a game I picked up during the most recent Steam Summer Sale, because it looked adorable and like it’d be a great fit for the Steam Deck. ![]()
