This is sadly the extent of my enjoyment of this title. I also found the combat to be satisfactory, if fairly limited. The score is wonderful and suits each area that you enter. Everyone and everything is so adorable that it’s almost tooth-rotting, and the farming aspect is simple to grasp yet ends up being sidelined after a few side quests. The main quest introduces new characters who add wrinkles and layers to your journey. The narrative is what kept me wanting to play, even if it was somewhat formulaic. The catch? Magic is forbidden and anyone caught practicing it can land in hot water. You inherit your uncles’ farm in Paw Village and set off from there to learn magic to aid you on your journey. You play as Nyanza, an adorable cat who is determined to protect the land of Canoidera from an onslaught of demons. Kitaria Fables’ story is basic but does sprinkle in messages on the importance of friendship and being kind. It didn’t live up to any of its promises and ended up being a pretty major slog. Sadly, it failed to strike a chord with me. Add in a cat protagonist with a cute graphical style and this should have been a big hit. Twin Hearts Games’ game is labeled as an action/RPG with crafting and farming elements. Or if you think you can get away with a limited income, you can mostly forgo the farming and head straight into the adventure! Overall, Kitaria Fables is a wholesome and relaxed time.I really wanted to love Kitaria Fables. Since the game is pretty open, you can really go at your own pace, you don’t have to do any of the story quests right away if you feel like opting towards farming and gathering instead. It has a decent balance of farming and adventure, a solid story and the most adorable characters you will ever see. If you’re a fan of games like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley and Rune Factory, you’ll definitely like this title. I’ve tried playing Kitaria quite a few times with my console docked, even shortly before posting this review, and I still get the same warning message of my Switch overheating and shutting off.Īside from that last issue, I absolutely adore everything about this game. I then went ahead and tested out Dark Souls docked and also did a 4 hour Stardew Valley live stream and still never had that problem of my Switch needing to be shut down. I did some further tests, playing it in handheld mode was completely fine and at no point did it need to be shut down. Now, my switch is about 5 years old but I’ve never had this issue before. And when there is a ton of grinding that you need to do to upgrade or create new items, you really need as much time as you can get!įor this last issue, I’m really unsure if it’s a me problem or if it’s because of the game but whenever I play Kitaria docked, I can only play it for about 30-40 minutes before I get a message saying the console is too hot and needs to be shut down. I would have preferred to have more time myself, sometimes tending to my garden takes 4-5 hours out of my day which didn’t leave me as much time to do what I needed in the world. The days sometimes both feel long and way too short, particularly on days when you decide to split your day between the two tasks. Whether you decide to focus more on the action adventure or more so into the farming, or both, time management can become a bit fussy. The load time itself isn’t the worst I’ve seen but the fact that it has to load before and after each and every map, exiting or entering buildings, it does become a bit much after a bit. And if you go in the wrong direction, you’ll have to wait for your game to load as you enter/exit each area. You do have an overall world map that helps guide you but there’s still some guess work you have to do in order to go in the right direction. We really would have benefitted from having a mini map to help guide us in the right direction, especially when you’re trying to grind for specific items. As you’ll be exploring the world, you’ll have to go through a bunch of regions which are broken up into small zones. Kitaria is a wonderful game but it doesn’t come without its flaws.
