About

"Witch of Ice Kingdom II" is a retro JRPG with a brevily described yet rich storyline, set in a permanently wintered Exlester Continent. As a little witch, you'll use magic and summoned pumpkins to combat foes in turn-based battles, while uncovering hidden events and exploring dangerous locations. The game takes a unique approach by disabling physical attacks for your character, emphasizing the use of magical abilities. The plot revolves around the aftermath of a devastating war between witches and the ensuing chaotic weather patterns, "Crazy Winter," threatening the mainland.

    The story of "Witch of Ice Kingdom II" is a fairy-tale-inspired narrative featuring a good witch and a prince on a quest to reclaim a throne, which, while enjoyable and endearing, suffers from clumsy translations that detract from its overall impact. Despite some cringe-worthy dialogue, players find the story engaging and appreciate the accompanying music and graphics. Overall, it offers a decent experience, especially for those who enjoy short, story-driven RPGs.

    • “Witch of Ice Kingdom II is a short story-oriented RPG Maker RPG seemingly inspired by fairy tales, about a good witch named Nonoly and a prince named Gind, who reclaim Gind's throne from the evil witch from the original Witch of Ice Kingdom.”
    • “Translations aside, the story was actually sort of endearing.”
    • “Great story, amazing music, good graphics, and great characters.”
    • “This leaves the story, which feels quite different from generic RPG Maker games due to its fairy-tale inspirations, but is very clumsily translated from Chinese.”
    • “It's still decently serviceable, more 'engrishy' than incomprehensible, but for something where the story is the main attraction, it's a shame.”
    • “Prolly the only thing that ruins the story.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this game are noted for their unique art style, offering a refreshing departure from traditional RPG Maker visuals. However, some reviewers pointed out inconsistencies in the graphical presentation, with a mix of grid-based and isometric elements that could benefit from greater cohesion. Overall, the visuals are considered an improvement over the typical RPG Maker aesthetic.

    • “Compared to its prequel with the classic RPG Maker sprites, this game has a unique art style which is a nice breath of fresh air.”
    • “The graphics are somewhat different from your usual RPG Maker fare, although it would probably be better if they were consistent with themselves, since half of them were grid-based and half of them were isometric, or attempted to be.”
    • “- The graphics are somewhat different from your usual RPG Maker fare, although it would probably be better if they were consistent with themselves, since like half of them were grid-based and half of them were isometric, or attempted to be.”
    • “The graphics are... different.”

    The music in the game is highly praised for its ability to create a relaxing atmosphere, contributing significantly to the overall experience alongside the engaging story, graphics, and characters. Reviewers find it both soothing and impactful, enhancing their emotional connection to the game.

  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is considered repetitive and lacks challenge, particularly after initial grinding, similar to its prequel. Players find it generic, with a notable imbalance in character utility, where the spellcaster dominates early on while the physical attacker only becomes relevant later in the game.

    • “The gameplay isn't much of a challenge after grinding a little at the start, much like in the prequel.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it's kind of boring and generic, with Nonoly as a spellcaster who is much more useful for most of the game, and Gind as a physical attacker who becomes very useful towards the end of the game.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that grinding early in the game leads to a lack of challenge later on, similar to the experience in the prequel. This suggests that while grinding may be necessary initially, it ultimately diminishes the game's difficulty and engagement.

    • “The gameplay isn't much of a challenge after grinding a little at the start, much like in the prequel.”
