The gameplay of Witch Story is criticized for its lack of depth and strategy, primarily functioning as a simplistic match-3 game that feels trivialized by features like an instant win key and a level-skip option. While it may appeal to casual players, the overall experience is marred by randomness, poor translation, and a lack of meaningful engagement.
- “The gameplay is in the form of a match-3 game where you have some symbols or images you need to line up in rows of three or more.”
- “But a few of the animations are pretty hot, and the gameplay is suitable for a casual crowd.”
- “The gameplay lacks strategic depth, relying on randomness is frustrating, the translation is poor, and the sexual interactivity isn’t great.”
- “There is no limit to the gameplay, and I say that in the worst possible way.”
- “To make matters worse, the developer made the unfortunate misstep of adding a level-skip command and advertising it, giving even more credence to the idea that they just didn't care about how the gameplay came out.”
