Little Witch Academia PS4 review

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time Review – Slow Minutehand (PS4)

Anime has always lent itself particularly well to the JRPG form. There’s something about the typical shonen narrative of a protagonist slowly grinding their way from small-town nobody to world-beating juggernaut that meshes flawlessly with the hidden mathematics behind turn-based combat and inventory management.

  • Lovingly crafted world is evident from the outset
  • Captures the feel of the Little Witch Academia series nicely
  • Has some fine RPG elements buried in the gameplay
  • Combat is frustrating and simplistic
  • Needlessly time consuming gameplay elements
  • Imperfect marriage of two different genres
