#TINY WITCH SPRITE PATCH#

In battle, the Wraith reaches out with all its malice and willpower, and sends stored magic soaring in a rushing bolt to strike its foes. Though the Wraith can no longer control its necrotic powers, its bones burn with the grim magic it absorbed in life. It is born of the undead remnants of a necromancer. Witches fight to protect their people and the land they hold dear, and only use martial spells in times of war. Each Witch takes a tiny spirit, invisible to the untrained eye, as their companion, often storing it in a warm pocket amongst their robes. It is through their interactions with these creatures that Witches learn to harness some of that power. There, they learn to commune with the spirits of the wood, friendly and sleepy little creatures connected to the power of the land. It isn’t a terribly expensive game, but it’s still not worth the $8.99 price tag for an hour of pure irritation.Both male and female Witches are trained deep within the Sage Woods. With no unlockables or collectables, there isn’t any sort of replay value. That means that this game is really only about an hour long. Not accounting for deaths, main level takes about fifteen minutes to beat and the sub levels take about five.

On top of the frustrating controls and nearly nonexistent story, this game has only three main levels and two sub levels. It has a lot of good ideas, but largely fail in their execution. I have to say that I am really disheartened that Orn: The Tiny Forest Sprite didn’t turn out to be as good as the trailers made it seem. Thankfully, you don’t have to listen to him much. His delivery is ridiculously over the top and borderline obnoxious. There is only one character with any spoken dialogue and that is the Guardian Tree. My one gripe with this is that every time you die (which is often), the music resets, meaning you’ll be listening to the same part of the song over and over again. The music throughout Orn: The Tiny Forest Sprite is pretty decent and fits the game well.

It’s bad enough that the platforming is so poorly designed, but having to stop to refill a completely pointless and nonsensical meter is absurd.īelieve it or not, there are platforms to cross behind this tall patch of grass. This completely interrupts the flow of the game. Plus, whenever you die your energy meter is depleted so you’ll have to mash the button to refill it so you can attempt to progress further. Since there is so much difficulty in making successful jumps, you’ll have to repeat the same stretch of the levels over and over again just to get to that next one. They are few and far between, and are usually only located after a particularly tough section of the level. Luckily, there are respawning stones spread throughout the levels. These are cool in theory, but the dashing and warping abilities are just as unreliable as the jumping mechanics and both the Frost and Darkroot runes will kill you if you use them for too long. The Darkroot rune allows you to phase through specific hollow barriers. The Frost rune helps you get past certain firey obstacles and lets you warp (kind of). The Terra rune grants you the ability to make earthy platforms appear, dash, and make plant enemies decay. There are three runes that you will have to find along your journey: the Terra rune, the Frost rune, and the Darkroot rune. Look! It’s a Piranha Plant! Is Mario around?
