### 4/5 — I cant skip scene when i saw luna first time, stuck map

*2023-03-15, version 1.85*

Need help, I cant skip scene when i saw luna first time, stuck map

### 4/5 — A bit miffed

*2023-01-01*

I can deal with small glitches, like the dialogue not being entirely translated and occasionally restarting the game when it freezes on me.. and I can’t do anything but restart. But, when the dialogue glitches after an important battle I admittedly get lucky in, I restart, close the app and reopen it, and its as though the battle never happened… What a pain. I need a break from this game after that. I don’t wanna have to fight Crown again. Who knows when else it’ll happen either. And this is my first run through too.. I don’t know I have what it takes to see all the different endings through, though I’m enjoying all the non-rage-glitchy parts of this game. If this issue— which Im learning is called softlock, is fixed, I will change this to 5 stars and recommend to friends, since they enjoy similar games. I’m glad I’m starting off with this one and look forward to the next WitchSpring games I play, since certainly they’re better than this. Less glitchy.

### 4/5 — Current Problem

*2020-02-14*

The game is good but I can’t continue on the second quest after getting the King Pudding. It is stuck there.

### 3/5 — Good game, one issue

*2019-08-07*

To the Developers - please fix the soft lock issue.

So the game soft locks when trying to advance from one text box of dialogue to another by touching the screen.
You, CAN, avoid this by specifically touching the skip button on the text box that causes the soft lock.
However it is just easier and safer to just keep touching the skip button until the event with that specific character is over.

Here I will give a list of the event’s I have encountered the soft lock issue.
1-Ralph the merchants second request activation.
2-1st encounter with Crown
3-1st encounter with Luna
4-In Vavelia, post game, Michelle, BE CAREFUL, The soft lock happens on the 1st text box.
5-Gold Kiwi event, after giving it, spring water out of rock.
6-Rivia, after one defeats her.

If the Developer sees this, please consider fixing this issue, it makes most people quit playing and miss out on an actually good game.

This game is good for only 2 dollars.

Grammar problems aside, the game play is fun once you understand it, and figure out what you need to do, what materials to gather, how best to upgrade your stats so that you can advance the plot.

To new players, be patient, the game has it’s flaws but it’s beatable and if you give this game a chance you might like it.

### 4/5 — Bug at Elysian Temple

*2019-02-11, version 1.85*

The game is fun to play. But we can’t proceed the storyline further after we defeat a knight named Crown at Elysian Temple. To be precise, when Pieberry says a line “(Justice...).” The game suddenly stuck, I’ve defeated Crown twice, but the outcome is still the same. STUCK!

### 4/5 — Fix the game!!!!!!!!!!

*2019-02-01*

I love the game but it freezes at the same spot no matter how many times I restart it. I am in the temple where black joe gets bigger and saves me and I’m having a discussion after the battle is over. Please fix the game!!!!!

### 3/5 — Stuck at Elysion Temple

*2018-12-12, version 1.85*

Great game and series but I keep stuck at an event in the Elysion Temple when Pieberry says “(Justice..)” please fix it, I already replayed the game like 3 times yet it still stucks at that particular scene. I hope devs read this, thanks

### 3/5 — bug preventing progress

*2018-08-21*

the game is great. but there’s this freezing bug when I finish the dialogue for Ralph’s request for magic stone slab. It freezes regardless of whether or not I have the magic stone in my bag or not. I can’t continue playing unless I reload the app. When I return, I am at the road just before the guardian. 

please fix this! it’s no fun just training, gathering, and beating the same monsters over and over again :/ (assuming through ralph is how the game progresses)

### 4/5 — Title

*2018-03-01*

Games good and i like it but something glitched and i cant finish the game soooo yeah

### 3/5 — 환불가능한가요.

*2017-10-26*

분명 한글판으로 산거같은데 깔고보니까 영문판이네요;

### 3/5 — Rather self-destructive.

*2017-01-01*

It's a grindy RPG. For a mobile game, it's almost criminally overlooked, despite its flaws, and there are a lot of those.

In any case, it's fun. Controls are wonky at first, but you get used to them. I ended up using the same control scheme for the sequel, despite how weird it is. It seems intuitive at first glance, you know, tap the screen, and the protagonist moves there. Hold to keep moving, etc. The isometric view makes it a bit sensitive in some bits, though.

Combat is simplistic. At its core, it's just your stats against the enemy's. There are no heals, the physical attack is garbage, (which is understandable, I suppose. Still annoying that it basically invalidates the entire point of the strength stat, though.) and your choice in spells usually comes down to which of your spells does the most damage.

Pets are the only way to effectively change your build. Some pets are full combat, and some affect combat in some manner. They're pretty intuitive, all things considered.

The translation is almost laughably bad. It does get the point across, but the sheer number of grammatical or spelling errors still hurts.

Plot-wise, this game is solid. It has quality world building, character development, and even a selection of endings. Most of which are surprisingly melancholic for a game that usually stays light-hearted.

One of the things that peeve me a bit is that the game enforces a time limit of 100 (in-universe) days on the player. This is a grinding game. Sure, the story justifies it (kind of, I don't remember if they gave a reason why the springs shut down. The game just kind of tells you they do after 100 days.) but all the time limit does is punish bad players. A New Game+ kind of deal would help immensely in this issue, but since that's not a thing, my point stands. That's not to say the game is as difficult as I make out, per say. I finished it comfortably within 80 days, most of which was spent bumbling around, lost and confused. The game does give you some serious power boosts as you go through the story. Won't really stop you from getting your butt handed to you on a silver platter, though. At least, not until you get the auto-revive robes. Those are a godsend.

Game's good. If you can handle a bit of pressure, and you are interested in heavy grinds, good plot, and good characters, check this game out.

### 1/5 — 100 day limit

*2022-03-17*

The 100 day limit is the worst thing about this game. It’s completely idiotic and unnecessary. Came here from witch spring 3 expecting a good game and got majorly disappointed

### 1/5 — Bug in the third temple

*2019-05-25, version 1.85*

After i beat crown in the third temple, i got stuck. I did that 3 times but nothing has changed. Please fix it. I will give more rating if this bug will be fixed

### 2/5 — Great game, but lots of bugs/glitches

*2024-01-24*

My first time playing this and I love how cute the game is. 
But the glitches are the worst. I encountered one when I asked Ralph about his request (tried restarting the game multiple times but didn’t work), even though it’s annoying but at least it doesn’t really hinder the main plot. Another one I found is at the Eliycion Temple in the cutscene that appeared after I fought the golden-armored knight, which means I won’t be able to continue playing as I can’t end the cutscene nor continue the main quest 🥲
Some of the dialogues didn’t get translated either, so some of them popped up in Korean instead of English.

### 2/5 — Kurz vor Schluss hängt

*2020-06-01*

Ich bin schon gut voran gekommen, doch dann hängt es im Text bei dem dritten Tempel, wäre cool wenn es gefixt wird, ansonsten nur 2 Sterne 😥 was hat ein Spiel für einen Sinn wenn man nicht weiter kommt und dafür auch noch bezahlt hat 😞

### 2/5 — FIX RALPH GLITCH

*2019-08-16*

Since I found this glitch I’m thinking I shouldn’t have even bought the game, I see it was updated like a year ago and I’m very disappointed I also assume getting Ralph’s quests done is how to complete the game? 
the glitch is when you finish the first quest he gives u and u go back a couple days later and talk to him for the next quest, while he’s talking it freezes and you just can’t even do the quest so I think that’s a really bad bug please fix this I assume lots of players are mad about this so are me and my 3 sisters

### 2/5 — English please

*2015-12-13*

I purchased this game and greatly regret. The most important part in these types of games is the story, and the story is semi comprehensible due to really terrible translation.

### 3/5 — 汉化有问题玩不了

*2025-09-29*

简体中文翻译很多文字都是方块里一个问号这样

### 3/5 — Good but not perfected

*2020-03-21*

I enjoyed succeed the main quest. However I picked some bugs on my journey : I played with English language set, but some sentences were left in korean.

I also had some dialogues which made me stuck on the same sentence during a dialogue : 1. The merchant asking us to find him a golem tab stone, 2. While talking to Crown after fighting him for the first time, 3. While talking to the Snow Land Witch after fighting her, and 4. Trying to talk to Michelle after the end of the game.

### 3/5 — Zu viele Bugs 😭😭😭

*2019-12-12*

Bleibt einfach hängen mitten in den besten Momenten und kommt nicht mehr zurück 😭😭😭

### 3/5 — Bug

*2019-09-07*

The game is nice but freeze when the merchant ask to find the golem stone...

### 5/5 — My first RPG game back when 2015

*2024-11-28*

The graphics might not be much back then but the story is awesome and great I still play it today repeating the story i also finished the other witch spring games I hope they make more

### 5/5 — Nintendo switch port for the remake?

*2024-05-26*

I try to play this but my phone always runs out of space. I would love a Nintendo Switch port of the remake, so I can play this portably. Devs, please consider it.

### 5/5 — Best Game

*2023-09-30*

First off, lets get it out the way. This game is old, buggy and I’d advise sticking to the old art in the settings menu if you want to get around certain bugs. The graphics are also a healthy reminder that this game was made by one developer on their own, who had an artist that was still in education while making certain elements.

However, I would still say this is my favourite game, and beats out the remastered ‘Witchspring: R’ any day.

This is because it has a set of mechanics that work very well together:

The time limit, the brief tutorial and the lack of given direction after the fundamentals have been explained.

The time limit keeps you productive and aware that every action you take costs time, which is served well by the lack of specific direction, since progression is quite clear, but you need to explore the open world to do it.

The border-lining on cruel limit on your HP and MP may force you to choose between heading back home, restocking your points and trying the area again, all at the expense of potentially 8-15 hours of your 100 days; or pushing on and hoping you can pull through with what little points, potions and spells you have left.

The mechanics that exist work very well together, and that doesn’t even consider the room for preparation and planning, time and resource management and eventually how you choose a pet based on the stats you have.

The game is extremely engaging, and the mechanics are simple and easy to grasp very quickly.

This isn’t even to touch on the story, which during my first playthrough especially, had the tension and stakes tied to the gameplay very well, meaning my anxiety realising I have only one potion, half health and a scrap of MP matched the tension that the protagonist was experiencing.

I think despite the bugs, the game has found an extremely effective formula and executed it immensely well.

I really wish games after this one features the same time constraints and mechanics.

### 5/5 — Make a WitchSpring4 please!

*2018-08-21*

I’ve played the 3 games and they were fabulous . I love these games so much so please make another!

### 5/5 — Loved this game

*2018-02-03*

Tried the free version of WitchSpring 2 liked what I saw and decided to get the first game. As the title says, I have had a great time playing the game and am now looking forward to purchasing the second game.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-12-09*

Amazing Classic RPG game Highly recommand

### 5/5 — Amazing! But one recommendation...

*2016-11-02*

I absolutely adore this game! It's super fun and the storyline is great! However, no matter how fast I go, I can't seem to get very far into it because of the 100 day limit. I think you guys should add a continue story feature at the end so people can keep playing and not have to start over. Other than that this is one of the best games I have ever bought!

### 5/5 — Adorable Game with Great Depth

*2016-04-28*

This game is honestly the most fun I have had with an iOS game to date. The graphics and art style are enough to give you a cavity. The story is cute even if the translation is a bit off. The gameplay makes you think and harkened a bit to SNES era Zelda with more modern trappings. 

I recommend this to anyone that wants a well developed adventure game at a steal of a price.

### 5/5 — Cute

*2015-10-22*

This is a very cute exploring rpg with turn based combat and crafting. My complaint is I am on day 11 and still not much is going on, it seems slow to start and I'm starting to get afraid I will be at about the same point by day 100. It's weird you don't get experience in combat. You get experience by training at home and that takes up so much time I am worried to waste all my timetraining and have none left.. Don't get me wrong this is a great game, just a bit confusing as I have never played an rpg with a time limit before

### 4/5 — I cant get past after talking to the merchant

*2023-12-08, version 1.85*

I got stuck after talking to the merchant for the magic slab mission. Please help me
