You’ll find some as you explore and get some as rewards for completed quests or you can sell stuff in a chest outside your house, but this is all chump change and won’t get you very far. You’ll also need some money for the transaction. Some are guaranteed whilst some just have a chance to drop but these items can be taken to shops to craft food to replenish health and give temporary stat boosts or equipment, like stronger swords, bows, armour and accessories. The few boss encounters there are are one-on-one and I never died to them, barely took a hit even.Įnemies will drop items when defeated. That’s not to say I didn’t die, groups of enemies can time their attacks to make things very difficult for you, but dying only sends you back to your house the following morning with no other consequences. I killed far stronger monsters than I should have early on by just being patient, as my weak weapons were doing little damage but the enemy couldn’t hit me. When enemies attack you’ll see a cone of danger appear which should give you enough time to roll out of the way and keep wailing on them until they attack again. There are quite a few options for combat but this actually just makes it quite easy. On top of that you’ll gain access to magic and special attacks which can be mapped to the shoulder buttons and use a special metre which fills as you attack.

Switching between sword and bow requires changing what you have equipped, either by going into the menu (which doesn’t pause the game) or using a shortcut on the dpad. You’ve got basic slashes with your sword, you’ve got a bow for ranged attacks and a very generous dodge roll with invincibility frames. Out in the wild you’ll encounter monsters and the combat is relatively involved. You’re then given quests, both big and small, which will send you out of the village to explore all the surrounding areas, defeating monsters and collecting materials. By chance Nyanza is the grandchild of someone who used to live on and work a farm there so your home base is set. You play as Nyanza, a two legged cat soldier who is accompanied by his little orb-like friend Macaron, who are sent to Paw Village to help with the monster problem. Monsters have started to act up, leading people to believe in the return of The Calamity. Not that they’re the same game by any stretch but both have a reliance on resource procurement for crafting and generating funds. I can’t recall ever playing a game involving a major farming element before and yet after reviewing Graveyard Keeper (and its most recent DLC) I’m now reviewing Kitaria Fables.
