A Witch's Tale (Nintendo DS)
Which Witch is Which? Liddell is a young witch-in-training who wants to be the greatest witch in the world, but she isn't willing to work for it. One day, she discovers a secret tome that unleashes an evil witch that has been sealed away for hundreds of years. Now accompanied by the tome's vampire guardian and newly-appointed babysitter, Loue, Liddell is forced to go on a journey to fix her mistake. In a Witch's Tale, the stylus becomes your magic wand. Control the entire game with the stylus! The intuitive magic battle system simply lets you touch and slide spells onto attacking enemies.
A Witch's Tale (Nintendo DS) Reviews
It has a nice story line with a light hearted "Samhain" feel to it. Kids & grown ups can enjoy this game.
The turn based combat is unique & can take a few tries to get used to but is not overly complex. Mazes are revealed as you wander thru them & randomness of mobs popping up is nice.
Good, easy fun.

I bought A Witch's Tale for Nintendo Dsi, I could not hardy put it down after that. This game is amazing for anyone who enjoys Alice in Wonderland, Grim Story Tales and more. The game is not hard at all, honestly I wish I did not play it so much because the game was over within a 60 hours of me opening the package. The only thing I will mention about this game is that you have to play the game twice! It has a alternate ending of the story line if you play the game twice. Trust me you will en-surely enjoy it!

I had planned to get this game the day it was released, but there were so many bad reviews/pre-reviews that I decided to wait. The last cute game I "needed" was My World MyWay and that let me down in terms of gameplay.
I got this for X-mas and have not put it down!
The art is beautiful, the characters are all taken from fairy tales and twisted around.
There is an "Alice" who is a mysterious and never-seen queen. There are more Alice In Wonderland characters including a creepy rabbit with mysterious rhymes, a gorgeous Mad Hatter that is scary and fascinating - and also rude and cryptic (if only they had taken his exact image for the new AIW movie...), a march hare who is a boy with ears, and a cheshire cat who appears and disappears...
Liddell is the main character and heroine - she's adorable, selfish, and sarcastic. A character that would usually be a side kick to the sweet "save the world" type, but she is the one that accidently lets an evil witch loose in her quest for power and world domination. Now she has to fix it. Asisting her is vampire Loue who had the job of guarding the trapped witch but obviously fsiled...
The first level is a Candy Land-esque place combined with "The Nutcracker". Claira -her name is Gretel here- is the princess (and twin to sister Hansel who is princess of the next land - an ice land)
Along your way you collect cards - from a deck of cards, spell ingredients, healing items, and doll who can fight alongside you in your party of 3.
The worlds are fairly expansive and there are several things you need to do or collect to move ahead to blocked off areas. many of them are puzzles (push cake in the river to drain it) Very standard RPG, but the leveling up seems to go a lot faster.
My only complaint is that you have to return each time to the beginning o the level you started in to get to your main base where you can access the town that has the "healing inn" option.
Other worlds follow the fairy tail theme -Dorothy (WOZ)is princess of an advanced technology world, there is an aquatic world ruled by a mermaid princess, a desert world ruled by an Arabian princess, and a nature world ruled by a princess from a Japanese fairy tail- Kaguya.
I also recomend this if you liked Rhapsody (ps port), and I place this above other RPGs for the DS, including Atlus games MWMW and Steal Princess.(!!)
This also comes the closest to reminding me of Touch Detective & Touch Detective 2 1/2.
*note* This game was brought to America by NIS from Japan, so keep your eye on Japanese news for a sequel!
