Gaming Union: A Witch's Tale Review

Gaming Union: "In the end, A Witch's Tale does have a fairly solid foundation of a decent throwback to a traditional Japanese RPG. It's just that there's so many problems with the way the interface works and the pacing of the game that it just bogs the whole game down. The difficulty is also rather sporadic and it could make it hard for a younger audience to jump into.

Unfortunately for A Witch's Tale and developer HitMaker, this game is a far cry from being newbie friendly. While the difficulty may be a walk in the park, the game fails to provide the clear path that an inexperienced gamer would need to follow if they were to continue giving the RPG genre a chance."

GameSpot: A Witch's Tale Review

A Witch's Tale is a disappointing attempt at an RPG. Combat never challenges you, worlds are drearily executed even when they have interesting ideas at heart, and your main character is loathsome. Why waste your time on a deeply flawed RPG when there are so many excellent ones available on the same platform?
