Mika and The Witch's Mountain

Mika and the Witch’s Mountain is such a cute game. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was playing it, and I finished it in a day because I just couldn’t stop playing. It has 2 missable achievements and takes around 8 hours to complete.

What a lovely adventure game! A game inspired by Kiki’s delivery service while still being so wholesome and so freaking cute. You play as Mika, who is ready to get her Witch training. She is a bit overconfident, and when she shows up at the Witch’s house, she gets a rude awakening.

During the starting cutscene, your broom will break, and you need it repaired. You end up helping out the locals by delivering packages to and from them. However, delivering packages is a delicate thing ( I wish the real-life postal services would take that into account a bit more), so some packages have breakable things in them while others can’t get wet, and a small amount of them are time-sensitive. You can see the package’s status, and I highly recommend checking that before handing them over. If it got damaged in some way, you can delete it and try again. I highly recommend doing that if you want to unlock all the achievements, as this is one of the missable achievements.

What I find a very bold move that totally makes sense story-wise is that your first broom is hard to handle. It just doesn’t work and feels janky. But this is on purpose. After just a few deliveries, you’ll get an upgraded version, and another after more deliveries. The last broom will feel so good, but by getting a horrible broom at first, they really hammer home that feeling of how good the later brooms feel, not just faster but less janky as well.

The achievements in Mika and The Witch’s Mountain are great. I wish there weren’t missable achievements ( getting all green stamps + giving away your Witch items) but I can see story-related how it makes sense that way and not adding an option to change the outcome. All the other achievements are for exploring the island and doing all possible things. That just feels so great! It rewards you for exploring the world while also being able to tell you what you have missed when later on checking which achievements you’re missing. The only achievement that was less clear to me is for the races. You not only need to finish them all but receive a gold cup in them as well.

I give Mika and The Witch’s Mountain 4,5 out of 5 stars.
