ZTGD: 7 / 10 by Drew Leachman

In the end, Mystik Belle is a decently fun game that has a few issues when it comes to the action more than anything. Luckily, the puzzles and item trading are the main focus of the game, and it is the best part of the entire experience.

Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Chris Moyse

As someone who grew up adoring the Dizzy series, I definitely got a kick out of Mystik Belle's whimsical trip down memory lane. Props should also been given for some lovely colourful sprites, cute characters and nostalgic tunes from yesteryear. But it is certainly a short trip down said lane, and one which will present the majority of gamers with very little resistance.

Mystik Belle is a hybrid of point&click adventure games and metroidvania games - a sub-genre of platform action games, which includes, among others, the famous Metroid and the Castlevania series. Mystik Belle was created by WayForward, a Californian studio in collaboration with the developer studio of Last Dimension.

Story

In Mystik Belle we play as a beginner witch called Belle McFae, who tries to deal with the problems plaguing the Hagmore sorcerer's university, where she has just started her studies. Our task will be to find the three ingredients needed to prepare the magical Walpurgisnacht infusion.

Mechanics

Mystik Belle on PC, XONE and PS4 is a two-dimensional platformer that combines elements known from games such as Castlevania and Metroid with puzzles and a focus on exploration, which are typical for traditional point&click adventures. The player observes the action from the side and travels through different, colorful locations - catacombs, laboratories, dungeons, forests - all while solving puzzles and overcoming threats by using a magic wand.

In the production you can find 60 types of monsters, enourmous amounts of puzzles and secrets, and even a character development system based on RPG games. All this is accompanied by a solid dose of humour.
