Story

Forestia is a huge forest where plants have become aware and have built kingdoms. These beings, called 'Herbaes', live in harmony with nature, worshiping the forest as gratitude.

Some centuries ago, the Herbae discovered a way to obtain more resources through new technology. Although they had brought progress, they became ambitious. From their malice, a dark entity emerged and began to consume everything, polluting the forest. Four braves decided to confront it and sealed darkness with their weapons. Nature blossomed again and the heroes' weapons became relics. A new era of peace had begun, but the fear of a new malice emerging still remained.





In the present, Leafko, a very insecure girl, has been chosen as the priestess of the Citadel. Guided by the Monarch and her tutor Fertile, she must prepare for the Blossoming Ceremony, a ritual in which new plants will sprout. Frustrated with not being able to fulfill her tasks and the pressure that her tutor puts on her, Leafko has nightmares about a dark entity that she can't understand.

This game has a lot of heart and soul poured into the world and it's people! I tried Leafko on stream and had a good time all around. Initially, I thought the game was in Spanish only since that was the default language, but it's impressive that you have two different language supports that you can toggle in game.

The English is a bit wonky, but that wasn't enough to stifle the personalities of the characters (and even the NPCs). I liked Leafko, and wanted to see where events would take her. It really helps that this game's art style is very cute and endearing. The expressive faces sets and creative setting really come together to give this world a distinct feeling to it. There are some oddities, like how a fountain in the market square doesn't animate or how some of the RTP music tracks don't quite fit in well with the game's more relaxed tone (the victory theme in particular is a bit too bombastic and feels really out of place), but they aren't dealbreakers for me.

Battles are where this game takes a few missteps, though. Granted, I've only gotten so far as to beat the first cult member causing a scene in the town square, so I haven't done too much fighting, but the biggest issue I have is that the party's attacks tend to miss. A lot. And there is no way that I can tell to increase the party's accuracy or reduce the enemy's evasion. Battles are difficult and don't require too much strategy to win, so the frequent misses don't do anything but elongate an already simplistic fight. Also, while some semblance of similarities in skills are to be expected between Leafko and Fertile since Fertile is Leafko's teacher, but the game advertises itself as needing to utilize each partner's unique skillset to win battles. Not only are 90% of Fertile's skills identical to Leafko's but you can get through battles just by holding Spacebar and doing basic attacks. Fertile claims to be able to use fire magic if she could get her hands on a staff, so why doesn't she have a staff equipped at the very start? At least that would make battles a little more interesting if Fertile had a more distinct moveset at the very start.

Overall, though, I'm really enjoying my time with Leafko! I'm gonna keep at it and let you know more as I go along. Subbed!
