These characters only appear in their respective episodes, offering diverse strategies based on their unique abilities. Uncover their stories and conflicts, they may even aid Leafko's growth.​





What kind of characters will acompany Leafko? We should wait to see.


Story

Forestia is a vast forest where plants have become aware and built kingdoms. Leaves sprout from their heads, flowers adorn their bodies, and bark protects them from the cold. These beings, called 'Herbaes,' live in harmony with nature, worshipping the forest in gratitude.​

Centuries ago, the Herbaes discovered a way to obtain more resources through new technology. Although this brought progress, they became ambitious. Malice arose among the plants, giving rise to an evil entity called Miasma who enveloped the forest in darkness. Tired with so much destruction, four heroes embarked on a journey and seal that manifestation of evil in eternal radiance./size]





In the present day, Leafko, an insecure young girl, has been chosen as the priestess of the Forestia. Under the guidance of her tutor, she must prepare for ​the Blossoming Ceremony, a sacred ritual during which new plants will sprout. Struggling with the pressure, Leafko finds herself haunted by nightmares of a mysterious dark entity that she cannot comprehend.​

'Leafko - Chapter 6' realeases in May!

The adventure is almost coming to an end. With the last relic to obtain, the little plant arrives at a new place where she will have to collaborate along a new partner.


This has been the chapter that I have rewritten the most times. I hope that the final version of the story fits well. There are some small retcons out there, so it wouldn't hurt to revisit the game one more time.


"A pine forest covered in mist hides the last legacy of a mythical hero. A pair of elderly guards have received his message, to preserve the forest and the life that inhabits it. Explore the vast woods as you learn to protect others."






Pinoleo, the elder guard of the pines, has the 'Mastery' ability. Sacrificing his HP, he wields attacks based on QTE.

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!
