I played this game, the artstyle's great, I like the way it plays, but the game definitely has some writing issues here and there. Story does make sense for the most part, and I enjoy that some of the events and dialogue are taken straight from the show and modified to fit in this game, it's almost like a nod to the show.
One criticism I have though is that it feels incredibly strange to have tons and tons of buildup to Elyon's corruption, i.e. taking her boyfriend out of the picture, destroying her friendship with Cornelia, taking her parents out of the picture, then lastly ruining her reputation at school, only to have the actual 'corruption' bit taking place in, what, 3-4 days?
I really do feel that the pacing of her arc would have benefited if her scenes were spaced out between Cedric's removal of her connections to other people, perhaps it could start out tame, and then ramp up as she trusts Cedric more and more? I don't really know, I'm not a writer.
Also, minor nitpick, but Hay Lin getting blackmailed because of rats in her restaurant's basement feels wayy too cartoonish to me, I think it would've made more sense and fit more with the game's tone if Cedric had instead used the spring water to bargain with her in the first place. It fits more with the game's view of him as some cunning mastermind, because the way it is right now it just feels as if Hay Lin is just being a dumbass for no reason.
Oh, speaking of which, Cedric really doesn't look good in this game. Even though the guy reads up on Earth's customs and how it works, he decides to just beat the utter snot out of Brian and throw him in the underwater mines in Meridian to take him out of the picture, and somehow gets caught off guard when people get suspicious of him?? It reads and feels like a joke. He also does other pretty stupid stuff, like putting a figurine into Irma's bag to frame her of theft, which well, just feels comical. He's got to have a lot of confidence in his ability to intimidate Irma into not realising that she most likely wouldn't get expelled from a school for stealing only once, or that she could ask for security footage to prove that she wasn't anywhere near the figurine. It really feels that she agrees way too quickly. These are honestly super minor, but man did they irk me.
This game did unironically get me into the W.I.T.C.H. series and comics through the cast though, hell, it's almost a showcase of the characters and the world that they inhibit. Caleb gets a sprite drawn, and it only appears like, once.
All in all, even though I ragged about it, I actually had a good time playing this game. The grind wasn't too bad for me, the dice game is easily cheesable with the power of rewinding time and makes good money, and the combat did actually have a tiny amount of strategy in using certain potions for the Larvek fight, which makes it pretty easy and consistent. Grinding levels was a hassle though, there's only so many boars and morpions I can kill without feeling bored, though I guess you can just play with cheats to avoid all that. I did also enjoy most of the dialogue with Miranda, too. Shame there isn't a whole lot of Will content though.
TLDR: nice game, really good artstyle. story is pretty solid, but cedric is quite goofy in this. Watch W.I.T.C.H.
p.s. I played an old version of this a long time ago and I have this vague memory of Cedric bringing Elyon to the fair and going on a Ferris wheel where Elyon then gives him a blowjob. I have no idea if I somehow hallucinated this or it was actually in the game at the time. I think it was v0.6? maybe
also, THANK GOD the artstyle deviates from the show and actually makes the girls look older.
