There has been a resurgence of games focusing on witches as the main characters, and Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a charming example of this trend. Unlike many fantasy-themed witch stories, however, Mika and the Witch's Mountain draws its inspiration from a different source: Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service.…

I’ve played another game from this developer, Summer in Mara, and I can see the rich world-building the team is developing across all of its titles as characters from Chibig’s other games made guest appearances in this one. I’m not sure everyone will have the appetite for the fetch quest, back and forth nature of Mika and the Witch’s Mountain, but I found the map size to be appropriate to balance that out. While it may need a little more time brewing in the cauldron, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain was a fun ride and just goes to show that Chibig is one developer worth keeping an eye on.

Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a little tale of a little witch who wants to please her mentor, Olagari, who lives on top of Mont Gaun so she can get admitted into magic school. However, if she's the only student, does that even make it a school?

When everything comes together, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain is definitely far from the worst witch – the premise is pleasant, the visuals and art are cute, and short runtime means there’s no fat that needs trimming. But it’s almost completely unmemorable at every turn. Delivering parcels as a witch should be fun, but lacklustre characters and too much back-and-forth make this delivery service simply adequate.
