Knights Peak Interactive, in collaboration with developer Primal Game Studio and publisher U&I Entertainment, has announced the release of physical editions for Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. These retail versions are now available for purchase on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a dark fantasy action RPG featuring a 2.5D side-scrolling perspective. The gameplay loop focuses on skill-driven combat where players must utilise a combination of swords and magic to overcome enemies. The game features six distinct classes for players to master, alongside systems for deep character progression and customisation.
The game is set in a world that is slowly succumbing to a force known as Entropy. In this setting, humanity has retreated behind physical and ideological walls. Players assume the role of a character seeking to reclaim their destiny in a landscape defined by decay. The game includes a morality system where choices made during the journey can influence the outcome of the story. A key mechanic involves the ‘Witch Lantern’, an item that allows players to cross into the plane of Entropy.
Exploration is also pitched as a core component of the experience, with players navigating an interconnected realm. Movement is aided by tools such as a grappling hook, allowing for vertical exploration and the discovery of secrets. Outside of combat and exploration, players can manage a caravan, recruit artisans to craft equipment, and engage with a ‘New Game Plus’ mode that offers increased difficulty options.
