Because of the unavoidable grinding, Kitaria Fables turns otherwise fun gameplay aspects into repetitive chores.

Kitaria Fables isn’t perfect and has a handful of small issues. Still, with a good mix of adventuring, farming, and crafting, it’s a fun game whether you experience the game solo or with a partner. Grab your sword and prepare for a meowtastic adventure.

While playing, I took my time and examined many details. I spent a little over 20 hours in Canoidera. But of course that depends on how you play. I took my time looking at everything, as I just mentioned, and also let the character design sink in. It was a cute little adventure for a few relaxing evenings on the sofa. However, with more action than farming. If you're looking for a light, cute adventure, I can recommend Kitaria Fables. Especially for the younger members of the family or as an RPG starter.

The description of Kitaria Fables on the Nintendo Store calls it “a delightfully cute action-adventure RPG with farming and crafting”. As someone fond of farming simulations like Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley, I was immediately interested in giving the game a try. I dove into it expecting a rewarding experience, and after playing for a few hours, admit that the aforementioned description is accurate. The game is incredibly cute, it does incorporate elements of action, adventure and roleplay into its gameplay, and it does involve farming and crafting – but, sadly, it didn’t turn out to be the dreamy experience I was hoping for.

Kitaria Fables is a fun, dungeon crawler with a relaxing farming sim twist but it doesn’t quite live up to the same hype as other games in the same genre. With that being said though, its simple gameplay mechanics make it easier for younger audiences to pick up and play.

Kitiara Fables is a fun action RPG, with significant time spent farming in between quests. Though there are some issues with couch co-op, the story is still entertaining enough to recommend a look.

A fantastic tribute to Fantasy Life that nails the kind of grindy combat that many people love, Kitaria Fables is genuinely sweet and impressively well-made for a three-person team in under three years. If Fantasy Life is a Wagyu beef steak, Kitaria Fables is a really, REALLY good burger. If you're jonesing for a tasty action-farming-adventure, Kitaria Fables has you covered.

Kitaria Fables is intended to reward the most patient players . Having to plant, water, mow and mine to be up to the curve of difficulty that the game presents us, can leave the most impatient unwilling to complete this experience. However, getting involved in this system brings a feeling of realization that still has the premise of seeing the unfolding of the story and all its twists in this adventure with cats, goats, tigers, bears, among others.

Featuring a world of cuddly anthropomorphic animals, Kitaria Fables is a game that manages to balance action and simulation elements. It focuses on generating a cycle of combat, gathering materials and obtaining items, creating a pleasant experience. Gamers who enjoy action and farm games will likely enjoy it at their own pace. However, the feeling is that the game could go a little further to make something more memorable.

With casual and relaxed mechanics, Kitaria Fables is a very nice addition to Switch's library. Its ability to design an immersive gameplay, made up of interesting combat and responsive mechanics, adds up to an aesthetic full of cuteness. As a result, we have a friendly and cordial adventure.

Kitaria Fables features a charming world and has a solid, albeit straightforward, story but its focus on grinding, lack of character interaction, and lackluster farming hold it back.

With its cute looks and furry battle elements, the game has the merits of a typical RPG with a friendly look. Kitaria Fables can be a decent entry RPG to the younger audience as well as those who are getting sick and tired of dark and grimy fantasy worlds, this one can be a breath of fresh air for some.

With all this said, there is enjoyment to be had in Kitaria Fables if you can look past the clunkiness. The combat, for one, feels really great and gives you a ton of abilities as you progress through. Farming is also a satisfying system. If the game had just lent harder into one aspect, we can't help but think the end result would have been a tighter experience. There were times when it felt like we were playing a classic original Xbox title with its presentation, which lent a nice charm. Unfortunately, there's only so much that can carry you through its 20-or-so hour-long story.

Outside of iffy sound design, Kitaria Fables is an outstanding game from top to bottom.

Overall, I found Kitaria Fables to be an okay game. It’s a cute indie game full of adorable animal characters and an interesting enough story. But the endless fighting of the same enemies over, and over, for bettering my equipment to survive the next area of monsters, really burned me out and distracted from the charm. If you love games where you’re constantly fighting monsters for materials and equipment, and you don’t mind every now and then taking a break to chill and farm, you’ll definitely have a good time with this one. Sadly, if you’re looking for a new farming sim to relax with, I would look elsewhere. The farming in Kitaria is only there to provide the crops and/or income required for your adventuring, nothing more.

Kitaria Fables is a simple RPG with touches of resource management games where we must fight the monsters that haunt our village while collecting resources to improve our equipment and help the villagers.

When Kitaria Fables works it works really well. But when its issues begin to arise, the experience of playing through it can get awfully frustrating. These unnecessary design oversights detract from the game's clear strengths. Regardless, it isn't bad, and given its relatively cheap retail price, it is probably worth giving a shot.

Kitaria Fables is an incredibly fun RPG that combines the exploration and fighting style of Zelda with the farming and village gameplay of Stardew Valley and the cute animal characters of Animal Crossing. I played this for hours at a time, unable to put it down.

It might sound like I'm being quite critical of Kitaria Fables but I did actually have a lot of fun playing it. It never quite reaches its full potential, but as long as you don't mind that it's quite grindy in places, then it is a worthwhile adventure. There's also a couch co-op mode which is perfect if you have been looking for a simple RPG to introduce to a younger gamer or if you just want something low key to play with a friend.

A nice and interesting game, that without being perfect has managed to abstract me completely and get me into its proposal.
