Chantelise Review

This is the first ever game I really got into on Steam. I didn't think it was going to be all too good, but I was wrong.

You start off the story as a young girl named Elise, with her sister/partner named Chante.... Chante Elise... Chantelise. Despite the fact that the name of this game is...mediocre at best... I cannot deny that this game's name is in fact catchy. You are trying to find a witch because she apparently turned your sister into a fairy. That's basically the whole premise of the game, find this witch, and have her change Chante back to normal.

You have a blade, and your partner has magic. This game is a hack and slash game that allows you to use many skills to your advantage. But while this game is awesome, it is not an adventure game. It is very linear and the only secrets are hidden in every single room. The gameplay is pretty smooth, and the controls are easy enough to grasp.


The enemies when you first start out are very easy, and drop a lot of magic and gold. But as you get farther, the enemies get much, much harder, and many become hard to defeat without a particular type of magic. If you can lure an enemy off a ledge to it's death, the better off you'll be.

You can defeat enemies easier, and defend yourself more against magical or physical attacks, by equipping certain items. Many of which you can buy from the store, while others you can find in hidden chests along the way. This game has a LOT of room for error. When you die (and you WILL die), you keep all your money, so you can spend it on new armor and health upgrades. Which will make it so that you ca travel further before you die the next time.

All-in-all, this game is pretty appealing, and highly addictive. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play a more casual game.
