As a kid I was a huge fan of RPG games. Some of my favorite RPG games for Nintendo and Super Nintendo were Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and the  Final Fantasy series. That later carried into PlayStation with more Final Fantasy and then to the Xbox Consoles and beyond. That’s why I knew I had to review a new indie, 2D pixel, retro feel, RPG game called The Button Witch by DDreams Games when I saw it.

– Visit the Official DDreams Games Button Witch Website:

– Get more information and see a demo of the game. The company is also very active in Twitter.

– Support DDreams Games on Kickstarter

Gameplay and Plot

The Button Witch is complete with puzzles, interactive magic, escape rooms, riddles, and even a talking squirrel ghost. The plot begins with Ellen and her quest to complete an internship at the Witch Academy and find out what happened in her supervisor’s Manor. Ellen is a young witch who has been accepted for a exclusive internship before she can take the SAT (Superior Arcane Training) exam.

The game includes many interesting characters, plot full of twists, multiple endings, original music, original artwork by Italian artist Caterina Capogrossi, and even a unique magic system (See below).

Magic System: “Spells that interact with the enviroment, such as the “Magnet Spell” to move metal objects and the “Light Spell” to light up small fires or turn on lights! Unlock more as you progress with the story!”

One of my favorite things about playing RPG games is how you could get lost in them for days. The progression of the game, the leveling up, and the seemingly endless environment one could explore. The Button Witch takes the best of the retro gaming games and packages it into a modern fresh game with a retro feel.

Kickstarter Progress

The Kickstarter goal is $3,308 and there are only 28 days to go in the campaign at the time of this writing. If nothing else visit the Kickstarter for a preview of the ghost squirrel that will be featured in the game.

What’s Next For DDreams Games

DDreams Games and developer Jacopo Lorenzetti are moving full speed ahead with the development and launch of this indie game. They launched a Kickstarter around Christmas that still needs your support. There are many benefits to being a Kickstarter supporter including seeing your own statue in the game, your character as a talking portrait with bust artwork, to designing a puzzle room, and more.

The game looks like it’s going to be a good one, check it out and get into contact with the company if interested. It’s going to be fun!

Who They Are

“My Name is Patrick and i come from Aldingen a Town near Stuttgart in Germany. me and my small team creating this game called Foxfire -Legend Of The Nine Tailed Fox which basically tells the story of flynn a fox who will rescue his family from an evil Warlord. So Our game has already been green lit and the reason for this campaign is that we need more financial help to make this Game even better. A Version for PS4,3 and Vita is also planned which is combined with additional costs. Another wish is to make a a hand drawn intro and ending as a real cartoon like in sonic CD for example. So the more we earn here the better the game will be which does not mean if we earn nothing we will make a bad Game. So you can help to make a top game – IMPORTANT: the Video shows Alpha Footage please keep that in mind.”

Foxfire Legend Game

The Story

“It’s dark in Urbia, a futuristic city reigned by the evil dictator Ironlord. The people are afraid of their dictator but still obey as Ironlord is the only one offering them the defense to fend of all the potential attackers. One day Ironlord was told by one of his counselors that a huge attack force is incoming even he can’t defeat with his whole army and his only chance of victory is by creating a new weapon strong enough to end all wars and conquer all the other kingdoms, making him the ruler of the whole known world. The dictator, who believes into occulcy and magic, calls in his scientists to create him the strongest weapon. The only problem with the weapon is the huge energy consumption it has. It’s so much that no known energy source is able to supply enough power to activate this weapon. Ironlord in dire need for a solution looks through the old libraries finding a book about an old legend about the “nine tailed fox“. It is said that the nine tailed fox gets his power by absorbing the energy of surrounding foxes, therefore creating an endless arcane energy source called „Foxfire“. Flynn the fox and his family live in the Aztec forest. One evening the earth starts shaking, trees are falling over and a loud metal roaring is sounding through the forest. Flynn tries to hide in a tree stump but has to witness his family being captured by huge metal machines, Ironlords Harvesters. After a long time silence crawls back into the forest, the air itself is burning and Flynn understood what happened. He tearfully pleaded to the heaven itself for help until suddenly a ghost appeared right behind him willing to help him. Flynn and his ghost friend have to learn a lot to find the troublesome path to Urbia to save his family and all the other missing foxes from the Aztec forest.”

The Features

Explore over 30 Levels in five worlds plus. Hidden levels where you can revisit levels to get the good 100 percent ending. Main character with all necessary abilities to pass the game. Local coop mode game setting. Achievements unlockable on any platform, three possible endings, and Easter Eggs.

Risks And Challenges

“If the Kickstarter campaign fails we cant implement the futures we wish and if we reach our goal we can do it. So a higher Kickstarter end result will make the game better because we can afford ideas we have in mind – cartoon Intros Endings etc – better Graphics – PS4 and Vita Versions as well as a Windows Store Version as i mentioned before if this campaign fails we will only make a Steam Version for Windows Mac and Linux and learn from our fails of the past to make a better game next time. If you wanna try the experience simply download the alpha version here: http://www.foxxio.de/ff.zip this demo contains one half level a title screen a map screen demo.”

If you do nothing else play the video of the game. After watching it I don’t see how you’d not want to donate to this campaign. The game looks like so much fun. Give to their Kickstarter campaign today: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foxxio/foxfire-legend-of-the-nine-tailed-fox-plattformer?ref=user_menu I really want to see this game be the best it possibly can.
