Release Date: May 15, 2015
Mystik Belle is a crossover between elements of Metroidvania games (which is a genre that was pioneered by the renowned Metroid and Castlevania games) and mechanics of traditional point&click adventures.
Mystik Belle is a hybrid of point&click adventure games and metroidvania games - a sub-genre of platform action games, which includes, among others, the famous Metroid and the Castlevania series. Mystik Belle was created by WayForward, a Californian studio in collaboration with the developer studio of Last Dimension.
In Mystik Belle we play as a beginner witch called Belle McFae, who tries to deal with the problems plaguing the Hagmore sorcerer's university, where she has just started her studies. Our task will be to find the three ingredients needed to prepare the magical Walpurgisnacht infusion.
Mystik Belle on PC, XONE and PS4 is a two-dimensional platformer that combines elements known from games such as Castlevania and Metroid with puzzles and a focus on exploration, which are typical for traditional point&click adventures. The player observes the action from the side and travels through different, colorful locations - catacombs, laboratories, dungeons, forests - all while solving puzzles and overcoming threats by using a magic wand.
In the production you can find 60 types of monsters, enourmous amounts of puzzles and secrets, and even a character development system based on RPG games. All this is accompanied by a solid dose of humour.
Mystik Belle has a two-dimensional, hand-drawn graphics design, maintained in the style of an animated film.

PlayStation Universe: 7.5 / 10 by John-Paul Jones
A whimsical and charming take on the Metroidvania formula, Mystik Belle's infusion of puzzle solving elements make it feel much fresher than many of its genre stablemates.
Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Chris Moyse
As someone who grew up adoring the Dizzy series, I definitely got a kick out of Mystik Belle's whimsical trip down memory lane. Props should also been given for some lovely colourful sprites, cute characters and nostalgic tunes from yesteryear. But it is certainly a short trip down said lane, and one which will present the majority of gamers with very little resistance.
GameSpace: 8.5 / 10 by Jacob Semmes
Mystik Belle is an indie game that delights on many levels. It’s lighthearted tone and lovable art style works in tandem with clever puzzles to create an experience that any gamer can enjoy. Every new item had me either laughing at the ridiculousness of it or the sheer absurdity of how many items I had. Every new ability made me think about which area I could possibly use it in an act of rediscovering spots in areas I’d already explored, an art that most games have forgotten. Give Mystik Belle a go on Xbox if you don’t already have it. It’s well worth the asking price, and it will most certainly cast its spell on you.
