Almost (perfect). Just almost. I'll explain. Almost right from the get-go, this game's overall cute charm, unlocking new buildings/structures/tools and memorable characters had quite literally hooked me in. I was especially quite impressed by the character dialogues, the festivals (the festival minigames are varied) and of course, the blobs' adorable designs and personalities. With that said, the blob battling and breeding mechanics feels a bit unbalanced (bearing in mind this is an Early Access review). Having bred for two eggs, the game doesn't appear to show what the resulting child will inherit from its parents exactly (as in, what moves or abilities will pass over), especially given breeding takes about 4 in-game days to finally produce an egg. An option to decide on the appearance of the child blob before it hatches would be a nice touch too, although that's probably optional. Battles-wise, whilst the method of levelling up stats is quite an interesting one, this might only lead to an unnecessarily slow grind especially if you've hatched a newly-bred blob for your team and they'll need to play catch-up to match the stats of your stronger blobs. Levelling up works as follows: HP/Energy - each day, feed/play with your blob according to whatever food/toy they have a craving for Attack/Defence/Speed - moves in a blob's battle moveset is assigned either an attack, defence or speed icon. Use that move enough times in battle to progress its % meter and once that hits 100%, its respective stat will level up. The main battle mechanic involving a Recovery/Command/Cast timeline is pretty cool though, so I give credit to that. Also, it seems that if my blob(s) becomes blinded or poisoned, unless I have an item on hand to cure it, the status doesn't seem to wear off after battle, and may as well remain until I sleep until the next day. Probably worth pointing out. All that aside though, I will give this a thumbs up, as I really enjoyed the game's overall charm, especially seeing the coexisting harmony between NPC and blob (and mischief ensue at times). I'm also following the developer on Twitter and they seem to post/update fairly frequently, which gives me pretty good faith that the game will only improve once it reaches 1.0.

Heads up it is a slow grind, the battling is fun but the leveling is a bit of a struggle (I may be doing something wrong) I do recommend it if you like a game that will have you sat and learning. there are a few balance issues but again its a slow grind! the art style took me a minute to adjust to. Im looking forward to whats to come.

This game is amazing and is currently tied for my favorite game of the year next to Fantasy Life! There wasn't one moment where I was bored there was always something happening or something to work on in the game. Everything from the events to the character stories and more are all so well done and there is a ton of content in early release to make it worth diving into before the full release. 10/10 and works like a dream on the steamdeck. I can't wait until the full release update comes out!!!! ♥♥♥

This is a gem among games that unites two genres that henceforth (as far as I know) have not been united. You'll like this game if: - you played the classic Pokémon Games and always wished you could do more with the Pokémon than just fight - you like all the Farming Simulation Games - you specificially enjoy the graphics of the Story of Seasons Games - you always wanted to cruise around on a Steamboard You'll not enjoy the game if: - Let's not kid around, you'll enjoy it. The balance between pet battling game and farming simulation is a bit heavy on the pet battling side. So far, you can only farm to earn some money and feed food to the pets. But it's still early access. It looks like there will be a villager request board later on in development and I'd be hoping for certain buffs with certain foods that the pets can only get when eating homegrown and -cooked food. Despite being early access, the game looks pretty developed already and I can't wait to see what they're going to make out of it. So far, the only drawback is the time - there never seems to be enough time to really explore the blob world, if I have to water the plants before, even with my watering blob. And exchanging blobs is a pain, but I saw somewhere that there could be a blob management terminal or something like that, hopefully, it'll be faster then. Also, there are tutorial classes you can go to to learn to take care of your blobs, but there is nothing about breeding and it still confuses me a lot.

TL;DR Ova Magica has charmed me with its clever mix of creature-based RPG and farm-sim. The game is well thought out and made with obvious care. And it has its own twists! Creature raising/fighting, farming and socializing are the 3 cores that make this game whole. Each aspect supports the others, encouraging players to alternate between different objectives and giving them choices in how to progress. BLOB [*]Smart progression system: discovering new blobs usually means unlocking new abilities (making farming, socializing or combat easier or even opening up new areas). It makes you want to catch them all! [*]Multiple ways to get stronger [*]… but be aware the system might confuse you at first. You’ll get the hang of if soon though! (you essentially build the strength of your blobs by using certain skills they have, it’s unfamiliar but nice) [*]Battles are engaging (choices have to be made, you don’t just apply the same strategy over and over) but not harsh after you learn how the game works SOCIALIZATION [*]The characters were my main reserve when I played the demo. They felt generic. And I still think the beginning lacks appeal BUT: as you progress relationship (1 heart = 1 event) you uncover more and more nuances to the characters. Each goes through difficult events and learns to find their own strength. It’s a nice theme (another connected one is bad parenting (parents being neglectful, hostile or absent) which is astute in a game about raising (creatures) ). [*]Valuable in more than one way: gift, unlocking progression and building, or teaming up! [*]Easy enough but it still feels earned [*]No gift-giving mechanic (so relaxing... You can play without a wiki open) FARMING [*]Progression system: What to buy ? What to focus on today ? [*]Quality of life features [*]Not the main focus: you can make money farming don’t get me wrong, but I found it more rewarding to go into blob worlds for money and other resources Bonus point: Customization [*]Player’s appearance, house, yada yada, farm layout (it’s easy to do!) [*]Breeding to satisfy your own beauty standard is completely acceptable: I personally go for very silly looking combinations and I’m very pleased to report that you can have very strong, very useful and completely foolish-looking blobs to help you in all your endeavors! This game is smart with its strengths: there are nice gamaplay loops with creature raising/fighting mechanics interacting with social and farm ones. You want stronger blobs? Battle residents. They like you better, you win and gain a reward like money, energy or a resource you can use for your farming endeavors. Also, now residents are stronger and you can take them with you to blob worlds. It will be easier to progress further and gain more resources for your farm, they will like you better, then you can unlock more stuff, etc. Ova Magica is fun, kind, relaxing, engaging and simply a well made game. It has a demo (save carry over full game), the devs are careful of feedbacks, the game has lot of content and I will say it one more time: silly-cute looking creatures!
