    This game comes with loads of great fan service, including a full voiced cast. Sadly, when you look at it as a hack and slash action game, the game has little depth. Still, if you can live with average gameplay there is plenty to enjoy here.

    Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time manages to capture the essence of the anime brilliantly. There’s plenty of fun to be had exploring Luna Nova as well as all the various dungeons. Some slow story pacing and frame rate drops let things down slightly, but if you’re a fan of the series, you should definitely pick this up.

    While the story may be enticing for diehard fans, those who aren't familiar with the Little Witch Academia franchise will find a little bit stiff and probably uninteresting.

    It’s quite sad that Chamber of Time so actively works against you in many ways. The tediousness of everything, from school exploration to combat, can really start to drag on you after a while, even if you do enjoy the story and characters.

    It becomes readily apparent that those who will enjoy Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time the most will be existing fans of the series. The storyline and new animations are worth checking out, especially since the second season is still a ways out. Even then, they may be hard-pressed to deal with both the tedious exploration and the unreliable combat. For them, the game may be worth getting for cheap. For everyone else, this should be a pass.

    Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time represents the show it is based on incredibly well when it comes to the look and the characters. That’s all it gets right, though, as the gameplay is just frustrating and tedious.

    Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is truly a terrible video game. There are signs of mediocrity between the seams, but it operates on such a fundamentally flawed level that it turns into a wrestling match between my sanity and its systems. I don’t know if it runs noticeably better on a PS4 Pro or the PC version, but an increase in technical performance does not excuse it of all the flaws in its design. I consider myself a fan of Little Witch Academia and Chamber of Time sometimes made me wish that I wasn’t.

I know this game is not perfect but as a fan of the anime, this is a good start for what's to come.

    And please don't trust the negative user scores. Either they didn't played the game and they just wanted to bash a game that isn't Naruto, Dragonball or SAO, or they are just pissed off that tgis game has a higher metacritic score than Seven Deadly Sins Knights of Britannia. Seriously, guys. Not EVERY anime game needs to be a musou or arena fighter.    … Expand

It's boringMy favorite anime is LWA, and I had a lot of hype for the game, although I liked the game, it must be said that it falls short. It's boring and the game play is simple, it's just throwing glitter, apart from the fact that the movement is clumsy, the good thing about the game is the graphics and the soundtrack, at those points it doesn't disappoint at all, but otherwise it's very bad worked, and that the game only lasts more or less 2 and a half hours
    The presentation videos are simple and could have been made better and in itself, the game does not give much of itself, therefore I consider it mediocre    … Expand
