Little Witch Nobeta
Little Witch Nobeta received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregator website Metacritic.[9][10] Aggregator OpenCritic found that 57% of 15 critics recommended the game.[11]
Christopher Farris of Anime News Network gave the game an overall 'B' rating, calling it a "Baby's First Dark Souls".[3] Adam Haffen, writing for Siliconera, rated the game 8/10 points, praising its "incredibly fun" boss fights, but finding most of the regular enemies to be just "annoying obstacles". Calling it "not perfect", he nevertheless stated that he would return to play more of it.[2] 4Gamer.net praised its "cute" character design and voice acting.[12] Ryan Thomas Bamsey of TheGamer, on the other hand, rated the game 1/5 stars, calling the combat "functional", but "boring" and overly easy. He claimed it "suffers from a total lack of taste", and that it was "filled to the brim with egregious, pervy fan service", noting that a large amount of enemies, as well as the player's companion, were anime girls.[13]
The game's Switch and PlayStation versions were the 13th and 17th most sold in Japan during its debut week, selling 12165 copies.[14] In total, more than 250,000 copies have been sold since the game entered early access.[1]
