To face numerous dangers that despise her...
Will Moccamori realize her dream?

The Tale of Moccamori the Little Queen

Features and Changes

  • Free exploration and many sidequests, like all Witch Spring games.
  • Renovated combat style:
    • Instead of gaining consecutive attacks like Luna and Eirudy did, Moccamori learns completely new attacks.
    • Augment attacks with magic to overcome the limitations of physical attacks (similar to Eirudy's Magic Swordsmanship).
    • Moccamori will use "magical mediums" rather than "magical spells", imbuing elemental magic into different forms such as bows, spears, and swords.
    • Moccamori's magical awakening will trigger in a moment of crisis, similar to Eirudy's Soul Stone.
  • Minions will replace the Doll and Pet systems of the previous games. They can be recruited through the main story or from side events.
    • Minions can wield Moccamori's inherited weapons (besides the Talon, which is her weapon of choice); it's not as powerful as if she wielded them herself, but it will be a great help in battle.
  • Enemies will have more diverse attack patterns.
  • Moccamori can change outfits in the main story.

Guides

F.A.Q.

1. How can I check what skills and minion abilities do during battle?
Long-press on the skill and then swipe up to see an ability's description.

2. How does quick hunt work?
If an opponent's HP is lower than Moccamori's in-combat MAG or STR, she can instantly hunt it down and obtain materials without entering battle. Close-range enemies require STR, while mid-range and ranged enemies require MAG.

For more information, see Combat Guide > Quick Hunt Mode.

3. I'm having trouble getting the game to work on my phone.
Make sure you have the latest version of the game installed. If you're still having problems, there seems to be issues with the way the game interacts with Google Play (not sure if this problem also occurs on iOS devices). Use an app like DO Multiple Accounts or Parallel Space to bypass this issue, or do the following:

  1. Uninstall the game (backup your saves to the Cloud, you're going to loose your local saves)
  2. Go to your device Settings > Account > find the account used to purchase the game
  3. Delete/remove the account
  4. Restart the device and go back to Settings
  5. Add the account back to the phone
  6. Check the option to restore the game
  7. Once everything is restored, the game should run properly. Restore your saves from the Cloud to continue where you left off.
