Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is an epic tale of a young boy, Oliver, who embarks on a journey to become a master magician and bring back his dead mother from the parallel world of Ni no Kuni.
Along the way he encounters some extraordinary characters, many of whom become helpful allies. They guide Oliver as he explores the vast world and learns the magical skills that will make him strong enough to face his most deadly foes, and ultimately survive an encounter with the White Witch herself.
The world of Ni no Kuni actually runs parallel to the real world. Players will be able to travel between the two. Characters who appear in one world appear in the other as well, but with different roles in this unique RPG experience.

Gotta Catch Em All
Ni No Kuni has a very special type of battle system, you are able to not only chose Oliver in battle but you will also have the chance to pick a familiar which you catch while you travel in Ni No Kuni world and let them fight for you ( similar to pokemon ). Familiars are creatures you've created urself or captured in your journey.. as i mentioned earlier familiars fight the battles for you and the world of Ni No Kuni has hundred types of familairs from fire type to water type to ice type and more with each familair having their very own attacks, you are able to switch between different familairs. Familiers share your main charcters health but they have limited amount of time they can stay on the battlefield so simply switch them till they charge up again.
Are familaiers able to evolve?
Famialirs sure are able to evolve, you can feed them and do so much more ( you can find out more in EGM magazine, i didnt read anymore to avoid spoilers lol ).
