Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a released dark fantasy action RPG for PC and Xbox Series X|S, with a PlayStation 5 version also listed on the official game website. It launched on April 17, 2025. Its 2.5D presentation and Steam tags place it in Metroidvania and Souls-like territory, while the game itself centers on class-based combat, crafting and exploration.
What kind of game is Mandragora?
Developer Primal Game Studio describes Mandragora as a story-driven 2.5D action RPG set in a world declining under the effects of Entropy. The official site highlights dangerous bosses, allies, enemies and moral choices. Steam calls it a dark fantasy action RPG and lists Metroidvania and Souls-like among its user-defined tags; those tags are useful genre signals, not an exclusive official genre classification.
Steam also describes an interconnected world to explore, monsters to fight, and weapons and items to craft. Players can choose among six classes, giving the game a class-based RPG structure alongside its action and exploration.

Is there a physical Xbox copy?
An official Kickstarter FAQ described console physical copies as a plan, and a GAME España catalog search result refers to a collector’s edition. That does not confirm current stock, the exact physical Xbox edition or a current Amazon listing. The Xbox store’s digital editions do not establish that a disc version is available. Check a retailer’s live product page and verify its platform and edition before ordering.
