The Knight Witch

It's just not fun The idea of a Metroidvania where you fly around and shoot enemies sure sounds original, but besides that, it doesn't do anything interesting and it just feels slow and boring, and the spell cards don't help much, specially because they are randomized from the ones you selected instead of assigning a single card to a specific button, and because they are randomized, you have to constantly look at the side of the screen while you are being attacked by enemies to know what spell you are using, which feels like a questionable design choice. Other criticism I have are the fact that there is not an option to turn rumble off if you are using controller, even tho that's an option available in pretty much every game that allows controller, and I don't understand why, did they just forget about it? It bothers me so much to play with rumble on, that's why I point that out. The art style looks fine, but the face expressions and the shape and placement of the mouth feels weird in many instances. This game has a weird "unpolished" feel, some details and small mistakes here and there that make it feel like the game wasn't fully polished. Not to mention how it takes 10 GB of …

The Knight Witch blends Metroidvania exploration, fast twin-stick shooting, bullet-hell encounters, and deck-based magic into an adventure that feels considerably different from the typical side-scrolling action game. Developed by Super Mega Team and published by Team17, it places players in the underground world of Dungeonidas, where fantasy magic exists alongside advanced machinery. Rather than relying on one central mechanic, the game continually shifts between exploration, intense aerial battles, character progression, spell management, and story-driven decisions. The adventure follows Rayne, a young woman who becomes involved in defending Dungeonidas when an army of War Golems threatens its inhabitants. As a Knight Witch, she possesses both combat abilities and magical powers, but her journey also revolves around earning the confidence of the people she protects. This gives the narrative a more personal angle than simply defeating an invading force. Rayne gradually becomes a public symbol, and the way she communicates with citizens can affect the connection she establishes with them. Movement is one of the game's defining features. Rayne can fly freely through environments i…

Really cool metroidvania/bullet hell combo that looks and feels good. Pretty short game so maybe wait for a sale but overall i really enjoyed this one. 8/10

Good art style and music. Story is alright and the gameplay overall is pretty enjoyable. This game is very difficult, at least for me. If you struggle too much, don't be ashamed to turn on some of the cheat codes in the game menu to your liking, it certainly made the game a whole lot more enjoyable for me. I dislike how much backtracking you have to do however. Get it on sales, there's enough content to last you a weekends, not a bad deal in my book.

Early game is VERY GOOD with new abilities unlocking and simple story evolving, then after an annoying water level the game became STEEPLY MORE CHALLENGING with enemies and their ammo overwhelming the screen space, and with NO DIFFICULTY OPTION I was going to leave a negative review. But turned out there are BUILT IN CHEATS, so I give this a solid 7.5/10, especially since the game was on sale :) Art style is nice, controls are fluid and responsive, some ability cards are useless, story is basic with some twist, would be nice to add tags onto the map to know where need to revisit later, and ability to teleport early on. GG HF!

I hated this game. It was so easy to make this a good game, but bad game design ruined it. Stay away.
