1
Challenging combat
Combat in game is mainly real-time sword fighting with a focus on immersion and realism. The player can dodge, parry, and unleash a deadly combo or use special attacks to quickly overpower the enemy, who are also capable of the same. Combat in this game relies heavily on player's fast reaction and strategy. Also worth noting, most of the combat animations are high quality, motion-captured.
2
The story
The main plot is the contention that the forces of all sides revolve around a legendary treasure. With the ups and downs of the plot, the player may feel that the enemy is hiding behind him. Sometimes he can't distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys, and sometimes he is involved in plots and lies. Sometimes, he is touched by some sincere hearts. The protagonist is not a hero to save the world, but he dare to do what he thinks is right, not for fame and gain, nor for justice, nor for love, but for the beauty he has been searching for.

No real reviews. No user rating. Complete lack of posts in the discussion forum. Seems truly invisible to the world. Yep, I bought this game out of pity. The levels so far are short, the cutscenes are long and it has some translation issues, but what the hell... I enjoy it. I've spent $3 are on far worse. So why not, I'll recommend it.81 found this helpful
[u][b]-Quick Review-[/b][/u] Witch Sword is narrative-text-heavy indie game where you run to the right in a semi-3d hack and slash RPG indie game. [u][b]-Detailed breakdown review-[/b][/u] [b]Story:[/b] The story is told with text on the top and bottom of the screen and a jpeg still showing the "atmosphere". I didn't get too invested in the story because I wasn't particularly interested and didn't pay attention, I mashed the space bar to skip through the story section of the game. [i](sorry)[/i] Actually, no wait, I'm not sorry, let me explain why I'm not. Stories should be compelling, I need to have a REASON to want to know what's going on in it. Even in an RPG maker game, the story is framed in the game in a way which makes it easier to follow. Honestly that's the only redeaming aspect of RPG maker games: Having a story which can be easily laid out. Small text to the top and bottom of the screen isn't compelling at all. [i](It's like reading subtitles on a movie... which ARE useful... but not compelling outside of the drama being inacted in the movie)[/i] http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1337814302 Now that's not to say that Witch Sword needed to have fu…27 found this helpful
my god i have been waiting for cd projeckt red to make witcher 4 and here it is. first off the combat a much more simplified but satisfying system that allows you to punish those bandits!. second the sound track even though there is only 3 sound tracks in total 1 for menu 1 for cutscenes 1 for everything else it is not repetitive at all, it is quite refreshing to here such a finely crafted musical masterpiece allowing you to get carried into the witch sword world. the very simplified controls are finely tuned to allow the player to pull of some beastly combos and use you energy magic to kick some butt. in conclusion this might be the best game in the witcher catalog even though it does not have geralt and cirilla from gwent, griffith from berserk carrys on where gerry left off and finishing eridin of. i would definitly pay more for this game. in short i would pay again for a console port.12 found this helpful
This is an interesting experiment. By that I mean, it is unlike anything I've played so far, and it has interesting mechanics. For the price, it is worthwhile.9 found this helpful
Got it on sale. Fun and simple enough to play with my 4-year-old. I've been on the look out for such a game. We just skip the cutscenes.2 found this helpful
