Knight Bewitched

This RPG is simple, but it still checks a lot of boxes. The characters are relatable, which makes the story much more interesting and the humor is pretty good too if you've been around the block enough times so to speak. Lots of 4th wall humor too, but not so much that it detracts from the main story. It has its flaws, but I'd still recommend.

I typed "yuri" in the store, I saw this, I picked it up, and [b]I had a good time with it[/b] over the weekend; isn't that nice? While it might not be anything special, it is well made. The combat was engaging, it definitely has even more depth than what I had the necessity to experiment with since I went with Normal difficulty, but it was the right balance for me. The plot is pretty straightforward, [u]there isn't a lot of dialogue and cutscenes are few[/u], which means the cast isn't developed much; despite that I found the characters likeable enough to see their adventure through (got all the achievements too). As other players mentioned, what little romance there is feels clichéd and tacked on, [i][u]but is that a flaw[/u]?[/i] It is what it is, there are countless stories out there featuring the most generic guy getting the girl, the world is full of hetslop and of its enjoyers... Personally I do think that, [b]even with a really simple execution[/b], slaying monsters as a lesbian knight with the aid of a woman who has a crush on you has its charms!

Knight Bewitched is a compact turn-based JRPG that captures the spirit of classic 16-bit adventures while placing character relationships and romance at the heart of its story. Developed and published by Joshua Keith, it avoids trying to overwhelm players with enormous environments or excessively complicated mechanics. Instead, it offers a focused fantasy journey built around exploration, traditional party combat, character progression, humor, and an unexpectedly tender relationship between two women who begin their adventure on opposing sides. The story follows Ruth, a knight who has recently helped defeat the dangerous Typhus the Younger. Her next mission sends her after Gwen, a witch believed to be responsible for poisoning the people of Northshire. What initially appears to be a straightforward monster-hunting assignment changes dramatically when Ruth becomes sick and Gwen saves her life. Convinced that the supposed witch is innocent, Ruth refuses to carry out her orders and is consequently imprisoned under suspicion that Gwen has placed her under a spell. From there, the story expands into a larger adventure involving Ruth, Gwen, the elven squire Stray, and a mysterious rogue…

Quite enjoyable game. The story is simple but has nice flow and twists. The combat on higher difficulties makes you strategies. The art is nice and so is the music choice. And all that in 16 hours that took me to complete everything the game has to offer.

While my heart will (likely) always lie with Superstar Saga as my favorite RPG, so far this is a close second. I love the vast amount of options given for gameplay, it leads to a very customizable moveset, and I didn't even find most of the secret areas, there's so many I didn't even need to use items most of the time, cause my movesets were usually enough to carry me. I of course love the story & characters (more so the characters as the story is fairly basic for an RPG), they're all given a lot of backstory & depth, my favorites of course being Ruth & Gwen and their blossoming romance (speaking of, the story actually went on for a longer time than I thought, given they got married shortly after their big adventure. Who knew travelling by ship took a long time). ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the jokes always got me, especially the one about Ruth's innocence towards the end. Tho while I played on normal mode, the game was incredibly easy, likely due to giving too many resources, so it's not common that you're under threat of dying. This led to a very underwhelming final boss, like darn, Typhus didn't put up much of a fight, especially cause you get a full healing item right before it. But ou…

cute and charming. doesnt overstay its welcome. some references might be a bit dated and it is quite whimsy.
