The Knight Witch
The Knight Witch is a Metroidvania blend from Team17 and damn did I have fun playing this game. Right from the start it was like a blend of a Metroidvania game mixed with a card battler with a bit of dark souls thrown in also. The beginning boss from the start showed how difficult it could be where it would not drop health during boss fights but if you did die you would keep all green shards which count as your currency in the game.
So that was a nice change of pace if you are used to roguelikes. You play as a character named Rayne who during the Great War had to sit out from joining other Knight Witches in fighting to save your land from “bad guys”. The story wasn’t anything too surprising but the combat was very fun. It’s like any bullet hell game where you dodge incoming bullets and try to take down bad guys but the card system is a different way of being a magic system in the game where you can get certain abilities like a hand cannon or shotgun for your bullets to fire differently or get skills ranging from a lightning bolt to an explosion that hurts you and other people.
I love how different this game was trying to be yet staying to the core functions that a Metroidvania is. Also, I should mention the link system where you find prisoners at random points in the game and can build a link with them and get stronger bullets, or the rate of fire increases. There is plenty anyone can enjoy from this game and I hope you guys check it out. With that being said our rating is as follows:
