July 2025

The Knight Witch feels like one of those games where there's a really good idea but the game itself wasn't flushed out well to match the idea. To it's credit, The mechanics are good. To me, the issue lies more with their quality of life for the game play experience and the bad difficulty balance decisions they made. Having a metroidvania that's also styled as a bullet hell with free movement (flying) is something I've never encountered before and it's honestly really fun. The downside is that it's harder to limit where the player can and cannot go in typical metroidvania exploring fashion aside from the typical dash. The other mechanics they have like the anvils and electro towers are good for their purpose of blocking secrets and progression off till later so all in all good design. Combat is also great, both as the player and the enemies. There's a good balance of enemy variety and also general power scaling as you go to different areas. The downside is that because of the bullet hell nature and enemy firing patterns there do feel like moments where it's impossible to dodge all the attacks but I'd give it a pass. As the player, there's an interesting split on whether you want to focus on your attacks or spells. Although part of me is annoyed they didn't incorporate that into the story. Meanwhile, there are many elements to this games design that makes it feel incredibly annoying to progress. For one, many of the boss fights are positioned such that you can't save and heal just before encountering them but instead you often have to go through several rooms, wasting time and sometimes losing health or mana. This often leads to you not facing the boss at your strongest (though I do feel ambushes serve as an exception). Among those rooms, many of them feel unnecessarily large and even empty. I imagine this is to try to have players spend more time in rooms despite having free movement. However, doing this just makes it feel like you're pacing back and forth instead of exploring. Finally, many of the boss fights don't feel well balanced and have what I would consider unfair mechanics. The biggest example of this is that in one of the boss fights the boss will constantly and randomly teleport. So there will be times where I just get hit by the boss that didn't project where it's going and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. The player also has a pretty low health pool and unlike most metroidvania's, you don't have much of a way to heal during or right after combat (unless you use cheats). Overall, I'm back and forth but I do think the creative mechanics and premise outweigh the tediousness and unbalance the game occasionally has. That being said I don't think it's worth 20$ so if you want to try playing a bullet hell metroidvania then I'd recommend buying it on sale like I did.

April 2025

I enjoyed the story and characters quite a bit. I really didn't enjoy the random card system, but it didn't stop me from having fun with the overall package.

Feb. 2025

This game is honestly really well made, and so far the characters have a decent story going on. Gameplay wise, the game so far has a decent difficulty curve, especially if you are trying for no hit runs on the ambushes or boss fights. If you are just trying to win, you have plenty of variety in your skill setup to do just that. Story wise, I will say so far it has intrigued me, i wouldn't say hands down the best, but definitely worth experiencing. I have noticed that most of it is told as background from characters. so if you don't interact with any npcs other than what is required. The story may be lacking. Art or Graphics wise, phenomenal, really well done. Overall I would suggest this game to anyone that is a fan of bullet hells and metroidvanias. And so far the back tracking is minimal unless you want to go for 100% run through, and even then it's been bearable.

Sept. 2024

Cool art, cool concept, some banger music too. But the actual gameplay should've been overhauled back in the early prototype stage. Deck system simply doesn't work in real-time environment, and doubly so in a real-time environment that requires constant attention and very precise movement. Player has to work around and game the sh*t out of the card system, instead of actually engaging with it. A sad example of a team that put A+ effort in all aspects, but that was too attached to thier 'pet system' that makes the whole experience decidedly mid. Still a thumbs up for effort, so painfully close to be great. Maybe some sort of a 'reimagined' edition?

Sept. 2024

It took me about 2 months of playing off and on (around 11 hours) to 100% the game. Do I recommend it? Yes. Was it what was I expecting? Not really. Bullet hell metroidvania sounds incredibly promising, and while the game is good it tends towards frustration. I would perhaps blame that on mana for cards getting funneled into powerful weapon cards and there not being a lot of unlockable metroidvania features. Some people with a better brain than me might make interesting decks, I made one that allowed me to use the most powerful weapon card in the game as much as possible (and I probably didn't do that very well either.) That being said there's no long-term missables, the story/art/music are good, and it drew me in enough to want to actually 100% the game.
