You play as Rayne, a Knight Witch defending the underground city of Dungeonidas from a War Golem invasion. Her journey brings her into contact with the city’s people and the mystery behind the attack.
Rayne flies freely through connected areas, shooting enemies amid waves of projectiles and using dashes to evade danger. Auto-aim offers an alternative to manual targeting, while spell cards add attacks and other abilities to real-time battles.
Explore for secrets and new routes, then revisit areas with abilities gained along the way. Choose spells for a customizable deck, spend mana to cast them, and build public trust to grow stronger; optional assist settings let you adjust the challenge.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unusual mix of flying exploration, bullet-heavy shooting, and spell-card combat, especially the chance to adapt a deck to different encounters. Hand-drawn visuals and music are recurring highlights, and some reviewers also praise the characters and setting. Experiences vary: some find the combat engaging and challenging, while others feel its difficulty and navigation get in the way.
Encounter evil foes and choose whether you wield your magic or use your weapons and wits to take them down. With their flight capabilities, superior fighting strength and reality-bending magic, The Knight Witches absolutely control the battlefield!
Shooting or Spell Cards? Why not both? Customize your own unique playstyle, upgrading your Knight abilities for a more fast-paced shmup experience, or strengthen your Witch magic and explore tons of different deckbuilding strategies with over 30 unique spell cards to choose from.
As you journey across Dungeonidas, your heroic deeds and efforts will be seen and discussed by the citizenry. Knight Witches become stronger with gratitude and trust and they can earn it in many different ways, however, not all methods are sincere. Will you do anything to gain popularity, or will you try and stay honest? The choice is in your hands.
The Knight Witch has been lovingly designed as a Metroidvania without barriers; with an intuitive on/off 'auto-aim' system, world-altering 'cheats' and a focused main story navigation system - you will never get lost and you can tailor the game to your level of play.
The Knight Witch is brought to you by a veteran team of developers, with working experience on titles such as RiME, Moonlighter, and Plants VS Zombies.
