You play as Sil, the Thread Witch, whose task is to round up her fellow witches for an annual tea ritual and keep the Garden from falling apart. The story unfolds across five chapters, with each witch and her domain part of Sil’s journey.
Fight through the Garden with giant scissors, spells, and special skills. Choose a loadout and use attacks and dodges against groups of enemies and bosses with distinct attack patterns.
During each run, strengthen abilities with Imprints and Relics that can change how familiar skills work. Death also leads to permanent upgrades, while three epilogue chapters and customizable difficulty offer further ways to progress.
Players often praise the cute art and character designs, the witch-themed story, and the way chapters introduce the cast. Many describe the combat and boss fights as enjoyable, with some appreciating the approachable difficulty and build options. Others find that preselected loadouts and limited in-run choices make runs feel repetitive, and several note that the campaign is short or that the epilogue challenges feel uneven.
Garden of Witches is a fast-paced action roguelike where you wield giant scissors and use witchcraft to bring down other witches in the Garden. You’ll need to master enemy attack patterns, create powerful builds, and fight to bring together all the witches before the Garden falls apart.
As the Thread Witch, you need to gather all the witches for an annual tea party ritual, but they aren’t going to attend the tea party willingly. Face distinct bosses with their own personalities, transformations, and attack patterns. Learn how each one fights, and find the opening you need to beat them into submission.
Choose your favorite Scissors, Spells, and Special Skills from your Armory and personalize how you fight to save the Garden. While going through the Garden, you will be able to strengthen the abilities you love with Imprints and Relics and reshape how familiar skills behave from run to run.
Explore a hand-drawn world of mesmerizing witchcraft and wayward witches, each with their own unique domain. Get to know them through the game’s main five-chapter story arc and continue your journey through a three-part epilogue arc.
