A metroidvania game with shoot'em up and card game elements. In The Knight Witch we play as Rayne, who traverses the underground city and eliminates hordes of enemies, making use of white and firearms and magic.
The Knight Witch is a metroidvania with shoot'em up and card game elements. It was developed by an independent studio Super Mega Team, formed by the people who previously worked on projects such as Plants vs. Zombies series; its release was handled by Team17.
The Knight Witch takes us on a journey to a fantastic world, to be precise - to the underground city of Dungeonidas. The metropolis, whose inhabitants led a peaceful life, was attacked by an army of war golems. The main character of the game - Rayne - as the title knight-witch, takes on her shoulders the task of dealing with the threat.
The Knight Witch is a side-scrolling game. We mainly travel through the vast locations and eliminate hordes of enemies. On our way we face both the cannon fodder which appear in mass quantities and much more powerful bosses.
The battles are extremely dynamic, and during them we have to be in constant motion to effectively dodge the enemy's bullets and launch quick counterattacks. This task is made easier by the ability to fly, which Rayne uses eagerly. The heroine can fight both in close combat, using cold weapons, as well as at a distance, using firearms and a wide range of spells. The latter are presented in the form of cards, which we can choose ourselves; thanks to this we can create a deck that will be best suited to our style of play.
In the game there is an original system of character development. Rayne grows in strength, thanks to the adoration of the inhabitants of Dungeonidas. It depends only on us whether we succumb to temptation and lie to the citizens in pursuit of their love, or decide to be honest and reveal the painful truth, at the expense of slower development. Either way, over time we unlock new spells and combat skills and upgrade the ones we already have, allowing us to face increasingly powerful opponents.
Colorful graphics in The Knight Witch game is in cartoon style. We can listen here to a dynamic soundtrack that encourages to battle.

Game Ratings for The Knight Witch Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by James Cunningham
The Knight Witch is excellent in a lot of ways despite its forbidding difficulty, the kind of game you'll be glad to have beaten even if the journey to completion is sometimes a bit much.
COGconnected: 75 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
The Knight Witch is an intriguing amalgamation of genres. Flying through stages and battling foes feels great. The unique approach to special attacks and the Metroidvania style progression work extremely well. While the narrative intrigues and includes some innovation, its presentation is simple. Regardless of this, the game is a blast and freshens up the shmup genre.
TheSixthAxis: 5 / 10 by Adrian Burrows
The Knight Witch could have been fantastic. It was so dang close to being something very special thanks to its fantastic visuals, great gameplay and compelling story, but it's instead plagued by frame rate issues and awful difficulty spikes rearing their slappable faces to ruined the fun. Fingers crossed Super Mega Team takes the time to thoroughly patch The Knight Witch and make it the game that it deserves to be.
