Release Date: November 29, 2022
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 Rime, Moonlighter or 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.
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
The Knight Witch is a game that has a lot to offer both fans of twin-stick shooters and Metroidvanias. Its moment-to-moment action is enjoyable and exciting as you avoid enemy bullets and try to counter them with your own attacks, and there’s a great sense of exploration. It’s a shame that some systems perhaps don’t quite hit the mark as they should, but anyone who can appreciate a game that takes some risks will very much enjoy this quirky adventure.
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.
VG247: 3 / 5 by Connor Makar
All in all, I came away pleasantly surprised by The Knight Witch. At a time where so many games are vying for your time and attention, a neatly packed present of an indie, clearly made by a team that knows what it's doing and a quirk not found elsewhere makes for a great refresher. While I don’t believe it quite makes the cut as a classic, nor will it make many game of the year lists, it is still well worth your time. Personally, I think Super Mega Team is a studio I'll be keeping track of from here one out.
