Which Is It? Metroidvania Or Deck-Building? The Knight Witch Is Both
After the recent The Serpent Rogue, Team17 are back, only this time with Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team’s The Knight Witch. Imagine them on a double bill with Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo?
Not only is this a Metroidvania shoot ’em up, but it also features some deckbuilding mechanics ‘against invading war golems’ in the underground city of Dungeonidas. And no, not that Golem.
Key features in The Knight Witch include
- Shoot ‘Em Up Spellcasting Sorcery: Encounter evil foes and choose whether to wield Rayne’s magic or use her weapons and wits to take them down.
- Body and Mind: The Knight Witch Duality: Customize Rayne’s unique playstyle, upgrading Knight abilities for a more fast-paced shoot ‘em up experience, or strengthen Witch magic and explore different deckbuilding strategies with over 30 unique spell cards to choose from.
- Build Trust & Make Lasting Bonds: Knight Witches become stronger with gratitude and trust and can earn it in many ways, not all of which are sincere – the choice to choose popularity over honesty lies in the players hands.
- Forward-Thinking Accessibility: The Knight Witch has been designed as a Metroidvania without barriers; with an intuitive on/off ‘auto-aim’ system, world-altering ‘cheats’ and a focused main story navigation system – players will never get lost and can tailor the game to their level of play.
- Super Mega Team: The Knight Witch is brought to you by a veteran team of developers behind titles such as RiME, Moonlighter, and Plants VS Zombies.
