The Knight Witch's Hour Is Coming Just After Halloween

Any game with ‘knight’ in it deserves a biased look, but The Knight Witch, published by Team17 and developed by Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team (wow), is a Metroidvania bullet hell that looks, well… brilliant.

Set in the underground city of Dungeonidas, full of unrelenting war golems. Lovely. As Rayne, you will be able to customise her powers by investing in a faster shoot ’em up experience, or perhaps improve her witch magic, picking form over 40 unique cards in the deck-building aspect of the game.

Key featured 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 40 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 including RiME, Moonlighter, and Plants VS Zombies.
