The Knight Witch Reviews
The Knight Witch not only looks stunning, but the gameplay is tight and inventive, providing an enjoyable bullet hell extravaganza.
The Knight Witch is an endearing tale that perfectly blends fast paced shooting and satisfying spell casting. From the sensational artwork and score to clever game design, the entire experience was remarkable.
It is no longer that the metroidvanias have a pull that I hope will continue to last for many years. It is not the fact of hybridizing genres either, although here a plus of originality is achieved for it. It is to do it in a very good way, in a very fun adventure. The Knight Witch not only proposes metroidvania, bullet-hell and deck-building card, it is that it does it with great ease, understanding what it is, and adapting perfectly to any viewer who enjoys adventures, and not limiting himself to those skilled with the pad or niche shmup players, but also giving them challenge and bait. If the proposal attracts you and attracts your attention, but you think that this Metroidvania 'ship' game may not be for you, trust me, it is.

Behind its beautiful art, The Knight Witch houses a frantic and deep game, both for the personality of its story and for its ability to combine different genres in robust gameplay. In this way, manifesting herself as a true Witch Warrior, the brave Rayne casts a powerful spell and creates a journey that proves capable of enchanting everyone on Switch.

The Knight Witch is a great mashup of two popular genres (Metroidvanias and bullet hell games), with fun and exciting action that keeps you on your toes. The story and likable characters further help enhance the experience.
If you like the genre at all or don't mind a good challenge, The Knight Witch is an almost obligatory purchase. A national product with an almost perfect finish.

The Knight Witch is a pleasant surprise. Its interesting combat engages with its challenge and the simple story makes you want to see Rayne's journey to its conclusion. The game has its problems (such as difficulty spikes), but it's certainly a recommendation for those who like bullet hell with a touch of exploration.

The Knight Witch is a fantastic freeform flying, bullet hell metroidvania with a fun, if unsubtle, narrative that should last about eight to ten hours. Although, that very aggravating water level may be a bit of a turn-off to many, but if you can get through that one irritating level, this is definitely a game worth recommending.
The Knight Witch is a solid shoot'em up with a metroidvania progression where exploration of beau-tifully designed levels is mixed with frantic shooter action, which sometimes turns into a bullet hell. The card system for managing special abilities invites us to experiment trying to sort out the most appropriate build for each type of situation, and the character build, although quite simple, requires tactical choices that influence the gameplay. The narration is maybe too trivial, often tempting you to skip some dialogues, but the shootervania formula works and the game is challenging and a lot of fun.

The Knight Witch is a super fun game an original take on a few different genres. While the game isn't perfect, I do think people should go out of their way to try it out.
The game’s eeriest moment is attuned to the politics of denial and unresolved emotions. The final boss, a manifestation of the existential crisis that faces the planet, is extremely hard. It’s far easier to accept The Knight Witch’s offer for Rayne to just walk away from this battle and enjoy the next few years, hoping that maybe one of her allies can stop the world from ending. But that leads to an unsatisfying ending, with Rayne haunted by the question: “Was there more that I could have done?” This narrative beat is a bleak and brutal reminder that if we all keep blithely enjoying our lives instead of fighting the toughest of battles, we may come to regret it.
The Knight Witch is an easy to recommend entry in a genre loaded with fans who may want to try something different, but also a good starter title for those looking to get acquainted with 2D action games.
The Knight Witch is an engaging shoot 'em up/Metroidvania that features a fun and unique world.
The Knight Witch doesn’t execute all of its ideas perfectly but it manages to be a beautiful and fun Metroidvania in the end. The story and characters are interesting, the twin-stick shooting action feels good, and the world is really fun to explore as you unlock new abilities. The card system could use some changes but outside of that I really enjoyed my time with this one.
The new game from Super Mega Team mixes genres with good hand and good taste in an expansive and ambitious adventure, in which you can feel the care in every corner.

This Knight Witch is a great Metroidvania game that ticks the right boxes with its impressive gameplay, visuals, well-written characters, and exciting mechanics. It is made alive by the added deck building and rogue-like gameplay that keep things fresh throughout the campaign. It can be a bit challenging initially, but that’s part of the appeal and what makes it stand out.
Overall, The Knight Witch is a charming and well-balanced experience that occasionally dips into unfair territory, but ultimately leaves players invested in the home they are fighting for.
The Knight Witch always keeps things fresh, and provides an engaging and flexible combat system within levels that never really becomes stale.
The Knight Witch is a story-driven, flying Metroidvania shoot ’em up deck builder RPG. You may think that is a weird combination that couldn’t possibly go together, like putting peanut butter on a hamburger. However, in both cases you would be wrong as these many different components come together to form a very pleasant experience that is more than the sum of its parts.
