The Knight Witch is a side-scrolling Metroidvania / shoot ’em up video game developed by Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team and published by Team17.

About

Combining fast-paced shoot ’em up combat with Metroidvania traversal and exploration alongside a magic deckbuilding system, The Knight Witch takes players to the underground city of Dungeonidas. The once peaceful metropolis has been besieged by a mysterious threat and their unrelenting army of war golems. Here it falls to the protagonist—Rayne—to be named a Knight Witch and use her powers to fight back and save those she loves.

With over 30 unique spell cards to choose from in a magic deck-building system, and Knight abilities to upgrade and improve, players can customize Rayne’s build to fit their playstyle, taking down the invading golems in the most effective way. Like other Knight Witches, Rayne thrives off the love and adoration of Dungeonidas’ citizens, growing ever stronger with their continued support—players can choose to capitalize on this, lying to the adoring denizens for their own means, or they can be honest, sharing the painful truth to the masses.

Key Features

• 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.
