The Knight Witch fuses metroidvania and shmup with a spell system driven by a card deck. The idea is clever and the airborne fights sparkle, even if the narration sometimes wanders. Colourful and inventive, it strays nicely off the beaten path.

The Knight Witch (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
A bold fusion of shmup, deckbuilding and Metroidvania, The Knight Witch sets its spellcasting knight against colossal mechanical bosses. The spells drawn from your deck shape your approach, dodging clouds of bullets on one hand, landing calculated strikes on the other. Each face-off blends bullet hell with tactical choice for fights of mounting tension.
