Witchcrafty Review

August 21, 2023

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Total gameplay time: 2 hours [Did Not Finish]
Review Score: 4/10

I really wanted Witchcrafty to be good. The premise and graphics from the trailer looked really cute. However, the gameplay is just not that great. The physics are kind of clunky, and movement is not super fluid. There are also a number of bugs such as the witch character getting stuck which hinder the experience. In addition, there is also a game-breaking bug where you lose the Shards you can collect to increase your health/magic capacity after you die, and you cannot re-collect them. This makes the game much more difficult than it should be, and you can oftentimes die through no fault of your own. The plot is somewhat interesting, but the dialogue does nothing for me. The music is also just kinda there. The graphics are easily the best part, with very beautiful pixel art.
