Our take on Witchcrafty
The game makes elemental magic part of exploration rather than limiting it to enemy attacks. Ice changes how deep water is handled, while lightning can split rocks, so gaining spells also changes which routes and opportunities are available.
What is Witchcrafty?
Witchcrafty is a metroidvania platformer in which a young witch travels across an unusual Kingdom full of secrets, valuables, magic, and blocked routes that later become accessible.
Fire, lightning, and ice support both fighting and exploration: flames burn foes, electrical attacks break certain rocks, and frozen water becomes safer to cross. Combat uses the witch’s wand for close-range strikes alongside attack chains, evasive moves, quick dashes, and spells. With a dubious enchanted cat beside her, she examines peculiar incidents and searches for the truth about her missing post.
Her route includes enchanted woodland, underground passages, frozen peaks, and deserted strongholds, while threats range from carnivorous vegetation and goblin attacks to rival groups and enormous mushrooms. Learning additional elemental powers reveals more routes and possibilities across the Kingdom.
