The gameplay is similar to the one encountered in Shank. As a result, the title is classified mainly as an arcade game that involves platforming, as well as combat. The heroine can use different magical powers, as well as two ghosts – William Wilson, and Pluto. Those two are not just simple specters, but deadly companions, able to change into various weapons.

Technical Aspects

Black Witchcraft is especially characteristic for its visuals. The game takes place in gothic environments, while the characters themselves are divided into numerous smaller animated parts, creating believable and eye-catching movement animations. Moreover, the game works in 60 frames per second.
