Technical aspects

Witch and Hero is an action game with old-school visuals inspited by the eight-bit era. The game was developed by an independent studio called FK Digital.

Plot

Witch and Hero takes players on a journey into a fantasy world ravaged by the evil Medusa and her army of monsters. The main protagonists, i.e. the titular hero and the witch that accompanies him, decide to stop Medusa's destructive drive and set off on a journey to her stronghold. Upon their arrival, however, the protagonists lose; as if that wasn't enough, the witch is turned into a stone. Nonetheless, even this cannot stop our heros from carrying out the task that lies on their shoulders.

Mechanics

In Witch and Hero the action is shown from the top-down perspective. Players are tasked with completing twenty levels; each of them involves eliminating hordes of enemies and obtaining their blood. The latter allows for a short moment to revive the witch, which immediately provides the hero with her support - she attacks enemies with the help of destructive magic.

Game modes

Although Witch and Hero was developed for solo mode, the Nintendo Switch version allows players to enjoy the company of a second player in a local cooperative mode.
