The Knight Witch deserves more attention than it’s getting. It’s a Metroidvania shmup in which you fly about, blast enemies with guns, and cast spells from a deck of cards. For all the bang and zip of the combat, it’s also deeply cosy, with lush 2D art and sweet character relationships in an underground post-apocalyptic world that’s still somehow filled with plants, rustic cabins and cute market stalls. There’s a free demo to play now.

Here’s the launch trailer:

If it’s not obvious, I’ve played a couple hours of The Knight Witch and I’m enjoying my time with it. It came out a couple of weeks ago, so there’s not a lot of “news” in this news story. It is worth giving a try though, and there’s ademo available from the Steam page.
