Witch & Hero is an 8-bit style action game. You play as a hero accompanied by a witch taking on the evil Medusa, whom has destroyed many villages and towns with the monsters that stand before her. Medusa turned the witch into stone, so she is no longer able to move. So it's up to the hero to defeat the monsters and collect their blood in order to recover the witch for a limited duration. The witch's destructive magic easily destroys monsters, but you will have to rely on the hero's will power primarily. He is able to try and try again, but the witch cannot, thus the hero must protect her.

Witch & Hero is a great arcade styled romp perfect for short play sessions on the go. With a very addictive gameplay loop and a fun "protect the tower" objective, this game is a great hidden gem among a sea of indie darlings.
It's biggest downside is it's sharp difficulty curve which requires a lot of grinding to progress. The final (and only) boss is both infuriatingly annoying to defeat and a clever way in adapting the standard gameplay into a boss encounter with an unorthodox method in beating it.

I think it's a really neat concept with a fun, if a bit repetitive execution. Definitely really clean on the switch version too.
