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 willpower primarily. He is able to try and try again, but the witch cannot, thus the hero must protect her.

While I can recognize I have some nostalgia for this game, I do think it is genuinely charming. The gameplay and graphics are hyper-simple, but I think that has its own charm. There are some mandatory grinding sessions you will need to make, but the levels are so short that replaying or reattempting a small handful of levels didn't feel like a waste of time. The fact that you will end up underpowered at multiple points does also have the upside that you are guaranteed to be feeling the pressure from being surrounded by a swarm of enemies during your time in this game, which made for very exciting clutch moments when I was just barely able to get through a level with a sliver of health left on the witch. Cute, fun, and simple game overall, maybe check it out if you're in the mood for something simple.
