WitchCrafty Review (PlayStation Vita)
Our Witchcrafty Review introduces you to this Metroidvania platformer that immerses you in a world of magic. Something strange is happening in the Kingdom – the forests are filled with predatory plants, their peace-loving peoples have taken up arms against each other, and goblins were noticed in the deep mines. The little witch has to start her journey in search of truth and answers. Who is behind all these events? Should you trust strangers along the way? Who stole the Witch’s mail? Or maybe all this is not at all what it seems.

Summary
WitchCrafty looks like a fun game, it’s one of the last games to be released on the PlayStation Vita and it should be in its golden years. WitchCrafty is not, its not good from loose controls, bad jumping mechanics to some of the worst checkpointing I have ever experienced, I would lose large chunks of progress due to either the shoddy controls or the fact I have two hit points! Several times I would try again and again and in the end frustration won and I walked away. I didn’t see the point in trying to punch past it as the game didn’t show any signs of being unique, new, or original. WitchCrafty is not worth anyone’s time but then it’s one of the last few games to get a release so do you buy it for that reason? Maybe but just don’t play it, it doesn’t run well and is tired and kinda plain, especially for this day and age. My issues couldn’t be helped and I did honestly try but how can you compete when it’s all stacked against you. Overall WitchCrafty is all looks and has no core to it.
