The occasional grunts of hunters, screams of terror by dying witches, an unexpected cackling chicken running its course around the map and the ambient sounds of each map, make up for most of your audiovisual experience during your playing sessions.
Although every map has its own tunes and environmental melodies, it still feels incomplete and could use more bravura. The maps definitely look like they’ve been built with lots of care and hard work.Īs for the game’s music, it still early to write a final verdict as it’s quite limited so far. Especially the maps deserve lots of praise as they look amazingly idyllic and don’t feel like empty sandboxes as they’re filled to the brim with objects and details which can be used to your advantage depending on which side you’re playing. Hunters look like a bunch of knuckleheads who miss a few brain cells while the witches look like clones of the Wicked Witch of the West. Witch It has some impressive artwork that is both bizarre and hilarious at the same time as it mixes a sort of cel shading cartoon-like visual style with old school graphics. Both the characters and the maps are incredibly fun to look at. Even visually it looks charming and inviting the play. But as it’s solely a multiplayer game, a story mode or singleplayer element wouldn’t be a that necessary in the end.Īs the developers have put a lot of time and effort in this game, they created a charming and appealing setting. The setting and the theme are an ideal chance and excellent starting point to create a humoristic and entertaining story element. So far the game hasn’t been equipped with a narrated or well-written storyline or mode, but as it’s still in the midst of development, it’s curious to see what Barrel Roll Games might come up with in the near future. Witch It could be best called a multiplayer hide and seek game where you either play as a witch or a hunter. As the game is still in development, we couldn’t resist grabbing our pitch forks and torches as we participate in an early witch-hunt. Barrel Roll Games, a 4-headed development crew from Germany, has released Witch It in Early-Access on Steam and are planning for a release on Xbox One as well. The idea isn’t new as a similar concept has been introduced in Prop Hunt, one of the many genres that spawned from the legendary Garry’s Mod. Imagine if one of those outdoor activities was implemented into a video game? Witch It is one of those games that took the foundations of outdoor games like tag and hide & seek into a virtual playground. A wide array of games like tag, tug of war, all aboard and hide & seek filled our summer holidays. During our childhood years when we played outside, we had all kinds of outdoor games at our disposal, to play with our friends.
