The value story
It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was December 2025. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 32 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre. Foregone ($19.99, scores 53) outscores it, and so does Rusted Moss ($19.99, scores 57). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Of the 479 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2022 to August 2026.

What players say
The Knight Witch blends Metroidvania exploration, fast twin-stick shooting, bullet-hell encounters, and deck-based magic into an adventure that feels considerably different from the typical side-scrolling action game. Developed by Super Mega Team and published by Team17, it places players in the underground world of Dungeonidas, where fantasy magic exists alongside advanced machinery. Rather than relying on one...
Really cool metroidvania/bullet hell combo that looks and feels good. Pretty short game so maybe wait for a sale but overall i really enjoyed this one. 8/10
slow game and not interesting history. poor game design in map but the battle parts are nice. in discount you can try it, otherwise don't do it. edit: all it's design with the teleport in mind, that's why fells awkward the first hours. so maybe they should include this upgrade as reward in the first map when that person die
