The Legend of Dark Witch 3

The Legend of Dark Witch 3 also known as The Legend of Dark Witch 3 – Wisdom and Lunacy is an Action Platforming game that was developed and published by Flyhigh Works for the Nintendo 3DS and was released on December 21, 2017. On the Old Islands (where the first game, The Legend of Dark Witch, takes place), humans and Fae are locked in combat. The Magic Lion Corps, an elite group of magic-wielding humans, poses a significant threat to the Fae.

That is, until a sudden betrayal forces Magic Lion Corps member Day to be exiled from the Old Islands and ultimately results in the group being disbanded. Day, bent on revenge, returns to the Old Islands. Her intentions are noted by Zizou Olympia, who descends upon Folkstone to stop her. Zizou’s encounter with Day initially seems routine, but takes a sudden turn when Day activates “Capacity Zero” to drain Zizou of her powers. It is then that Zizou’s sister Mati Olympia enters the fray and uses her powers to nullify Capacity Zero, resulting in Day’s retreat.

The Legend of Dark Witch 3 focuses on refining the Dark Witch series’ gameplay mechanics, removing many features present in The Legend of Dark Witch and The Legend of Dark Witch 2 while modifying others to create a more streamlined game. The player (Zizou) advances through a variety of stages while using their Shot and Lord Attack to defeat enemies. Defeating the bosses at the end of stages clears the stage. Beating all stages clears the game.

When you start the game you’ll play through the Opening Stage. Upon clearing that, you’ll move on to the Stage Select Screen where you have 8 stages to choose from. The Syega Fragments and Tres collected during stages can be used to Power Up the player character. After defeating a certain number of enemies in a stage, or reaching certain places you’ll receive Syega Fragments which can be used to activate slots temporarily.
