Witch and Hero

Witch and Hero is an Action RPG game that was developed by FK Digital for the Nintendo 3DS and was released on April 04, 2013. The plot of this game is that the witch and hero go to stop the evil Medusa from ruling the land. They were handily defeated with the witch turned into stone. To revive her, the hero must gather Medusa’s blood (from her summoned creatures) and then defeat Medusa to completely heal the witch. The gameplay is pretty simple in general. The goal is to defeat the enemy while preventing the witch from being destroyed.

The player uses the D-pad/ Circle pad to move the hero and run into enemies similar to old action RPGs like Ys. Hitting from behind deals more damage to enemies and reduces the amount of damage the hero takes. If the hero loses all his health, he will collapse and be unable to move until the bar refills. The only way to speed it up is rapidly moving the circle pad from side to side. Another means of restoring health is grabbing one of the blue bottles with a cross that randomly drops.

If the player fills up the red bar with blood dropped by the enemies and gives it to the witch, she will be temporarily able to fire off her spells, which can be switched from Wind and Fire by pressing X. L and R will rotate the witch and change her aim. Once the red bar winds down, she returns to stone. There are 20 stages in this game, each with progressively tougher enemies with varying movement speeds, health, and damage output. Stages end when the boss enemies are defeated or if the witch is killed, in which you will need to replay the stage.
