Back when The Witch and the Hundred Knight was first released on the PlayStation 3 in 2013, the game provided an action RPG experience quite unlike anything that Nippon Ichi Software America had provided gamers before. While the game was riddled with delays and in the end wasn’t the most polished experience, it was nevertheless a pretty enjoyable game with a dark storyline, and maintained the NIS charm.
The Great Swamp Witch Metallia in all her sarcastic and sadistic glory is back, with the game’s enhanced PlayStation 4 port The Witch the the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition now available on store shelves. This version includes updates (including hopefully fixing the noticeable bugs) and the ‘Tower of Illustion’. The Tower of Illusion is a new dungeon which can be accessed by offering a weapon, with greater weapons providing greater opportunities to encounter strong enemies and more enticing loot. While you will enter the tower as the Hundred Knight, building “Concentrated Mana” will allow players to summon Metallia for a limited amount of time – who comes with a range of powerful skills befitting her title as a witch. This is the only time players will be able to play as the lead heroine.
The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition is now available in North America exclusively on the PlayStation 4, and will be followed by a PAL region release starting tomorrow.
About The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition
Fed up with being unable to travel beyond the borders of her swamp, the witch Metallia forges a contract with the legendary Hundred Knight to help her realize her ambition of spreading her swamp throughout all of Medea. As the Hundred Knight, your mission is to do whatever your master, the Swamp Witch, commands. Explore the world, destroy Pillars built to prevent her swamp from spreading, and wreak indiscriminate havoc. However, in the back of your inhuman mind, you begin to wonder… What prevents Metallia from leaving the swamp? Why do the other witches shun her, and how can she survive in a swamp that is notorious for how poisonous its fumes are? Is Metallia really a witch to respect, or is she one to fear?
