Just because it’s Halloween season, it doesn’t mean you must play the scariest games on the market. On the contrary, a cute arcade platformer involving the most adorable witches could fit the theme just as well. So put on a magic hat and kick off the quest for candies in Sweet Witches on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Having been around on PC (Steam) for a couple of years under the guise of Citrouille: Sweet Witches, the Sweet Witches experience has finally arrived on consoles. Playing as the charming witches Praline and Vanille, you need to master the powerful spells and tricks up their sleeves in order to navigate the single-screen platform levels ahead. Unlike the regular platformer games, no jump mechanic is present, but you do at least have the ability to summon magic ladders – amongst other things.
Whether tackling the Story mode as a solo act or in local co-op with a friend, there are over 50 levels to complete across more than five unique worlds. While the protagonists merely want to cover these lands with flowers and eat candy, there are dangers in their way, including a selection of enemies and their nemesis – Anis and Reglisse. It will be no easy task, that’s for sure. Should you fancy some four-player action instead, the Versus mode allows your extra companions to take on the roles of the antagonists.
Does the old school platforming vibes of Sweet Witches suit your tastes? If so, Sweet Witches is available right now on the Xbox Store – as well as the PS Store – for a discounted price of £6.71. Don’t take too long deciding on a purchase however, as it’ll revert back to the usual cost of £8.39 in 10 days.
Game Description:
