Description

Son of a Witch is an action adventure game for PC in a fantasy setting. 1-4 players can select one of 7 different character classes and play a challenging and fun beat 'em up game with cartoonish graphics. To make it more interesting and replayable, the game features roguelike elements like permadeath, random enemy encounters, random maze generation and many different items and weapons.

History

Son of a Witch was inspired by a great multiplayer brawler Castle Crashers. After completing the game a couple of times with friends and family, it got boring because the game is linear. In the same period I played some great roguelike games like Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac. Son of a Witch brings the roguelike elements into cute and dynamic beat 'em up action, making the game interesting and fresh on each playthrough.
