    This game is very similar to classic NES Mega man. With a main method of attack and 6 other weapons collected by defeating bosses really brings together the whole Mega man feel. The only problem is the bottomless pits nearing the end of the game but it doesn't ruin the experience. Even on easy the game is still challenging which brings death, but instead of quitting it makes you want toThis game is very similar to classic NES Mega man.

The only problem is the bottomless pits nearing the end of the game but it doesn't ruin the experience. Even on easy the game is still challenging which brings death, but instead of quitting it makes you want to defeat what killed you. The biggest bother however is after you get a certain weapon the bosses become pushovers.… Expand

    This game is GREAT! It's beautiful, challenging, and most importantly, FUN, which are qualities all games should have. It's extremely similar to Megaman, although it features an upgrade system that's pretty simple. 8 stages in total, and all packed with fun. There's also unlockables that you can buy with points you get by playing the game, or by betting them in a game of Poker. InThis game is GREAT!

Almost everything about the Legend of Dark Witch is great!
    The only thing bad about Legend of Dark Witch is the story, which isn't really important, because games like this don't need a story. Without a story, this game would still be just as good.
    Overall, this game is just awesome and only loses points because it could have improved a bit on the story and translations...but in the end it's highly recommended! Plus, it comes at a low price of $3.99, which is pretty low for a title this impressive. I honestly feel as if I've gotten my money's worth and more from playing this gem of a game.    … Expand

    The Legend of Dark Witch is better than any $4 game deserves to be. A rockin soundtrack, beautiful sprite work, fun gameplay, and extensive replay value all make this an entertaining platformer. It should be noted that there are a few spelling errors in the game's text, but since most people won't play this game for the story, it hardly matters anyway.

If you're a mega man fan, this game should be a no-brainer; fans of platformers should also consider giving this one a shot, too. As long as you're fine with a little bit of difficulty in your games, I highly recommend purchasing this hidden gem of a game.… Expand

    A fun action platformer that's a little bit jank at times, but still fun. Level design isn't the best, but it was the first game in the series, so it's to be expected. Characters and music are really great

    The Legend of Dark Witch is a pretty fun time overall. It does have some issues with the difficulty, but overall, it's a pretty fun time. It's also short, but full completion can take over 20 hours, and it's very clear the developer wanted this, as it's inspired by Touhou, a similar series that wants you to replay it. If you can accept the difficulty, it's basically perfect.

    The Legend of Dark Witch is a fun and very challenging shooting game which picks up a healthy amount of ideas from classic titles. Despite occasional camera flaws and a somewhat repetitive level design, this is an experience that is set to appeal to a crowd which takes great pleasure in shooting down enemies.

    Despite its light and colourful exterior, The Legend of Dark Witch manages to be an entertaining platformer that can be difficult enough to hold the attention of even the more serious gamers out there.
