Sep 18, 2025Hyke: Northern Light(s) is a vibrant 2D action game with a good variety of playable witches and stages to explore. Though its repetitive story beats and easy boss battles are underwhelming, the general feeling of journeying along with Hyke and the girls is positive and an experience worth giving a try.

Oct 2, 2025HYKE: Northern Light(s) is a mildly charming adventure that occasionally integrates bittersweet storytelling. Its detailed art and decision to show its characters’ downtime are undoubtedly worthwhile. But ultimately, the experience is hampered by shallow combat, somewhat repetitive mission design, and limited customization. I’m always up for an evocative trip through a ruined world, especially with a crew of cute witches. But HYKE’s inventory of minor issues prohibited the game from casting its spell over me.
