Peace, happiness, harmony with nature, and OH YEAH, it was extra awesome because, get this, MY MOM IS A WITCH?!

Peace, happiness, harmony with nature, and OH YEAH, it was extra awesome because, get this, MY MOM IS A WITCH?! Well, I guess TECHnically she is, but she's more like a Harry Potter witch than a creepy Witch Hazel type, 'cause bless her heart, she always uses her powers for good. Anyway, she's the best, but this is also exactly when things went wrong.

    See, all of a sudden the king's guards show up, all stuffy and businesslike, and they say they're taking my mom to the castle, and there's nothing I can do about it. I mean, I was totally just like, "yeah right, narcs" and I snuck my way right in, but now there's all these enemies to defeat and items to use and pets to get, and that's only the tip of the iceberg!

    Apparently, somewhere along the way, somebody else just straight up STOLE a goblin artifact, and now THEY'RE in the castle somewhere too, and the goblins are pissed so they've started attacking. Lucky for me, this is a co-op game as well, so I can get a friend to help me, but MAN! Goblin artifacts? Missing parents? A thief's agenda? I guess that's just what happens when you're a... SON OF A WITCH!

    Son of a Witch looks like a cute little game, but it quickly starts to show its true, challenging form. Great game with deep gameplay mechanics, optional multiplayer, and a lot of replay value.

    Look beyond the name and you will find a pleasant roguelike, with a casual flair and a complex gameplay. Attention, though: sometimes the procedural nature can bring an unbalanced level of difficulty.

    Son of a Witch is a really fun action roguelike game.

    The game uses procedurally generated dungeons and you have multiple weapon types, potions and spells at your disposal to help you defeat the multiple enemy factions and bosses that you have on your way. The game is very simple to play and catch I only did not try play in co-op but if the game scale in difficulty with multiple players it could become very fun.

    The graphics are cartoonish and fun and the soundtrack is OK.

    Overall is a very nice game at a very nice price. If you like roguelike games you going to like this one for sure.
    I leave you guys a small video with my first minutes of gameplay (spoiler free), hope you like it:
