Overall then, The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition is a great action-RPG with only a few issues that bring it down a peg or two. Whilst the large number of gameplay features it throws at you with little explanation is initially bewildering, with one or two missing the mark somewhat or being underplayed, they nonetheless allow for a deep and complex gaming experience that is quite unlike any other game in the genre.

The Witch And The Hundred Knight Revival Edition is a good action RPG with solid mechanics and an interesting story. If you like these types of games then you shouldn't hesitate to pick it up!

Adopting high-res, fully 3-D environments and characters, and a dark fantasy world brought to life by Takehito Harada, The Witch and the Hundred Knight delivers a new action RPG experience.

While an improvement over the original release, The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition still has its problems. The weak story and annoying characters are still front and center, though the Tower of Illusion is a nice new diversion from them. If you're a hardcore Nippon Ichi fan give it a shot, but pretty much everyone else can give it a pass.
