About the Game

Warding Witches offers a classic, unapologetic bullet hell shoot ‘em up challenge while also putting defense into players’ hands. Experience an adrenaline-filled flow alternating between attacking, defending and dodging, amplified by an intuitive scoring system that weaves into gameplay seamlessly.

Attack, Evade, and Defend yourself against the never-ending storm of bullets and enemies. Carefully crafted core bullet hell gameplay, enriched with an interactive defense system. Every feature is designed to be simple and elegant, offering easy entry and charming challenge for both newcomers and genre veterans alike.

Choose between different witches to play as with unique shot types, movement and defensive workings at their disposal.

The deeply integrated scoring system rewards you for using your whole arsenal - develop your rhythm of attacking, defending and evading to earn high scores, which in turn improve your abilities where you see fit, leaning more into your style.

  • Classic Bullet Hell, Modern Flow – Tight, responsive controls and intuitive mechanics make dodging, shielding, and attacking seamless.
