Editor Joe Morgan writes,
"Nippon Ichi has been feeding gamers across the world a steady diet of role-playing games for over twenty years. With dozens of established titles under their belts like the Disgaea and Hyperdimension Neptunia franchises, their fanbase has developed certain expectations. How does their newest title, The Witch and the Hundred Knight measure up, though? Will it take the world by storm or should it stay in its secluded swamp stronghold?"
SarahF says "Often after I’ve played a game, I’ll have a scout around online to find out more about the developers and see if there are any interesting facts I can throw in to spice up a review (not that they need it of course). The Witch and the Hundred Knight features a witch (surprise surprise) called Metallia."

Nippon Ichi Software has a solid grasp on SRPG. With The Witch and the Hundred Knight, the Disgaea developers attempt to create a complex SRPG. What works in Disgaea doesn’t necessarily translate well with The Witch and The Hundred Knight ; however, this hack n' slash has its share of addicting moments.
PlayDevil has posted an in depth review of the new action RPG game for PS3, "The Witch and the Hundred Knight" developed by the famous Japanese dev Nippon Ichi!
More:
"You take control of the Hundred Knight, a creature summoned from the nether by the swamp witch Metallia. The reclusive witch has never left her swamp, but now desires to see the world outside. Rather than going on vacation, however, Metallia has commandeered the Hundred Knight’s services to spread her swamp throughout the land. You, as the legendary but tiny warrior, are the only one capable of destroying the hidden pillars that prevent the swamp’s spread"
I love Nippon Ichi but maybe this isn't quite the game for me.
Visually though, it looks great! Very fair review.
Too bad. I really wanted TWatHK to rock my face off. Maybe we'll get another shot down the line.
I'm still buying it.
going to w8 for a price drop for this one
