Disclaimer: I was given a key for review purposes.

Wicked Witches is a cutish scare your enemies type game. Running around scaring people can be quite fun. It's not complicated, just gleeful destruction.


So here's the breakdown
Pros:
Enjoyable mild humor. Very chuckle worthy referenses sprinkled throughout.

Lots of growth potential. (see below)

So-sos:
The visuals. Think slightly melted wax Halloween figures. Everything kind of translucent over bright base white forms. Cute but a tad creepy. I like it and think it's pretty, but many won't.

Game play is quite fun.

There is no voice acting. Slates with dialog and thought bubbles only.

Cons:
Clunky controls. Flying is akward. Your aim is shetchy. Between the two a lot of fun depleation carries over as you continue to play.

Little current available content. Seriously... An easy level, 2 hard levels, and a insane levels are all this game comes with. You'll note my gameplay time. Well that's all it took to play all of the three first levels 3 times through each and try the final level twice (it's just not a fun level and I saw no reason to continue to try and beat it).

The 3 mapping fails that you run into durring play. One shouldn't usually be able to run through solid objects or fly and fall under the ground. It an anoying glitch that should have been fixed in the programing stage.

The set up of "I was acused of this. So I'll become this!" plot is just imature nonsense.

The music gets carinval annoying after a couple mins.

Only 3 spells given. Which is surprising since within your house there a two huge spell shelves yet all one ever fills is 3 tiny slots on one.


Basically overall I get the feeling the game was rushed to completion and lots of content either never made it or is waiting somewhere in the wings.

I'd love to see more levels added and more spells available. Or course I'd love to kick the familair (such an anoying cat) to the moon as well, one does have hopes...

Overall I'd give the game a 6.5 out of 10. I give it a higher number. If I knew for certain more game content was forthcomming or if it had a cheeper price. There's a lot potentical fun here. A few tweaks (a solid objects are solid!) patch- that's a hint devs). Or just some added content is all it would take to make this a true winner.
