#THIEF SIMULATOR PS4 REVIEW SERIES#

Of course, voice acting would have helped convey this but you donвЂ™t read a novel and wonder how someone was feeling when something was said, instead itвЂ™s implied through verbs and adjectives. You know the writing of the dialogue is bad when for some reason there are emoticons in them to try and convey the emotions that you just donвЂ™t get from the writing itself. Each witch has its own personality which adds a bit of replayability and a slight variation on the dialogue that takes place but honestly, by the end of my first playthrough I was completely done with the game. Thankfully as you defeat bosses through the game, you can then unlock them to play as in a different playthrough. She attempts to be funny and confident but just comes across as a smug and moody girl. There are some truly awful conversations that make you actually dislike Charlotte more than the bosses that you will face. The game tries to hold a comedic tone but just like you will do many times, the punch lines die on their ass. Since youвЂ™re relying on dialogue for the story to progress instead of cut scenes or gameplay cues, the dialogue would need to be interesting and impactful. While IвЂ™m glad there is a narrative to give the gameplay some meaning, itвЂ™s pretty bad. The story only really progresses through character dialogue which appears at the beginning of each stage or when in a boss fight. As the Witch Thief, a severely sarcastic kleptomaniac known as Charlotte, you are trying to steal an ancient and all-powerful grimoire, the cause of many dangerous events in the world of Witch Thief.

There is a short introduction told with a series of images and a few lines that give your character and your goal some context. LetвЂ™s take a look at this crazy and difficult shooter in more detailвЂ¦ It largely runs smoothly on the Switch and suits the play on the go options that the platform provides. The game is available on Steam and the Nintendo Switch, this review was done for the latter. Rather than relying on old shmup styles, this new game, by developer and publisher Cardboard Games, has an underlying narrative and is played in third-person within a 3D environment.

Witch Thief is a bullet hell shooter with a whole new perspective.
