Witch & Hero is one of a significant number of download titles being published by CIRCLE Entertainment this year, as it moves increasingly away from DSiWare and onto 3DS download software. This one arrives in Europe in next week's update, with the North American release to follow soon, and promises to deliver a retro, old-school flavour to tempt us in.
With 20 stages packed full of enemies, two difficulty settings, as well as Trial and Infinite modes on offer, this title is all about defeating plenty of monsters, leveling up and bringing your accompanying witch back to life for limited periods to help out. With a top down perspective and 8-bit visuals and sound, we expect plenty of button tapping and gathering to be the order of the day.
A new trailer explaining the back-story and providing a taste of what to expect is below. Has this one piqued your interest?

I guess the Na release shouldn't be too far away, but hopefully it will turn out good.
Wow what a throw back. Looks interesting and I hope it turns out good!
looks cool. but too bad the gameplay isnt on the upper screen..
will keep an eye on it though
I remember seeing something on this game before (maybe on this site). Looks pretty cool. Wonder what the price will be.
hmmm.... Circle Entertainment... but we'll see !
Ok lol at that video! Looks cool but not sure about how you move across the world map. Looks a little too simple.
Man am i loving this 2d revival lately. Looks like more and more retro style titles are coming out, which is a good thing.
Long ago there used to be a company called circle that used to put out GREAT games. But then they found out they could release crap and people would still buy them.. your quest if you accept is to journey to the land of L.A. and slap the stupid mother......... until they stop making crap games and bring out better ones ...
Now there is a game i would buy
I'm starting to get sick of all these "retro" games :/
A healthy does of 8-Bit never hurts, but I feel like I'm getting overdosed.
The trailer was funny and all, but I want to see some gameplay footage.
We'll see how it turns out...I'll keep my eye on it though.
Don't expect me to pay more than £4.50 for it though. If you design yourself like a NES game you sell like an NES game. >:[
Looks like there will be some serious humor in the game. I hope it turns out good. There are a couple titles I really like from Circle and then there are some I don't like so much.
Looks fun. If they can keep it up during the whole game and the gameplay's as good we might be in for a pleasant surprise here.
The presentation is great!
The story and style is so simple, retro and charming same time X3
If the gameplay will be at the same level... MASTERPIECE!!!

...okay, "maybe" I'm raising my hopes too much XP
But really can't wait to have more info about it
I do not know about this one.
Seriously, the ground/floor texture graphics look like preset RPG Maker tilesets! LOL!
I am willing to give it a chance, it could even be "okay" as long as it's at a decent price then.
i LOL'ed at that clip! looks like a good game also is there eniy news on "Two Brothers" for WiiU?
A Circle game that isn't Castle Conqueror...
...a wary chicken indeed.
EDIT: Whoops, nm...just noticed they're publishing, not developing! Let me at it.
What did I just watch?
Could be interesting!
Just awesome. Lol the Hero was dreaming that he actually killed Medusa.
@Wesley8ty6: I agree. Insta-buy for me!
I am a pretty big fan of this top down style of game play mixed with an old school 8 bit art style. It is pretty nostalgic so I will definitely keep my eye on this game.
