Play as the snarky Witch Thief, on her quest to steal all the magic she possibly can! Naturally those who have the magic don't want to give it up so she does what she does best. That is, kicking in the front door and taking it all anyway!
Dodge duck and weave through terrifyingly intricate patterns of magical projectiles as you seek the greatest treasure of all. The Ancient and powerful Grimoire!
Features:
Unique Bullet-Hell Perspective
Unlike other Shmups, Witch Thief gives you control of a full 3D camera. Rather than the classic birds eye view, you will witness bullet hell from a whole new perspective!
Dodge intricate bullet patterns
Terrifyingly intricate storms of bullets will rain down as you journey on your quest. Study, learn and apply your dodging skills to outmaneuver the incoming perils. Touching even one bullet will kill you - so beware!
Unlock a range of quirky playable characters
Choose to play one of many Witches. Experience fresh new dialogue, different bosses and unique spells to achieve their goals. Each character has unique spells and dialogue, and may encounter different and challenging bosses on their path to the Grimoire.
Musical tracks
A fully original soundtrack, accompanying you on your perilous journey to the Grimoire. Each character and stage has a unique theme that captures and plays upon their essence.
Battle Relentless Bosses
Your path is not an easy one. Face insane bosses, wielding great magical power and unleashing torrents of complex bullet patterns. They will stop at nothing to protect the Grimoire.
Unravel a world of mystery
As you explore and overcome every stage of the game learning more about the world first from the perspective of the Witch Thief, but later as many other unlockable characters you will experience new perspectives of the story.

Rebindable keys: Nothing is worse than a control scheme that doesn’t work for you! Witch Thief’s controls can be rebound across keyboard, mouse and controller.
Dyslexic font option: We love our stylized fonts, but we want you to know what’s going on. A dyslexic font option is available for all in-game text.

I like the idea of the game.
It's even fun to play.
But it's too frustrating.
The camera sucks. The game is Smite style psuedo 3D and the final boss of the first stage has stuff coming from behind you (which are really awkward to dodge since you can't see them). I think the game would be better with a standard top down camera.
A clearer hurt box for the character would be helpful.
There are a range of weapons, and picking up multiple powers them up. It's all random though and when I have a completely powered up weapon it feels great. Dying and losing it doesn't.
There are too many awkward and annoying things for me to continue to trying to play.
Neat concept, and for the right type of person, this is probably a lot of fun.

It's a little rough around several edges. The animations and art design are distinct though leave some to be desired. Music is okay and sound effects are muted.
Still recommending Witch Thief because it mixes third-person action with bullet spam genres very well. Gameplay is all there. No reason you cna't overlook the rough edges to get into the solid gameplay.
I'd definitely wait for a sale. I bought it immediately because I've followed this game for months and want to support it.
Overall, I give Witch Thief a 7/10. A good time-killer and a cool concept.

I am constantly fighting the camera in this game, a fixed camera is ideal for a game where I need to focus on the patterns and not if I can SEE them at all. You're better off playing the disappearance of gensokyo or scarlet curiosity than this.

A few of the boss mechanics feel a bit awkward, but overall a pretty nice 3d bullet hell
