graphics8 positive mentions
replayability2 negative mentions
  • The combat system is satisfying, with a good balance of melee, ranged, and special attacks that encourage strategic play and frequent weapon swapping.
  • Strong visual aesthetic and art style, evoking PS2/Gamecube-era vibes with a grimy, cyberpunk-inspired world that immerses players in a unique atmosphere.
  • The game offers a short but focused and well-paced experience with replayability through difficulty modes and an arena mode.
  • Platforming is often described as stiff, janky, or frustrating, with some sections feeling overly difficult or inconsistent, detracting from overall enjoyment.
  • Some melee attacks and combos lack tracking or precision, making close combat awkward or less effective against tougher enemies.
  • Enemy variety and combat balance issues lead to some enemies feeling overly tanky, encouraging conservative ranged play rather than engaging fully with the combat system.

  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    62% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their strong, gritty cyberpunk and dark, grungy aesthetic, featuring detailed environment design and striking, chunky visuals reminiscent of PS2/GameCube-era style. Players appreciate the unique art style, atmospheric world design, and consistent thematic vibe, which together create an immersive and visually compelling experience.

    • “Soft recommend on a cool game that I wish I liked a lot more :( strongest points are the graphics, environment design, and writing - it's a grimy cyberpunk story with secrets beneath the sewers of Manhattan.”
    • “Had my eye on this one for a while and definitely enjoyed my time with it, really really vibe with the visuals and style, the world design and aesthetics are great, and while a bit short, the story is interesting and the characters are cool.”
    • “The game is set in an underground megastructure, and while it's a lot of concrete brutalism, some of the environments are striking in their scale, and work well with the chunky visuals.”

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a smooth, fast-paced hack-and-slash experience reminiscent of classics like Ratchet & Clank and Dragon Nest, with enjoyable combo mechanics and spectacle fighting. However, platforming segments are often criticized for being either overly easy or frustratingly imprecise, and some combat mechanics, like certain hyper attacks, feel cumbersome. Overall, the gameplay is engaging but somewhat hindered by inconsistent platforming and occasional bugs.

    • “I initially picked it up because the gameplay footage reminded me a bit of Dragon Nest, a game that I spent hundreds of hours in, and I was pleased to find that it not only scratched that itch but also reminded me how many more spectacle fighters I need in my life.”
    • “The gameplay reminds me a lot of classic Ratchet & Clank, with a bit of Metal Gear Rising mixed in.”
    • “If you like "oh wait, I can combo this into this and send everybody flying" gameplay, you'll like this.”
    • “Good game, the world is interesting, the gameplay is okay, but the platforming is bad.”
    • “Jenny the witch features both hack and slash and platforming gameplay, but the hack and slash segments are generic slop where the optimal strategy is to dash around on your broom when your shield gets low, rather than to master any moves, and the platforming is usually either brainlessly easy or janky and frustrating rather than satisfying parkour.”
    • “Put together with the gameplay, Jenny the witch is a dull and boring game if there ever was one.”

  • story

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The story is well-paced and fitting for the game's length, with an intriguing cyberpunk setting and hidden secrets that reward exploration. While it may not deeply engage all players, many appreciate the atmospheric world design, writing style, and surprising narrative elements that enhance the overall experience.

    • “The story was paced very well; I think it was just the right size for the length of the game.”
    • “I love the style, the combat, and the story has my interest piqued!”
    • “Had my eye on this one for a while and definitely enjoyed my time with it; really vibed with the visuals and style, the world design and aesthetics are great, and while a bit short, the story is interesting and the characters are cool.”
    • “The story didn't necessarily engage me, but that is mostly because the most interesting bit was right before the game ended.”
    • “Soft recommend on a cool game that I wish I liked a lot more :( strongest points are the graphics, environment design, and writing - it's a grimy cyberpunk story with secrets beneath the sewers of Manhattan.”
    • “There were a few really interesting surprises with the story, the red text, that one place that's all blurred and pixelated.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally good and fits the atmosphere, but some players feel it is sparse and doesn't stand out enough to match the game's pace. While appreciated for its style and mood, it can feel a bit too ambient or minimal during certain parts.

    • “I love the style, the presentation and HUD, the music, the experience of this out of this world robot mech witch in a big, endless construction site/sewer system that goes on forever.”
    • “I did find myself wishing the music stood out a bit more, it's a bit too atmospheric for a game of this pace I feel but what's there is good.”
    • “Great fighting game, but not a lot of music, kinda barren in some parts, and the platforming is kinda mid - overall 7/10, having fun with it.”
    • “I did find myself wishing the music stood out a bit more; it's a bit too atmospheric for a game of this pace, but what's there is good.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game offers a relatively short main campaign of about 4 hours on higher difficulties but compensates with dense content and promising post-game features planned to enhance replayability, making it a worthwhile purchase.

    • “Quite short as it says on the tin, but jam packed with content and replayability that makes the pricetag more than worth it in my opinion.”
    • “Completing the campaign on one of the harder difficulties took me about 4 hours, and this was before the update that added some post-game replayability features.”
    • “Postgame support to increase replayability is planned but was not implemented at the time of review.”

  • atmosphere

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is effectively conveyed through strong audiovisual elements, including cool character designs and solid sound design. However, some feel the music is too subdued for the game's pace and could be more distinctive to enhance the overall experience.

    • “A lot of what I enjoyed specifically is related to the audiovisual and atmosphere.”
    • “The robot and character designs are really cool, the sound design does what it needs to, and the ambient tracks do a good job of selling the atmosphere.”
    • “I did find myself wishing the music stood out a bit more; it's a bit too atmospheric for a game of this pace, I feel, but what's there is good.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the humor engaging, particularly enjoying the amusing charge-up move "D," which adds a playful and entertaining element to the game.

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game requires optimization improvements, as users have noted performance issues that impact the overall experience.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding in the game is considered tedious, with overly difficult challenges that feel unnecessarily frustrating, especially when using a controller. Annoying enemy mechanics and a disappointing final boss further contribute to the negative experience.

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Character development is visually appealing with impressive robot and character designs, though it primarily focuses on atmosphere rather than deep narrative growth.
