Nippon Ichi’s newly unveiled “dark fantasy action RPG” Majo to Hyakkihei (“The Witch & The Hundred Knights”) is attracting attention – through mainly due its sexy dark heroine, Bog Witch Metalica.
The plot concerns Bog Witch Metalica’s efforts to vanquish the wicked Forest Witch and swamp the world in bogs, marshes, fens and other paludal biomes, using an immortal magical summons – the “Hundred Knights,” whose role the player takes.
The most notable aspect of the game itself seems to be that veers away from traditional JRPG railroading of the player somewhat – a relatively open world with plenty of sidequests is promised, and as an amoral familiar the player can choose whether to go about things in a benign or malign manner, and be treated accordingly (or, put more bluntly, it may be “Bioware meets Disgaea”).
As for the actual game graphics – once again Nippon Ichi looks set on bringing stunning PSP level graphics to the PS3:
There is some scepticism about all this online:
“The main character is tiny?”
“Isn’t Metalica the main character?”
“Looks boring, Wii-level at best.”
“Looks like Magicka for the Japanese.”
“When they say it has freedom, there’s probably not much. They’ll never keep it balanced otherwise.”
“Protagonist, you are too small.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Well, Nippon Ichi are trying at nay rate. But frankly, this looks like some overseas DL game.”
“It feels really sweet, but then they make the protagonist into a totally bland and boring character – Nippon Ichi always does this.”
Japanese release is set for the spring of 2012.

The main is a sexy witch but the players character is a tiny, bland looking knight? God dammit.
At least give him tentacles damn it!!
Judging by some of those screenshots of actual gameplay, it might be a 3D Patapon hybrid of sorts.
idk my first impression was of a brave fencer musashi simply due to the odd character design and overhead. If so, then I'm def getting this :)
well, he does carry a huge sword, so give the guy some credit.
At least give him testicles damn it!!
whoa, agree with the title and already love it >: D
Leave it to NIS to churn another time-wasting, awesome game~
I can't wait to buy the premium special edition version from their NISA counterpart (as with all their games) when it hits the west shores...
But I can't wait to f*ck up some beloved NIS characters when they make a cameo boss appearance more!!!
(I'm looking at you the most, Asagi and Zetta...)

"The main is a sexy WITCH but the players character is a tiny, bland looking KNIGHT? God dammit."
At least give him a QB DLC skin damn it..!
(and maybe a Madoka DLC cosplay for Metalica~)
Why is no one talking about Metallica?
Because Megadeth is better!
Exactly what I had thought, good sir.
inb4 they'll give her Ky's Ride the Lightning or Mordekaiser's Creeping Death as abilities.
Too obvious maybe?
Sexy? Maybe... But Sexier then Etna and Prier? Puh-leez...
looks good, i hope they will release it on English
Oh give it a couple more years after its release, let them find some crappy voice actors so they can fuck your eardrums out
i hope not .
X-bot alert!!
I was excited until I realized that the main character isn't the witch.
I hope that there is heavy metal music playing in the background of that game. P
Bog Witch METALICA??? The developers lack for a better name for this game or they are huge Metallica fans.
"The Witch & the Hundred Knights?" Better title: "The Hundred Knights of Metalica." I would've said "Metalica & the Hundred Knights but you don't actually play as Metalica. It also kind of implies this games is a RTS which probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
Takehito Harada is a genius. The character designs look incredible.
If this guy and masakazu katsura got together with someone who could write a good story, marvels would happen.
Bog = Russian for "pagan god" or "Christian God"
its also a swamp like place :D
It's Russian for God. It doesn't specify a particular kind, although it usually refers to the Christian one.
I think nippon ichi really need to re-think its situation. they need to actually start to make dl games on the whole, the games are just to niche to be massive full price sellers. wake up NI before u go bankrupt, it'd be such a shame to see a talented company go under!!! =(
Shit screw Metallica suing, they need to worry about the creators of Yami to Boushi suing over stealing their character design
I don't see what all the fuss is about. I've played every NI game released here in the states and enjoyed every one of them. They have good comedy, a decent story (though disgaea 1 has yet to be beaten in that department), and tons upon tons of hours worth of extras. Knowing NI, even though the main character is small, something may happen later in the story or at the end or something that makes him into a giant powerhouse, or many a joke will be cracked about his height. As far as graphics go, its not like NI really releases graphically intensive games anyway, this seems to follow their style.
The art is gorgeous. I always get drawn into Nippon Ichi's games through their art. That's how I got into Disgaea. The art is AMAZING my style. I love how they exaggerate things like that witch hat it's huge but looks awesome.
liked the look of this for the first 9 screenshots, then i got the the little bland knight thing...where did the sexy witch go D:
none the less its nice to see NIS doing something, but they need to rethink a few things gameplay and graphics wise. (we want to play the witch, not some prinny knight...thing)
~~~
Looks like Tweeny Witches
~~~
Super cool series
~~~
Hopefully if anything Metalica will appear as a DLC character for Disgaea 4.
That would be amazing! Every other NIS character is in Disgaea haha
Graphics look like PSP level and it goes on a PS3? Real gamers don't give a shit, they want quality gameplay not a goddamn movie. I for one approve of this - if the game is actually a good play.
That is a FUCKING AWESOME HAT!
I want that hat!
was loving it until screenshot 9, i want to control the sexy witch not some little....thing D:
but aside from that i agree, she is awesome....BRING ON THE RULE34! I AM WAITING X3
ONE QUESTION!?
WILL BEAUTY QUEEN ETNA WILL APPEAR IN GAME? (INCLUDING MASS GENOCIDE OF PRINNIES) XD
~~
Looks like TWEENY WITCHES~~~~~ COOL~
~~
generic Cheshire grinning female character...
nippon ichi mess up with this one. you have a sexy character, but you can't use. which makes the chance of anyone buy, will be low. if i were them, i'll make Metalica the main character and that tiny thing a special ability of her's. i'm just writing that if they want to make this game hit the top 5. it should have been made this way.
This is like oden sphere???
Am' I right???
I am absolutely fine with Gameplay > Graphics. Honestly, who has ever bought a N1 game for the graphics? You don't. You get them for the gameplay.
THIS - IS - MAGICA!!!
Woah, she's so cute! I WANT HER!
You goan get taken home.
Did that dude seriously say this is a game that is DL overseas....that fucker needs to look at his ps network....Aren't they the people who love cutesy little characters while we like manly man characters?
Turn her hair to pink she'll look similar to Kokone from BlazBlue
Da ze.
The Biggest Hat in History.
Little girls in big hats. :3 Always a winner.
Or...is that Touhou?
But that's a winner too!
