Enemies Work Together
Goblins circle, flank, pressure, and attack as a group instead of waiting for their turn.
MAJOR COMBAT UPDATE COMING
Star Witch is a VR-first dark fantasy action RPG being rebuilt around physical, Souls-like combat. Face coordinated enemies, master every weapon, and fight your way through the frozen domain of the Ice Witch.
Announcement
Major Combat Update
The combat system in Star Witch has been completely redesigned. New goblins will circle around you, coordinate their attacks, and work together to bring you down. Encounters now feature dangerous waves of enemies instead of only a few isolated opponents.
Block and Parry
Block incoming attacks and parry with every weapon when your timing is right.
Bash With Anything
Shield bash or strike with any weapon—even the bow—to interrupt enemies and create an opening.
Physical Penetration
Swords and other pointed weapons can penetrate flesh. A properly aimed stab to an unprotected head is instantly fatal.
Armor Matters
Helmets and armor stop penetrating attacks. Players must aim for exposed areas instead of stabbing directly through protection.
Choose the Right Weapon
Stabbing is useless against bones, while hammers and other bludgeoning weapons deal double damage to skeletons.
Fight Through Waves
Prepare for larger battles against waves of enemies rather than small, disconnected encounters.
What Comes Next
-
First Quest Re-Release

The Ice Witch Story
The following major update will complete the full Ice Witch storyline and its open-world quest arc.
Setting and Threat
On the fantasy moon of Luna, beneath the gas giant Hyperion, survivors face ruins, wilds, and domains claimed by the witches. The Star Witch is the central cosmic threat, with the Ice Witch and Blood Witch shaping the land through fear and forbidden power.
Progression is being developed around exploration, physical combat, gesture magic, and the tension between alchemy and witchcraft—power that always comes with a cost.
Core Pillars
Open-World VR Exploration
Wander Luna’s ruins, wilderness, and dungeons in a VR-first open world being expanded with each major update.
Physical VR Combat
Swing, block, parry, and bash with your own movement as the combat overhaul rebuilds every encounter.
Gesture-Based Magic
Cast through gestures in the air—fire, lightning, shields, and more—as spellcasting continues to be refined.
Alchemy versus Witchcraft
Choose lawful transformation or costly forbidden power as the game’s moral and mechanical tension.
Attribute Progression
Grow through attributes such as STR, DEX, INT, WIS, CON, and CHA as RPG systems are further developed.
The Three Witches
Face the Ice Witch, Blood Witch, and Star Witch across distinct domains planned for the larger campaign.
Purgatory and Return
Death is not the end—encounter forces beyond the mortal realm and fight your way back.
Star Metal and Legendary Gear
Seek rare materials from fallen stars to forge gear with unique properties as legendary craft systems expand.
Built in Unreal Engine 5.8 for PC VR.
Star Witch Legacy
The original Legacy chapter remains part of Star Witch history: a scientist pulled into a realm ruled by witches after a catastrophic magical event. It established the physical combat and dangerous magic foundation that the combat overhaul is rebuilding.
This footage shows an earlier version of Star Witch and does not represent the redesigned combat update currently in development.
