Witchtastic is a much less chaotic Overcooked-style cooking game, but instead of making different meals, you brew potions to give to an owl to deliver.
Scrolls at the top of the screen display different potions that you need to create. These scrolls each have ingredients on them, but in order to know the ingredients, you will need to go near the scrolls and read them. This makes different icons pop up which represent the various ingredients you need to cook. Potions can be a lot of work to make, but Witchtastic isn’t a game meant to be played with one player. It’s meant to be played with up to four of your friends, all running around the same area trying to cook up ingredients.
Most levels have one potion pot where you need to mix and cook the potion, so you will need to communicate. Creating potions is pretty simple; you can chop, grind, or otherwise manipulate various resources so that they become ready to be cooked. Then, you can place them into the cauldron and add wood to start heating the potion pot. Once it’s heated, you can stir if you’d like, which will help the potion cook quicker, before grabbing a potion bottle, filling it, and then handing it over for delivery.
As you get deeper into the game, you will find the environment changes so it’s not as easy to read the potion ingredients, some resources will need to be gather instead of appearing inside, and some of the buildings are so large that you will need to fly around on your broom to make it in time. If you do finish all of the required potions for a level, any bonus potions made become gems that you can collect.
Witchtastic is a fun game to play with your friends, and there is a single player mode if you really want to go at it alone.
Witchtastic is available now on Steam.
