The land of Karunbunkurs was a magical realm filled with harmony. The power of the living things in this realm gave birth to "mana", a power few could handle. Those who harnessed mana were known as witchcraft and developed powerful abilities. In this land lies a ring called "Draupnir" which is said to bestow both wisdom and power on it's wearer. One day the ring of Drupnir was stolen by a band of evil witches known as the Daughters of Amalgam. Following their theft, many disasters began to occur in across the land, but the witches powers allowed them to evade capture. The king, knowing his own forces were limited sent out a call across the land asking for help. A group of young witches have heard this call and traveled to do battle with the Daughters of Amalgam. It's a side-scrolling shooter with lots of action. As enemies are defeated they leave behind coins which can be spent at the pumpkin shop to acquire new abilities and spells. These spells when used in battle have a variety of effects and visual qualities. The game features modes for straight arcade action as well as a story mode with dialog. In 2009, Trouble Witches AC an arcade-exclusive update using Taito Type X hardware was released. It features streamlined gameplay, removing the non-arcade oriented gameplay from the original PC game along with some balance and gameplay refinements. It also adds several new characters and integrates them into the plot: Louis Leondyke, Symphony Porlatt, Conon Mildiazzhe Krakow, Lyla Arctauras. |
