“The first Witcher game is an old fantasy RPG, which was outstanding for its time. The graphics are not up to date anymore, but the story and characters are worth checking this game out! Have fun!”

About This Game

The Witcher is a role-playing game set in a dark fantasy world where moral ambiguity reigns. Shattering the line between good and evil, the game emphasizes story and character development, while incorporating a tactically-deep, real-time combat system.
