Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Knight Bewitched is a traditional turn-based JRPG which is part of The Knights of the Ambrose Saga and is similar to the likes of the 8 and 16-bit Dragon Quest and Phantasy Star games but adds some unique mechanics to the age-old formula.
94 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Overall, I recommend it because it is decent and does what it sets out to quite competently: the gameplay is simplistic and nostalgic, no grinding is required, it has a good length of 12-20 hours, the graphics are delightful while the artwork is high-quality (albeit over-sexualized), the soundtrack is satisfactory (although a few tracks really stand out), and the story is cliché — you certainly won't find any "game of the year" material here.
