'''''Trouble Witches''''' is a series of [[Doujin]] [[Bullet Hell
'''''Trouble Witches Episode 1 ~Daughters of Amalgam~''''' (2007) is the first game of the series and was released for Windows PC as doujin game. The story is set in the [[Magical Land|magical country]] of Eihemland where a great witch named Amalgam has stolen [[MacGuffin|a ring]] [[Sealed Evil in
The original PC game featured three [[Magical Girl|magical girls]], [[Inept Mage|Pril]] [[Cute Witch|Patowle]], [[Idol Singer|Aqua]] [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Seep]] [[Minor Insult Meltdown|Seal]], and [[Spoiled Sweet|Yuki]] [[Fiery Redhead|Longate]], with [[Cute and Psycho|Sies Fabric Tinydream]] as an unlockable forth character (Sies becomes immediately playable after the "Ver.2" update), each with their own shot type, strengths, and their own take on the storyline in a fully-voiced Story Mode. One of the unique aspects of the game is the risk-and-reward mechanics of the game, of which the Magic Barrier system where each witch can summon a barrier to slow down enemy fire and convert them into gold by destroying the enemy that originally fired the shots. However could work against the player if the enemies flees from the screen with their shots trapped in the barrier, which the bullets will zero-in on the player. The gold not only go towards earning points, but it can be used at the Pumpkin Sister's shop (which usually appears twice during each stage) to spend your gold on [[Power-Up|Magic Cards]] and other goods such as [[One Up|1-Ups]] and MP-boosting potions. The Magic Cards would give the user a different shot-type for brief periods of time, but destroying enemies under this effect would earn score-boosting Star Coins, although taking a hit will knock the card out of you (though saves you from losing a life), and taking a hit without any protection will result in losing a fraction of Star Coins as well.

'''''Trouble Witches NEO!''''' (2011) is the game's first-time venture into the mainstream platform. Published by SNK Playmore and released world-wide for [[Xbox 360]] via [[Xbox Live Arcade]] on April 27, 2011. It is essentially an [[Video Game Remake|enhanced port]] of ''Trouble Witches AC'' while featuring the return of the PC game's Story Mode, a new Challenge Mode featuring a [[Boss Rush]] and [[Scoring Points|Score Attack]] mode, two new characters and their familiars (one of which is [[Downloadable Content]]), co-op (both locally and online), enhanced visuals for widescreen presentation, [[Art Evolution|new character artwork]], [[Meta Multiplayer|online leaderboards]], sharable replays, [[Cosmetic Award|Achievements]], and ''Trouble Witches AC'' as an added bonus. The two new witches introduced are Sakurako Kujo, an astrologist anime otaku who wants to become a witch like in her favorite [[Magical Girl]] animes; and Luca, a downloadable devil princess with [[Lightning Bruiser]]-like qualities, MP almost double compared to every other witch in the game, and whose also madly in-love with the Draupnir.
Along with the return of the Story Mode, it also featured an option for English voice-overs as the developers puts it, "offers a full voice dubbing in English and in Japanese to enjoy twice the game!", although it has [[Gone Horribly Wrong]] as it features terrible English voice-acting and translations this side of ''[[Castle of Shikigami]]'' and ''[[Chaos Wars]]''. [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but [[So Bad It's Good|some fans actually like the horrendous English voice-overs]]. Adding to the abysmal localization quality, the Story Mode is also abridged compared to it's original PC counterpart, lots of [[Dub Name Change|name]] [[Spell My Name
'''''Trouble Witches Episode 2 ~With Decendents of Ancient Dragon the Souless~''''' (TBA) is an upcoming follow-up to ''Episode 1'' that's currently in the works. From what is shown on circle's website, the game will be set in a different country with (currently) four new magical girls.
