This game was a creative delight that reminds one of the GBA titles of yesteryear. The elemental aspects of the game in particular are reminiscent of one of the Star Wars games on that system, with regards to the way the force was used. That's what Wildfire reminds me of. Super cool game; it's a great fortune that indie developers are delivering us the imaginative goods with games like this these days.

Fun, little gem of a stealth-like platformer with elemental interactions that could benefit from a level editor Wildfire is a delightful stealth game centered around elemental interactions, reminiscent of titles like Noita and Magicka . In this game, you play as a newly awakened witch who harnesses the power of three elements: fire, water, and earth (grass), with skills that unlock as you progress. The Good The core mechanic of Wildfire is its elemental interaction system, which operates on basic physics. You can burn grass and melt ice as you walk through them with a fire spell (or when your body is ablaze). Objects and enemies can be set afloat with water bubbles, and forest fires can be extended by throwing grass and vines. Discovering these combinations is a joy, and even after 10 hours in, I'm still finding new ways elements interact with each other. Though Wildfire fashions itself as a platformer stealth game, it is fundamentally a platformer puzzle game. Enemies and the environment are obstacles to be solved rather than simply combated, especially considering the only ways to kill them is through fall damage or high temperature. You can choose to run and gun or stealthily navigate through levels. Each level offers objectives that sometimes require abandoning stealth for a more direct approach, especially during speed runs. The game also supports coop, which doubles the fun as you and a friend experiment with elemental magic together. The Less than Good But what about the negative reviews? They seem to stem from players who aim to obsessively complete all objectives in a single run. Many objectives are optional, and fortunately, you can revisit levels to complete specific objectives without redoing everything. Wildfire encourages trial and error, much like other puzzle games, making each run a chance to try something new. That said, I understand the frustration of objectives being tied to skill points, as they are needed to unlock new abilities and there are no other means to progress. Where Wildfire falls short is in its approach to extending game duration. The current system relies on players redoing levels for perfect scores, which can become repetitive. The addition of a level editor would greatly enhance the game, allowing for player-created levels and extending its replay value. This would offer endless opportunities for creativity and new ways to figure out elemental interactions. Verdict With a price less than 10 USD (2 USD during Summer Sale 2024), Wildfire is a fun, little gem that you can enjoy solo or with a friend - a delightful experience worth revisiting once in a while.

This is a sneaky little title, a mini gem. It is a stealth game with an element-bending twist. This game is as fun or challenging as you want to make it-- depending on if you want to just coast through the game by messing with the royal guards and setting them on fire, trapping them in vines, and scaring them off deathly heights or if you want to use your wizardry to sneak past them undetected. It's sophisticated in a way that is not too hard to learn. The controls can be a bit clunky at times, but nothing game breaking. Either way, I'm having a blast.

Fun game, but ultimately feels more like a puzzle game where you are trying to figure out how to use the specific map elements to get past the layout of enemies - rather than an actual stealth game.

While the game feels a bit clunky at first, it really comes together as you get used to the gameplay and unlock new powers. And the powers are very well realised which makes the gameplay quite dynamic and it's very satisfying to execute your plan. The levels are also pretty well realised puzzle grounds to find your own solution to the exit with a bunch of extra side-challenges to accomplish if you feel like it. Overall around 7/10, the perfectly executed gimmick is the most fun part of the game.
