I saw this game on the steam front page about the time it had released. I was bored and scrolling through the store as I usually do, and so I decided to take a look at Witchfire. At first, after watching the trailer and a few videos, I didn't think much of it and put it on my wishlist for later. Around a month later, I bought Witchfire to finally try it out and now I can't stop playing. After only 3 hours of gameplay, I would easily put this in my top 3 games that I bought this year, next to Red Dead Redemption 2 and ULTRAKILL. I highly doubt anybody will see this review, much less the developers, but I thought I might give it some praise anyway for how genuinely good it is. I forgot to mention that there isn't even a third party sign in!

Kinda funny how extraction shooters are MUCH more fun and enjoyable when you don't have to worry about some guy with a hack engine noscope sniping you from the complete opposite end of the map.

imagine the gunplay of Destiny but none of the intense shame of being a Destiny player

I've completed maybe 50% of the EA so far, and I'm really enjoying this game. It's like Hunt: Showdown + Dark Souls + Roguelite-style randomness and meta-progression. You have a home base where you level up and upgrade gear. You go on expeditions on different parts of an island, with the goal of either uncovering more of the island and the various events/bosses, or to get loot and extract. If you die, you drop all currency and loot you picked up, with a chance to get it back on your next expedition. It can be difficult, and you will die. Most deaths feel deserved, even if in the moment it feels cheap (you'll encounter some floating acid-spewing enemies that can be very annoying in large numbers). Once you start increasing the difficulty through their system called "Gnosis", enemy encounters can quickly get out of hand, and a "Sanity" system starts to introduce a ticking timebomb to your runs (but the bomb can be turned into a boon if you're well-prepared). The meta progression is solid, and mixed between outright buffing your character's stats, and upgrading your weapons, gear, and rogulite-style mid-run buffs. The titular "Witchfire" is a currency you can use to upgrade your character in some basic stats (vitality, endurance, witchfire, etc.). If you've played a Souls-like, you'll be familiar with the general idea of how lvling and stats works with Witchfire's twist on things. There are a number of weapons and spells so far, as well as basic equipment items that affect you in specific and dramatic ways (like a ring that leaves behind a bomb when you dash, or a fast-firing shotgun with exploding pellets). These items and spells can be upgraded by completing requirements specific to each. It makes for a decent range of builds to try, and lvling up weapons, gear, and spells gets you to try them all out and find synergies. Some weapons and spells seem much more effective than others, but they all do some really cool things. I did not expect to have a spell that summons a giant floating bell that I can shoot to stun enemies. Overall, really enjoying it. Edit/Update: Included mention of the stat system, some grammatical tweaks, and some additional context-setting language.

They managed to take a lot of quality concepts from games like Destiny, Hunt showdown, and from various roguelites, and add it to a fantasy rpg shooter without making it feel at all derivative. It's a cohesive mishmash of so many cool ideas, and it's fun as hell to play.
