Early Access to
Witchfire is now underway on the
Epic Games Store,
offering first crack at this Windows first-person shooter from The Astronauts,
the developer comprising former members of People Can Fly. An
Early Access FAQ accompanies the launch to answer all our burning questions
about what to expect (thanks Jim A). Here's a
Gameplay Overview Trailer and here's word on the game's witch magic versus
church magic theme:
Witchfire is a first-person shooter from the creative
leads behind Painkiller and Bulletstorm. A roguelite for people who hate
roguelites, the game offers a challenging but satisfying gameplay experience,
and with multiple roads to victory.
Desperate for a chance to triumph in the deadly war against witches, the Church
calls on forbidden pagan magic to turn willing sinners into immortal witch
hunters called preyers.
Armed with powerful spells and fearsome firearms conjured by the best Vatican
sorcerers, your mission is to find the infamous witch of the Black Sea, destroy
the phantom army that protects her, and retrieve a mysterious artifact that can
finally turn the tide of
war.
