Witchfire | NEW - Roguelike FPS with forbidden pagan magic and a wide arsenal of weapons!! @ 2K
0Witchfire is an awesome roguelike first-person shooter with a fantasy theme in development. It has an intriguing dark fantasy plot and solid but tough gameplay mechanics, Witchfire provides a brutal but fun gameplay experience that feels just as much like Doom as it does Dark Souls. Although Witchfire is light on its story the pieces it does reveal feel as if Van Helsing and Doom had a weird gothic lovechild. The Vatican has dispatched immortal hunters called ‘Preyers’, to deal with the Witch of the Black Sea and save humanity. There is also the wreckage of a long-lost papal ship which is thought to carry a valuable artefact that could alter the course of the conflict. There’s just one problem; The ship has landed in the Witch’s territory. As a Preyer, you have access to guns, spells, and abilities to take down the horrors in the world by any means necessary. The backdrop for the game sets the gothic atmosphere from the get-go plunging players into the world of Witchfire without much handholding and overcomplicated lore. The basic goal of Witchfire is to load into a session and collect as much gear, Witchfire (the titular in-game currency), and resources as possible before trying to escape back to your home base through a portal. Emphasis on the word “trying” here as in Witchfire everything,(and I mean everything), is trying to kill you. At the start of the game, you are almost completely drained of the substance that gives you supernatural abilities; Witchfire. You earn the currency by slaying enemies, clearing out areas on the map, or finding it in supply chests. In classic Roguelike fashion if you die, all the gear, Witchfire, and treasure you have collected throughout a mission is lost and you are spat back out at the game’s HUB world, The Hermitage. Hope you enjoy my video.
