Wizard with a Gun

Legitimately, the game is a work of passion. The art direction is unique and breath of fresh air, the gameplay loop is dynamic and ever changing just enough to keep you on your toes and never feels stale or bleh. The crafting and progression serve as just another reason to keep engaging and the bosses are difficult enough to actually make you plan out a strategy and think carefully about your gun choices. The Devs clearly know what they want this game to be and it does exactly what it should and doesn't try to steer in any directions otherwise. If you are looking for a unique bullet hell-esque approach to survival RPG's with a procedural level system and well thought out mechanics, then please, PLEASE, support the developers and reqard good game design by purchasing this on steam. I'll see you in the Shatter, sharpshooter.

Яка ж вже таки файна гра. Нагадує мейджику 2 і дст. Однозначно раджу,але якщо не маєте друзів проходьте мимо одному тут буде або нудно, або горіти будете від важкості аутлов чи шеріф

The game is fun, and presents just enough gameplay to be entertaining for a playthrough or two, or a few dozens of hours. But it doesn't come close to other popular games in Devolver Digital's assets – it feels more like a tablet game. And a pretty raw one too, it has the same problems most Unity Engine games do. I'd recommend getting it when it's on sale, but don't get carried away by the trailer, it's a much more linear experience than what'd you expect from other "proper wizard sandboxes".

i got interested in this game when i saw its trailer come out waaaay back, the soundtrack was cool. the game itself though is boring.

I am only recommending this game because I enjoy the time i spent playing it. However, I have a couple of problems with this game: 1. The inventory system: Early on, your inventory is restricted to 18 slots which is manageable as at this stage you aren't exactly swimming in resource and your ammo is relatively cheap to craft. However, later on, I often find myself having to throw away less valuable but still important for progression away for more material for ammo. Furthermore, each items having an inconsistent stack amount really throws off resource gathering and in combination with the lack of an sort inventory button it feels more overwhelming than immersive. I understand the decision behind not having a sort button for your inventory but not having them be the default makes it so that when I need to throw away some items and the time's running out, it creates an artificial level of decision making stress I don't like. 2. The characters and ending sequence: I will be honest and say, I am disappointed with the ending... It wasn't as cinematic as I had hoped and the NPC characters don't offer any personalities that I would particularly care about. If they had more involvement in the world (i.e being a miniboss/bounty you can encounter randomly) it would be more interesting. The requirements for the "Good" ending feels way too hidden and there were no clear indication other than the description of an ammo type that doesn't help you win a fight, I think having the bosses you encounter fight against the chaos in the world could be a good indicator that the good ending HAS to do something to do with them. 3. Content: The game's content is reasonable, I beat my first playthrough in 30 hours, not to say I feel like the game's content is abundant, I think the game could've been more than the usual "Area 1 -> Area 2" power spikes. I often find myself having too much of Area 1 resource and having absolutely 0 incentive to utilize them. Yes, I know that these can be used for base decorations, but to have an entirely area's material be solely used for buildings is not a great incentives. 4. Customization: For a game seemingly centered around base building, the options for character customization is very, VERY lackluster. The amount of dress you can craft in the game feels too little and the enchantments were too little, another issue being that some enchantments are way too underpower/niche to use anywhere, I don't see a reason for me to apply "Reduce Chaos Damage" when I can just apply +500HP to tank out more damage. Yes, you can argue you can mix and match these out, but that then waste your resource which brings me into another problem. And no I am not buying the DLC just for one more shirt. 5. No presets: The game presents no preset for the player to save their customizations and quickly swap between them in their base. This wouldn't be such a problem for me if it didn't cost valuable resources to swap between them. Should you play this game? Yes, if you can spare the cash. It does get repetitive quick so I'd suggest playing this game on Normal or Hard if you're looking for a challenge. (Don't play the hardest difficulty, it'll save you a couple hours)

Terrible coop netcode. Anything less then a perfect network makes this impossible to play. Games should try lo hide lag, this one opts for a big stutter for both players and an intrusive banner flashing on the screen everytime lag happens. Unplayable.
