Late Review“"A gem still to be polished" Witchfire offers a first-person shooter experience that blends roguelike and soulslike elements with fast, fluid combat and stunning visuals and audio. Although the story and some elements of the ending are still unfinished in Early Access, the foundation of the game is strong and provides hours of fun and challenge, with clear potential for future development and improvement.”

Launch Window“Witchfire is a challenging but fun Rouglike shooter with a bit of a soulslike atmosphere that, while unforgiving, is highly rewarding once you buckle down into your role as a Preyer. While it’s a great game for those who are used to soulslike, it can become increasingly frustrating to those who don’t have the patience to deal with an unforgiving battlefield and an unfortunate downward spiral when you level up too fast.”

Launch Window“Witchfire is an outstanding mix of roguelike betweeen HADES and Darksouls that lacks more content and have some technical issues that need to be addressed, other than that it's an experience that is fun to play for years to come.”

Launch Window“Witchfire is a game rife with potential that will hopefully be realized throughout its stint in early access. It has an addictive gameplay loop that makes you attempt at least "one more run" thanks to its fast-paced melding of first-person gunplay and magic. The only real downside right now is the relative lack of content.”
