Information drip on The Astronaut's fantasy horror shooter has been a slow burn. First introduced to us through a spooky trailer 2 years ago, people were almost instantly invested in Witchfire due to the pedigree of the developers consisting of industry veterans with titles like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Painkiller in their resume. Following a controversy regarding "looter shooter" elements that spawned around 4 blog posts from the developer as a response, we have had a really slow slew of updates. The devs have opened up about why it's been such a quiet couple of years.
Witchfire is rough around the edges, but updates should continue to improve this game. While the game is dark and gloomy, the future looks bright. If you like Destiny, DOOM, and Souls-like games, you should give this game an honest shot.
NoobFeed Editor Jay Claassen writes - While Witchfire can be extremely unforgiving, that’s also what’s at the heart of being a Roguelike; you’ll have to keep trying and sharpening your skills to make it to the end. This might not appeal to everybody, especially those who get frustrated easily, but anybody who likes a challenge will have a field day with Witchfire and the unholy chaos it brings.
Shouldn't have been a roguelite, pretty sure it wasn't when it was first announced. They probabaly turned it into one since they only have two levels after such a long development cycle.
Wccftech tested Witchfire, the roguelite FPS in early access. The performance doesn't really improve with DLSS 3, and stuttering is still there.
