![]() ![]() ![]() While the craft-heavy gameplay eroded my interest in the Wizard with a Gun demo, there were a few issues and grindy design choices that might even sway supply-gathering enthusiasts. With little story and the goal for crafting being almost solely to be able to craft more, the only reward for playing is the ability to do more of the same. Everything revolves around guns, but gunplay feels tacked on. There’s an emphasis on wizards with very little magic. The ideas presented also don’t mesh well with the presentation. You can craft additional buildings that can lead to increasing the damage of those bullets, though it took multiple bullet upgrades to feel even a slight difference. However, these augments don’t do much more damage than the base bullets, making the reward for taking the time and doing everything necessary to create them feel underwhelming. If you gather enough of the right materials, you can craft different bullets like flaming, freezing, and charming shots. You point and shoot, with aiming being surprisingly finicky, causing many shots to miss even when point-blank. However, these enemies are also easy to avoid, so there’s little threat of dying and losing your materials before you can return to the portal and bring your loot to the base.Ĭombat in Wizard with a Gun feels like an afterthought compared to the complexities of crafting. That said, there’s a five-minute timer ticking down as you are in the spaces where you gather materials, and lots of enemies spawn when it hits zero. Enemies can be very spaced out, so they’re not a constant threat when gathering and can easily be avoided since they don’t chase you very far. Firstly, almost everything that contains crafting materials (trees, stones, enemies, etc.) is an HP sponge, so getting materials takes far longer than I care to spend. I had a few major problems with gathering and crafting being the main mechanics. You also need crafting materials to construct buildings so you can craft more items, such as creating a furnace so you can put metal and wood in it to craft iron ingots. Other crafting materials need to be created, such as burning trees with fire bullets to get ash. You use wood to craft basic things like guns and crates. Most objects are destructible, so almost every tree, wall, and piece of broken machinery can be shot and turned into crafting material like wood, stone, and metal. The main gameplay in the Wizard with a Gun demo is gathering materials and crafting. However, a more fitting name would be Wizard with a Passion for Resource Management, because, after nearly three hours of playing, I gathered a lot more wood and iron ingots than I actioned or adventured. Unleash cosmic power from the safety of your tower to reset the world and emerge once again to find a new layout to once familiar lands.With its top three genres on Steam listed as “action, adventure, and action-adventure,” I was ready for a spell slingin’, gun blastin’, yee-hawin’ good time playing Wizard with a Gun from Galvanic Games and Devolver Digital. Each loosely floating through space and time after the world was fractured. Creative arrangements can lead to powerful creations that overwhelm your foes while untethered amalgamations can be a recipe for disaster!Īs you explore you discover different biomes: deserts, swamps, tundra, and prairies. Experiment with new spell combinations and find out how they affect enemies and the world around you the hard way. Magic plays a part in the game as well and must be used carefully to avoid it escalating beyond your control. Combine elements for intended or surprising effects that alter the shot, blast radius, bullet trail, and even the status of the creature in your crosshairs. As you progress the variety of firearms and ammunition grows to enable you deep customisation of your character. Play involves moving around the environment, collecting and using carefully designed weapons and bullets to kill enemies. Either alone or with other players online you embark on a journey to collect, craft and outfit your wizard to explore the unknown.
