“Ive recently gotten back into this game after some updates and i cant seem to stop playing it, the loop is fun and the guns feel perfect to me, cant wait to see what comes next to this game”
“Addicting and immersive blend of Dark Souls, Doom, and Returnal. Runs great on Steamdeck with some minor slow downs in certain areas that usually clear up quick. Great game for quick or long sessions. A practically…”

“+Challenging +Great shooting mechanics +Awesome graphics +Well designed maps +Very repetitive with random events +Decent weapon progression -Weak on Roguelite elements =Highly recommended”
“A slog in the beginning, but once you get a full equipment set built out the flow of the game is next level.”
“difficult but rewarding. good progression and pacing. lots of fun if you enjoy a challenge and like building out different playstyles/classes. a good mix of destiny and dark souls.”

“Witchfire is a very good roguelite/fps game ! At the frontier of Doom/bioshock and Souls game with a roguelite Arena/loop mechanics. Lore elements are still thin but coherent and enough to enjoy. Anyway apparently they…”

“I'm a Dad, not a lot of time. I really wanted 1 player extraction. This is it. Find the gameplay loop very enjoyable. Highly reccomend. Very polished.”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“The game is fine. There isn't anything outwardly wrong with it. I enjoyed it, but as I played more and more I felt like I had seen all it had to offer quite early. Enemy variety is, in my opinion, poor, sectioned off in the areas with little to no overlap besides the Generic…”
— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“Would love to give it an in-between rating. The game feels solid to play but there are dozens of mechanics that the game fails to explain.
