Witchfire

Witchfire is a first-person shooter set in a dark fantasy world where the player takes on the role of a witch hunter. In addition to shooting, there are devices at your disposal: traps, signs and charms. Every exit onto the map is dangerous: there are many enemies, and little ammunition, so you have to plan your route and not get involved in unnecessary skirmishes. Between forays, the hero grows, discovering new weapons and skills, and this changes the approach to familiar places. Some of the maps change with each visit, so memorizing them is useless. The art is dark and expressive, the shooting feels weighty, and the difficulty remains high. Separately, we can say about the maps: they are divided into sections, and the goals on them change, so it is useless to memorize. In addition to shooting, there are charms and signs that influence the course of the battle, as well as traps that help control the crowd. Between forays, the hero grows: weapons, skills and equipment are unlocked, and this changes the approach to familiar places. Progress is not reset if you fail, but lost resources must be mined again. The design is gloomy, the shooting feels weighty, and the difficulty remains high even with a pumped-up hero. Before a trip, you can take only a limited set of equipment, so the choice is made in advance and with calculation. Some enemies are vulnerable to certain elements, so a set of enchantments is selected in advance. Weapon upgrades are unlocked gradually, and this has a noticeable effect on the difficulty. For anyone who loves hardcore shooters with leveling up, the Witchfire gives a rare combination of speed and calculation.
