Description:
Watch the new Witchfire gameplay for the lowdown on its exultant, arcade violence.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

New gameplay has been released for upcoming dark fantasy first-person shooter Witchfire, and it looks like a bundle of steampunk demons and roguelike shooting.

First revealed back in 2017, Witchfire was treated to its first major drop of in-game during the Summer Game Fest. While theres little in the way of context, story, or plot to glean from the 2-minute video, theres certainly a lot of violence.

The first-person shooter, which will reportedly feature roguelike elements, features plenty of medieval-esque guns from shock-charged revolvers to automatic crossbows and plenty of infernal monsters to use them against. It looks like youll be navigating across a dark gothic fantasy world, slaying legions of demons that are sent your way.

That premise isnt too surprising given the games director worked on People
Can Flys 2004 shoot em up Painkiller. While Witchfire looks different in several respects, it will certainly capture Painkillers frenetic, infernal shooting. Its been a while since any FPS has been able to capture the games sumptuous arcade shooting hopefully Witchfinder will fit the bill.

Its releasing on the Epic Games store and will launch in early access soon, according to the trailer.
