Witchfire

Witchfire is a single-player RPG shooter developed by the team behind Painkiller and Bulletstorm. Players take on the role of a preyer, an undead assassin sustained by witchfire, sent on expeditions to defeat the Witch of the Black Sea and her army. Between expeditions, players return to a base of operations called the Hermitory to select weapons, spells and artifacts to build their character.

During expeditions, players explore biomes, fight enemies and can choose to extract looted resources or confront a Familiar, one of the witch’s powerful guardians, to unlock new areas and rewards. Death sends the player back to the Hermitory, with one opportunity to return to the battlefield and recover lost items. Progress is reinforced through a roguelite system called Arcana, which strengthens the character and their arsenal after each completed encounter.

The game includes a narrative strand involving investigating shipwrecks along the witch’s territory and uncovering an artifact tied to a conflict between the Church and the witches. Witchfire is currently in Early Access, with planned additions including new areas, enemies, weapons and tools during this period.
