Wizard with a Gun Reviews

Love this game!!! Super fun, rewarding and challenging playing with friends or by yourself! Farewell galvanic games you will be missed 💖

Very pretty, very fun, great gameplay loop

This game was fun in the first like hour or so but the early game is complete dogshit and way too tedious. The mechanics are super bland, the enemies are cool on paper, but never really have that final push to be really memorable beyond the designs. This game had so much promise and I really wanted to like it but its just far too bland and tedious to properly enjoy sadly.

Love the game, shame that the developer shut down. I feel like they could have added more over the years with small expansions and whatnot. I have only noticed a few bugs, most notably that the projectiles from the different type of thieves don't work, but other than that I have not experienced any issues. Supper fun to play with a friend as well.

Yoo this game is good. The gameplay is simple but fun and i really like the art style

No couch coop- which is far more possible even online with steam remote play or modern remote play tools. Game came out slightly unfinished, with less guns than it should have, and although that is fixed now that was extremely frustrating on launch. good gameplay loop but some of the bullets need more thought put into them

It was ok. Decent with a friend, i wish it was 4 player. Ultimately it didn't really hold my attention though.

Super fun core gameplay loop wrapped in mildly annoying grind. Recommended if you're interested, just make sure the annoyances aren't dealbreakers for you. [u]Pros:[/u] + Shooting stuff feels good, fun variety of guns, bullets, and modifiers. + Good variety of enemies + Overall going out into the world and fighting feels very satisfying [u]Cons:[/u] - Need lots of mats to craft and research, but inventory/storage is frustrating to interact with - Each area gets progressively more annoying to walk around in, including making you walk slower - You get gears in groups of 2-3. You need ~15 to unlock the next boss. Miss a gear and you have to do a run just to finish that gear group. Makes for needless grind + repetition. - Mods you unlock are super expensive to apply to guns so you can't really enjoy trying out different combos unless you want to grind out a ton of mats. - Some guns/bullets felt way more powerful than others, and enemy threat/challenge was all over the board too. I would have liked the game better if it took 8-10 hours to finish instead of 15+. It was very fun using wacky guns and bullets to fight things, but inevitably I'd get to a point where I felt like I'd seen everything in an area and I'd still have at least 2-4 runs left to clear it. Also I have no idea why they made mods so expensive to apply, it would have been super fun to be able to try stuff out but I felt trapped into sticking with what worked since I didn't want to add even more grind to the game. Overall a fun game that could have been better.

A lot of fun especially with friends. The only thing that was a bit annoying was that [spoiler] fire bullets with an oil trail don´t actually ignite the trail they leaves behind. [/spoiler] :(

The game was ok I guess. A lot of cool ideas that were never developed into an actual content. It started with the first chapter being pretty amazing to play with lots of interactions, really polished and smooth gameplay and just a simple fun loop. Sadly, everything from that point will be just shallow copy/paste. Next chapters won't introduce anything new to the game: there won't be any new mechanics nor interactions between elements. All the resources are pretty much the same thing, just the higher tier. Pretty much all you can unlock from this point is dmg upgrade. There are some new types of enemies but honestly, none of them require you to adapt or change your gameplay. You can just keep spamming the same ammo type the entire game and it will work. All of this makes the gameplay feel very repetitive after while. I kinda feel like Wizard with a Gun had some great potential to be a very successful and popular indie but the devs realised that they don't have any more resources to work on it and they just released what they have done so far, rushing all the remaining content just to have something playable for the release. It's still a decent experience with ~20h of gameplay to beat the game. And yeah, it's just better with friends.
