- Join me for my honest review of the Witchfire game, a very dark fantasy style extraction shooter/souls-like game that is labeled as a roguelite. However I will give my thoughts and bring that label into question.

We discuss each of the games main parts from gameplay to replayability. Each I rate based on my thoughts and experiences but above all we discuss why this game may not exactly fit in the mold of a roguelike. This is a more critical in depth review which thoroughly goes over the gameplay and my experiences.

As an FYI, while the map item locations do change every time you enter, the enemy spawn locations change each time you level up/use a specific item, the two map screenshots you showed would have been from your same player level.
That’s fair but even then if you go in and don’t level it’s still not randomly generated each time. Becuase there will be times you can’t level up so I would still argue it isn’t wholly random. But that does make it a bit better so I will keep it in mind. Thank you for letting me know
@@roguelikerabbit you can take a placebo pill from the trader to change up the spawns without leveling also
Gambling with mushrooms 5:15
Let’s go gambling
@roguelikerabbit Naw, I'm not the gambling type. :)
Caves of Qud just recently entered 1.0, I 'd love to see your take on it!!
I’ll have to take a look!
An odd label for a game, will have to say i always enjoy the ones that add long distance, snipers n such, may feel like cheese but i just like the distance fun! Keep up the good work
Oh yeah snipers are always the best!
Visual and atmosphere are fire (wink, wink), but the very slow meta progression and boring unlocks are a bit of a downer.
Yeah it’s a bit of a shame I overall think it’s fun but it’s just very slow
gnosis is basically greek for knowledge. in the beginning of christianity there were multiple cults and of them where the gnostics. They were all about secret knowledge to get salvation. they pretty much got wiped out, because they didnt conform to society.
Ah I see thank you for the information!
If you want a good roguelike, try Remnant: From The Ashes. It's called Dark Souls with guns, but that doesn't fit the game completely. The main game isn't really a roguelike, but it has an amazing survival mode that turns the game into a roguelike. It's decently fun on it's own, and the areas in the game feel way too much like video game levels and not actual areas, but the game has excellent co-op. Sadly, the sequel added a boss rush instead of a roguelike mode.
I’ve had that on my radar I’ve wanted to try to get some friends to play so hopefully I can check it out!
Man I adore remnant from ashes! The survival mode is amazing
Yeah, it really doesn't seem like a roguelite nor a roguelike. That said, it's still in early access. I'll give it time to properly develop before throwing it out into the gutter. The world's too open to be a lore-delving roguelike imo. I've seen your shorts on Robo Quest but I still can't play it atm but maybe come the new year. Seems really cool
BTW, people who have played Genshin would know what gnoses are hahaha. Generally, it means knowledge so it might just mean there's something you gotta learn/find in the world before you can enter the area.
Roboquest is great lol. And yeah we will see how it develops but I did hear that in the demo it was more roguelite so it might be going the opposite direction.
And I found out what gnosis was in the end I talked about it a bit near the end of gameplay.
@roguelikerabbit oh I missed that then my bad.
No worries at all I didn’t go too too deep into it
This game does seem more like a love child between Borderlands and Bloodborne, than a roguelike HAHA
Oh it definitely is so it’s good but man it’s not a roguelite lol
Thanks for the review. Doesn’t sound like a game for me.
Fair enough it is very different from most 'roguelikes'
your character is so cute
Awww thank you! I really appreciate it!
