, the new shooter from The Astronauts—founded in 2012 by the co-founders of People Can Fly—is really good too, but also very different: Studio co-founder and creative director Adrian Chmielarz said in 2023 that Witchfire is"since September 2023, and today it got its first major update, which adds a pile of new content and aims to address a couple of the biggest complaints about the game, difficulty scaling and"Calamities.
"The threat of a Calamity is immense, but so is the reward," Chmielarz said."The witch tends to launch these assaults when players are wounded, at their weakest—which hasn’t always been well-received by players—but this design still feels exciting to me. So we’ve kept the soul of it, but redesigned it to feel more fair.
Witchfire's difficulty scaling has been nerfed"slightly" through the addition of a new feature called Gnosis, which will allow players to"over-level" to a small extent without triggering an increase in enemy difficulty. This is also a very welcome change: The original system tied difficulty to player level, which made it far too easy to level up too quickly and run face-first into a wall of pain.
The new content additions are also a big deal. Six new Souls-style character classes are being added along with five new weapons, three new Calamity types , four new spells, 10 new enemies, a new shop vendor, new events, raids on witch vaults, new magical items and traps, and of course all sorts of bug fixes, gameplay adjustments, and quality of life improvements.
