![]() ![]() The music and the visuals together eradicate the idea that you are playing a game made by a small handful of people. Then there is the music, wow, the music here is fantastic. Plus the hand-drawn art style, with a contrast of dark and light tones, complete the atmosphere visually. It is going to fit right at home in your library of Devolver games alongside Cult of the Lamb, Deaths Door, and Enter the Gungeon. With the title alone, Wizard with a Gun gives subtle hints of humor that create a tone where it never takes itself too seriously. If I were a TikTok influencer, the first thing that I would say about this game is that it passes the vibe check. It is published by Devolver Digital and will release on PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC later this year. Wizard with a Gun comes from a small team with just over 10 employees at Galvanic Games in Washington state. Although, the game itself has incredibly deep mechanics centered around crafting upgrades and base-building. ![]() Its combat consists of slow-paced twin-stick shooting. As such, even if a mage disregards all the points above, they might stop using them due to lack of quality ammo.Wizard with a Gun is an online cooperative sandbox survival game. Usually, all that a mage needs is some sort of energy source. Proper ammo that does not explode your firearm, malfunction, or is not improperly mixed can be rare or uncommon. Until firearms are common and fired in large numbers, mid to high tier magic outpaces them in terms of raw damage.Īmmunition. Sure a gunshot wound is nasty, but so is getting hit in the chest by a fireball the size of your head, or a boulder summoned from the sky, or a necrotic tentacle that leaves ruined corpses behind. A decent mage should be able to have a much higher attack-per-minute.ĭamage output. Turns out firearms, until the invention of the metallic cartridge, have a very low rate of fire. Firearms also have a complicated any long reloading process. Some early models needed a stand to be aimed properly. Compared to what is generally used for magic (a free hand or 2, sometimes a bag of physical components/power source), a firearm takes up lots of space. Eventually the musket was invented, but it was still very bulky. Most early guns were micro-cannon on a stick. Guns have not yet evolved into something that fires every time the trigger/mechanism is activated, and accuracy is very poor until the invention of rifling and the minie bullet. And the pitchfork stinks for some reason. Why would a knight use a pitchfork as a spear? It gets the job done, but it is seen as a peasant's weapon, but it looks ugly as well. Making the gun more hazardous in a wizard duel.ĭistaste. Maybe there a VERY few SPECIALIST wizards who may be able to do this on the fly but not your average joe wizard.ĭon't forget that in a wizard battle, it is not impossible to explode (via pyrokinesis) the bullets in an enemy wizard's gun. You need to take into account bullet size, case, powder. Even if you are only creating a bullet, it's not like that is as simple as a knife. This way, if you are a wizard, it's easier to create an arrow and project it through the air rather than creating a gun with bullets that are propelled via chemicals. You could even have the system require more time for complex materials (it takes longer to make a steel spring than a wooden cube for example.) While Maker Magic may be great and able to construct anything, it may have the issue of being much harder to craft objects based on complexity of object trying to make. Seems like a lot of work when the making of an arrow would be MUCH simpler/quicker. As a wizard making guns, you need to know all of those along with bullets. Take a look at the photo to see just how many parts are in a handgun. Not only would you have to create every part, but also assemble the pieces. While I am not ultra knowledgeable about firearms, it doesn't take a genius to realize that constructing one of these via magic is going to get a little confusing. While you can make the argument that magic affects tech ( Dresden Files), magic is too OP, or magic is more efficient, there is a much easier explanation. From your question description "don't use guns or other modern weapons", I am going to assume this is modern day wizards and not someplace where guns don't exist. ![]()
