Get sent on a roguelike mission from the Vatican in stylish horror shooter Witchfire

Translate
Developer The Astronauts hasn't put out a game since 2014's brilliant adventure game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Their next project has finally entered early access, though, and it's very cool and very different from their last release...in a good way!
The new game is titled Witchfire, and while it shares spooky vibes with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the core of the game is a roguelike shooter. If that change sounds jarring, you should know that much of the team at The Astronauts was previously at developer People Can Fly, the studio behind satisfyingly over-the-top shooters like Bulletstorm and Painkiller. Witchfire borrows the adrenaline-packed action and gunplay of those titles, but the overall atmosphere is more horror, and it has the roguelike die-upgrade-rinse-repeat formula going on.
So how is it? Well, TapTap editor Ian Boudreau has been playing it, and he's very impressed so far, noting that it's a gorgeous and great shooter that also has a compelling progression system. You can check out his Quick Review for all the details:
If you're itching to try it for yourself, Witchfire is available now in early access on PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store for $39.99. The Astronauts says it is planning to bring it to other PC platforms (i.e. Steam) after around a year, which is also approximately how long the game is planned to be in early access. It's also planned for consoiles at some point in the future.
