"Could Use Some More Inspired Gunplay" – Wizard With A Gun Review

Galvanic Games’ Wizard With A Gun is a relaxing and breezy collectathon to pad out these colder months, mixing casual crafty survival with isometric action and exploration. Dig any deeper into its composite parts, though, and its gameplay limitations and weird structure become more apparent, in spite of an adorably animated presentation and style. Players guide their wizard through five different biomes, accomplishing near-identical tasks in each, all while subject to a fairly unimpactful time constraint as the only real challenge to speak of. Calling this game a roguelite is arguably missing the point of its central hook: collect every possible variety of mats, process and organize them back at the base, roll out, rinse, and repeat.
