The Astronauts’ Witchfire received new details and gameplay at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. No, release date for early access wasn’t revealed, though it is coming soon. However, we did learn more about spells and the four core elements.
Designer Karol Krok explained that there are Light and Heavy spells. The former requires less stamina, but the latter deals more damage. The elements – Fire, Water, Earth and Air – comprise many spells, each having unique properties. Fire causes enemies to take more damage, while Air spells can chain lightning between enemies.
They also interact with each other. Hit an enemy with a Fire spell, then an Air spell, and shoot them. The additional damage taken due to the Fire spell will chain to nearby foes thanks to the Air spell. Other spells include Cursed Phantom Bell, which stuns enemies when the bell tolls.
Witchfire is coming to the Epic Games Store. Stay tuned for more details and learn more about combat and Attunement here.
