About the Game
Witchfire is an early-access dark fantasy first-person action RPG shooter from the team behind Painkiller and Bulletstorm.
Witchfire is a single-player first-person action RPG shooter with a dark fantasy setting, and it is currently in early access. You play as a hunter of witches, a deeply sinful person whose blood carries witchfire, an undying assassin who takes on one last mission in search of redemption. The conflict is between the church and the witch forces of the Black Sea, so the mood is grim and the stakes feel personal.
The core loop is built around expeditions. You head into dangerous territory, defeat enemies to grow stronger and upgrade your guns, and gather valuable resources. At any point you can retreat to your base with your loot, or push on and challenge the witches' guardian familiars to unlock new areas, stronger items, and upgrades. If you fall, you get one chance to return to the battlefield and recover what you lost, or you can plan a fresh assault.
Between runs, a roguelite system called 秘術 strengthens you and your arsenal after each completed encounter, and you can mix and match many unique weapons, spells, and relics to create a hunter that fits your style. You also choose which battlefield to fight the witches on, which gives the wide, immersive environments a real sense of freedom.
The story is pieced together from the past. You investigate a ship that crashed on the edge of the witches' territory and search for relics that could shift the balance of the war. The store page makes clear that the game will keep changing during early access, with new regions, enemies, weapons, and destructive tools on the way.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Fans of fast first-person shooters with RPG depth will likely enjoy Witchfire, especially players who like repeated expeditions and roguelite progression. If you enjoy building a loadout, testing different weapons and spells, and taking risks for loot, the loop rewards that experimentation.
Not Recommended For
Players who want a fully finished, polished campaign may want to wait, since the game is still in early access and will keep changing. Anyone who prefers a linear, story-driven shooter, or who finds setbacks after a death frustrating, may find the retry structure tiring.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Witchfire holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, which appears as 極度好評 in the Taiwan store, with about 92% of its reviews being positive. The review volume is tens of thousands of reviews, so this is a large sample and the rating carries real weight.
Steam's labels are based on the share of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a very high percentage from a large pool is a strong sign of broad player satisfaction. Keep in mind that early access titles can change a lot after reviews are written, so the rating may shift as updates arrive. Reading the most recent reviews on the store page will show whether opinions have moved since launch.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Witchfire currently sells for NT$599, which is also its regular price, so it is not on a tracked discount at the moment.
The lowest paid price we have recorded is NT$479, seen on June 19, 2026, which was also the first day we logged. The deepest discount we have tracked is 20%, and the game is discounted often, so sale windows do come up. We have not recorded any free-to-keep promotion for this game.
Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. The current price sits at the regular price rather than near our recorded low, so waiting for a sale and keeping it on your wishlist is a reasonable approach, though a discount is never guaranteed.
