- Wizard with a Gun developer Galvanic Games is closing: 'Sales are not strong enough to sustain our studio' - 14 June 2024
Wizard with a Gun is a top-down co-op roguelite about wizards who, as the title makes clear, are packing heat. It's really good—"a lean roguelite that never feels like it's wasting your time, even if it's got some rough edges," we said in our 80% review —but will be the last game from developer Galvanic Games, which announced today that it is closing...

- "Bounty of Guns" Sneak-Peek: Legendary Week! - 1 March 2024
Howdy spellslingers! Welcome to the final week of guns! We're wrapping up the fourth (and final) week of our preview of "Bounty of Guns," where each week in February we post a gun-a-day from our upcoming update on social media. This week, we've highlighted a wide variety of the rarest weapons that will be available, but we've only scratched the surface of what you'll discover in the "Bounty of Guns"! Blightspreader Since discovering the Infinite Well in the Tower, Orion has spent years trying to cleanse its poison. His idea for the Blightspreader came originally as a way to deliver antidote faster than the Well's rate of decay, but now his gun too has been corrupted. Orion has infused the minigun with the Well's poison and wields it as a weapon against those who would attack Hilda and her Riders. Polaris Polaris is Odden Hammerite's masterpiece. She found a way to make the charged spell…
- "Bounty of Guns" Sneak-Peek: Biome Week! - 23 February 2024
Howdy spellslingers! Even more guns have been announced. We've wrapped on the third week of our preview month for "Bounty of Guns," where each week in February we post a gun-a-day from our upcoming update to social media. This week, we highlighted the wide variety of elemental weapon styles that will be available, but it just scratched the surface of what's possible in "Bounty of Guns!" Whether you're an ice-cold alchemist spellcaster or a charming magus gunslinger; there is a gun for you! Repenter The Repenter is another classic piece of Fidrow Ironworks commonly used by the Cult of Iron. While it only holds six bullets in its cylinder, this revolver fires far more potent spells than the basic flintlocks of the Imperium. Viper's Fangs Scavenged metals from the Fell sell for high coin to the Cult of Lead. The Viper's Fangs is a gun custom-built from that toxin-infused lead. Differing gr…

Howdy spellslingers! Even more guns have been announced! We've wrapped on the second week of our preview month for "Bounty of Guns," where each week in February we post a gun-a-day from our upcoming update to social media.

Whether you're an ice-cold alchemist spellcaster or a charming magus gunslinger; there is a gun for you! Vitriol The Cult of Lead has developed numerous weapons to better spread poison and corruption. Vitriol is one of their most successful experimental weapons yet. Each shot adds an additional poison dose to its bullet, making it the ideal companion to lethal finisher spells! Cold Hard Revenge Serve your revenge ice cold with a rifle that enhances the potency of chilling and freezing spells! The alchem…
- "Bounty of Guns" Sneak-Peek! - 9 February 2024
Calling All Arcane Gunslingers! There are new guns on the horizon! For the month of February we’re posting a gun-a-day (excluding weekends) on our social media and Discord to celebrate our upcoming “Bounty of Guns” update. At the end of each week, you can tune in here for a recap of all the guns we've revealed over the week. Fidrow Ironworks is an industrial wandsmith on the central plains. Their wands are mass produced but well regarded for their reliability and consistent output. They don't fire the highest potency spells, but for a new gunmancer you'd be hard pressed to find a better weapon to start your adventures. Here's some of their noteworthy wands. Fidrow Sawed Off Fidrow Sawed Off shoots a cluster of bullets in a very close range for massive damage. It's the tool of choice for gunslingers who wish to conceal their wands in their robes until they get close enough to put a hole…
