- Wildfire review - 1 June 2020
Wildfire review A 2D stealth game in which you can wield elemental powers of fire, water and earth, Wildfire is ultimately less than the sum of its many parts. * Developer: Sneaky Bastards; * Publisher: Humble Games; * Release: Out now; * On: Windows; * From: Steam , GOG , Humble ; * Price: £11.39/€15/$15; Stealth games tend to come in two flavours. Nowadays most are systemic playgrounds, in which players are presented with a range of options for how to deal with any given situation, and errors are forgiven after the few seconds it takes a guard to decide it was probably rats. A handful of others are more rigid, with only one correct way to play, and each stumble from the shadows punished by death and loading screens. I like both of these kinds of stealth games, though I prefer the former. My frustrations with Wildfire can largely be traced to not knowing which kind of stealth game it&r…

- Wildfire is now in Beta - 17 April 2020
We'd like to share the most significant update in Wildfire's development yet. We have officially hit beta, which means the game is feature-complete. In real terms, this means the entire game is playable from start to finish. Is the game itself finished? No - while no new content is being added, we're still taking time focusing on quality assurance and bug fixes from here on out. It's difficult to show you images and GIFs of this progress, as a majority of the advancement has been made in the final levels and endgame. For that reason, we're choosing not to spoil anything, as we have some great locations, interesting new mechanics, and a few big surprises hidden away that we'll let you discover for yourself. In our previous post, we mentioned that we had partnered with a publisher to get over the finish line. We can now reveal that publisher is Humble Bundle, and in the above trailer you…
