    Wizard With A Gun is certain to resonate more with players who relish the housekeeping gameplay, the opportunity to organize twenty different storage chests all over again. The tower base should serve as a safe haven from the encroaching danger outside, but that world outside is hardly ever a challenge in the first place, and we only died one time during the entire playthrough. The only real hazards here lie in what to do with a backpack full of mushrooms when the mushroom box is full. Wizard With A Gun could use some more inspired gunplay – and wizardry, for that matter - but it’s a serviceable distraction for anyone who likes to just hoover up ingredients and fill out a research tree.

    Performance issues, visual glitches, gaps in the music, inconsistent controls, confusing menus, and a variety of mechanics and features that desperately need quality-of-life improvements all mar the edges of this game. On top of that, a lack of accessibility options and the aforementioned rough game design make it less approachable to many players.

    Wizard With a Gun scratches the survival roguelike itch quite nicely. There's variety in the levels and enemies, and you're inspired to make short journeys instead of taking one long trek. The toning down of some elements, such as complete item loss on death and lack of hunger and thirst meters, means that it is a little more forgiving than its contemporaries.

    The audiovisual identity of Wizard with a Gun may be its strongest ally, but that shouldn’t discount the enjoyable gameplay loop and inventive combat options. The mismatched difficulty, unenthusiastic base building and some occasional technical hiccups stop me from fully investing in this world, but I certainly appreciate the more bite-sized survival offering that Galvanic has provided.
