should I play it now or wait for 1.0 ?

IDK nothing about the game. But I realy like first Painkiller, that is all I know about the game (same developer)

It’s got about a year left of dev time(according to their road map) and the gameplay is very well polished. You have three areas to explore atm with a small update to the first island with a couple more activities that they plan to flesh out more. You’ll feel right at home but quick tip as the first area is relatively easy may not fully prepare you for how the challenge is so be ready for a possible spike when you take on the second area(assuming you go for the purchase right now). From my experience, I got hooked on the gameplay quick and it’s becoming one of the more addicting games I’ve played this year so far.

this is a extraction shooter, you go into location, get some loot, get out before the timer ticks on your home portal, unless you have a alternate route, you got 5min to do your stuff n get back to portal. it can be a blast and totally worth it

play it now its worth

Just got it today. Gameplay is really polished and solid. Gunplay and movement feels like something out of DOOM or Destiny. With the amount of content and polish, it feels like one of those Early Access games that almost feel like a complete game, with the future updates feeling more like expansions, and not just adding things that feel like they were missing. Hades was an early access game that gave me that same feeling.

Why would you go back into the same portal? You aren't ever going to get anything done if you do 5 minute runs lol.

Right now, it's worth forty bucks and bound to be worth even more.

Overall I always and ever would say wait for 1.0 and watch Streams, Videos and other stuff before you buy. Thats the safe route to go. Than you have tests and opinions on a "final" product.

Maybe even wait for week1 and first patches after release.

For me personal I dont do this, because I dont care much about Games I bought and test them just to find out they are trash for me... or maybe at this point and come back in a year or so.
Witchfire is not one of them so far, I enjoy the time I have with it, but I will not go "full in all out" and try to get everything done in EA, specially as I expect that progress will be reset at 1.0 latest (maybe even before if bigger balance patches come for example).
The game is cool, it has a really good gunplay and movement feeling (maybe you need to adjust to it if you play lots of shooter games, but as I normally dont do this its no problem for me personal). The Maps we have at this point looking good. Random seeds feeling nice. Arcana are a good mix (random perks you get on the maps for clearing out enemie camps) and the meta progression is "okay", not really deep or innovative but it does what it needs to do.

I def say it's a buy now. I've only ever bought 2 early access games and this is one of them.

[Albie There]

Better wait, after 10h or so you are gonna drop it to wait for 1.0 anyways.

[Nikxo]

Depends if you want to wait 1 year for full game, but atm you get quite "complete game" for what it costs.
Current state of game will keep you busy for at least 40 hours. So far I had 0 game crashes and for EA game its very well polished. Recently they added some new stuff and there is big patch coming (December).

Almost 12hrs in and its still a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of fun, im still unlocking stuff with basically every run with no end in sight. There is always something to work towards to.
