Wizard with a Gun excels at providing players with a deep magic system and a wild world to inflict it on. With the world hanging on by a thread, it's up to you to rewind time again and again until your mission is complete.

Wizard with a Gun is a great game for those who can endure the loop of looting and shooting.

A lean roguelite that never feels like it's wasting your time, even if it's got some rough edges.

Unimpressive build variety, strange and tedious resource collecting, and the lack of meaningful and fun progression make Wizard with a Gun a disappointment. Ultimately, Wizard with a Gun has a really great concept and some great ideas, but it fumbles the execution.

Wizard with a Gun is an entertaining co-op action game, but balance issues and an unsatisfying ending leave it feeling unfinished and in need of updates.
