Amidst the traditional mayhem of the Devolver Digital E3 showcase were announcements for some truly interesting-looking games. One such title was Galvanic’s Wizard with a Gun. This isometric co-op survival game puts an interesting twist on the idea of wizards, asking the question: What if they had old-timey guns? The firearms in Wizard with a Gun aren’t your run-of-the-mill flintlocks and blunderbusses, but are, in fact, magical guns loaded with mystical bullets that fire off like spells!
If that hasn’t piqued your interest, then this reveal trailer showcasing the game’s stylized world and weaponry absolutely will:
