Wizard With A Gun Launches a Day Early

Wizard With a Gun, Galvanic Games and Devolver Digital's upcoming magic-infused co-op sandbox survival game, was originally scheduled for release on PC tomorrow, Oct. 17. But then another game about mowing down hordes of monsters with magic in a dark fantasy world—something called Diablo IV, which we've never heard of, but apparently a lot of people love—decided it was going to release on Steam on the same day.

So we're releasing the PC version of Wizard With a Gun TODAY, a day early. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will still be launching on Oct. 17 (sorry), but if you're a PC player, you'll be able to lock and load sooner than planned for the magically low price of $24.99. Set in a fractured post-apocalyptic world known as the Shatter, Wizard With a Gun sees you (and a friend if you don't want to face the horrors alone) crafting an arsenal of magical guns 'n' ammo to drive back the forces of Chaos and restore this realm to its former glory.

I don't normally play this type of game, but I really like Devolver Digital (Hotline Miami, My Friend Pedro).
Since this can be played co-op too I think I'll give it a shot w/ someone who does.

There was a demo a while back and it was pretty good, for the type of game it is.

This game runs really well on my Steam Decks. On the SteamOS one, I'm getting 60 FPS at 6W TDP. On the Windows one, its stable at around 7W-8W TDP, because if its set to 6W I see drops to around 48-50 FPS (due to Windows overhead, like background services, etc.).

It's some sort of Elvish scripture. Or Orkish in this case.

It kind of makes sense in some ways. Windows needs a bit more power to run its background services. Its the main reason why ROG Allys are not recommended to be run below 9W/10W because the audio driver's services are not getting enough processing power when you play games at the same time.
