New Review Roundup
Wildfire has had a number of additional reviews go live since release - here's a selection of quotes from them. We're thrilled to see so many critics and players discovering the game and indulging in the sneaky, mischievous playstyles Wildfire offers.
"The love of Thief, and even more recent stealth gems such as Mark of the Ninja shine through in Wildfire, but it’s the game’s own systems that help it to stand out amongst its peers."
- Player2
"It caters so well to those who love stealth games or those who crave mayhem ... Wildfire is a must-have of 2020!"
- 5/5, Game News
"When it all comes together, Wildfire is a triumphant stealth game that’s a lot of fun to play."
- GameSpew
"The various uses of your three elemental powers works well in adding a puzzle element to the stages and makes each stage feel chaotically fun, while the stealth emphasis and lack of focus on killing makes the endeavor feel fresh."
- Worth Playing
"The clever use of the environment and the many unique elemental powers makes sneaking through this beautiful world a total blast. Whether you want to go like medieval Snake like I did or wreak total havoc with your powers, the choice is yours."
- PurePlayStation
"...There is a deceptively deep stealthy adventure on offer."
- TheXboxHub
"...A challenging 2D stealth platformer that does stealth well."
- GameSpace
"...Will keep you on the edge of your seat as you set up elaborate sequences of events and laugh whenever you see enemies get snagged in one of your traps."
- VideoChums
"Once I finished the game, I handed my son a second controller and we embarked on the adventure together. What I found was pure chaotic humor. When we finally stopped laughing between goof ups, we played catch with fireballs as father and son. That is until my son lit our pet bobcat on fire."
- Nintendad
"As players wait, crouched in the tall grass to pick the pocket of guards as they walk past and then burn the ground behind them, it's hard not to be reminded of more cinematic mainstream hits like Assassin's Creed."
- CBR
"Wildfire still fulfills its pedigree: an immersive stealth sim made by ardent fans who just want to share their love with the world."
- Screenrant
