It was just really bland.

A magic FPS sounds great. I want more of them. I didn't completely hate the demo. But there were three spells for the part I played and none of them felt good. And all the reviews implied there really wasn't much more.

Spending all that money on a mediocre game is the bad idea. And spending 40 million on marketing and having no one know what your game is is just kind of funny.

Imagine if the Heretic series dropped in 2024 instead of the 90s? I feel like people would go crazy for that game with a modern engine and level design.

I loved me some heretic. The mages lightning spell was so satisfying.
