Wildfire is a 2D stealth-platformer developed by Sneaky Bastards, released in 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Set in a world where magic has nearly vanished, the player takes the role of a person branded a witch by the forces of the Arch Duchess, who pursues them across forests, caverns, and frozen mountain terrain. Core gameplay revolves around elemental manipulation — igniting fires that spread through the environment, freezing water to create crossings or immobilize enemies, and shifting earth to grow concealing grass or climbable vines. These abilities expand as the game progresses, though hazards like spreading fire apply equally to the player. Enemies operate cooperatively, requiring careful use of the environment to evade or defeat them. An optional co-op mode allows a second player to join using a gamepad, combining elemental powers to navigate the game's interconnected systems. Rescuing and escorting captive villagers to safety is a central objective throughout.
In a world where magic has all but died out, you’ve been branded a witch by villainous forces who fear your elemental power. Outsmart the superstitious armies of the Arch Duchess as they hunt you through lush forests, deep caverns, and over frozen mountaintops. Find and free your fellow villagers from captivity, then lead them to safety to reclaim your home.
