When players aren't romping around the dangerous world doing battle and collecting resources, they'll have a tower they can build, upgrade, and craft in. 'The now desolate Barren Sea was an ocean before the world broke, but its inhabitants have long since moved beyond sea-faring and have become desperados and bounty hunters.' Also shown is a place called the Fell, 'a swamp that has overgrown the ruins of a civilization that was destroyed by magic long before the latest cataclysm.' And that desert shown wasn't always a desert. The fellow with the very long gun in the cinematic portion of the trailer is a Mage Hunter, one of the enemies players will face. When you have outlaws, you have bounty hunters. Making things worse, gunmancers have been adventuring and raiding the ruins of fallen civilizations in hopes of finding more potent reagents for their bullets.' 'Gunmancy,' says Morgan, 'was invented recently as a 'safer' way of controlling and channeling magic, but gunmancers are still loathed throughout the broken portions of the world. So, wizards started packing heat and 'gunmancy' was born. In the realm of Wizard with a Gun, a magical cataclysm has destroyed parts of the world, and even hundreds of years later people still don't trust magic or wizards much. Morgan explained some of the lore and backstory of the unusual world and Western-style showdowns we see in the trailer. The trailer shown at E3 was half cinematic and half gameplay, and before you ask, here's the excellent song backing the trailer: It's Breath and Bone by Ryan Ike, who also composed music for Where the Water Tastes Like Wine and West of Loathing. In Wizard with a Gun, players will battle creatures in randomized overworld biomes, gather resources, and concoct spells in bullet form back at their base.
