"In a vacuum, looks pretty solid. It has 's signature movement abilities, high-octane action, and a mix of fantasy and modern-day aesthetics that lead to fun moments like using a rifle on horseback and then casting elemental spells and scorching enemies alive. It's got a lot going on, but it also shoulders the burden of looking kind of generic. Even its name is remarkably indistinct. If you showed me footage of and told me it was an ad for mobile slop, I would probably believe it."
""I've waited my entire life to tell you about this F2P generic Hero Shooter made in secrecy by a few devs that use to work at that iconic game studio you use to like. It's the honor of a life time! This will blow your mind, the power of gaming! Here's Magic Sherbang!" pic.twitter.com/GH9PP28gk7 - Michael (@LegacyKillaHD) December 12, 2025"
"In the time since its development began, the hero shooter/live-service market has become fraught, to say the least. People have a harder time getting excited for a game that threatens to occupy hours of their lives or one that could go the way of Concord and get shut down almost immediately."
Wildlight Entertainment unveiled a new sci‑fi/fantasy raid shooter at the Game Awards led by developers who previously worked at Respawn. The game features signature movement abilities, fast-paced combat, and a blend of fantasy and modern-day aesthetics that enable moments like firing a rifle on horseback and casting elemental spells. The announcement produced mixed reactions driven by perceptions of a generic presentation, an indistinct name, and wider fatigue in the hero shooter/live-service market. The title launches January 26 after years of secret development, and social media compared it unfavorably to established competitors and free-to-play tropes.
