Midwest Games Unveils the Robust Array of Weapons

Weapons Showcase | Midwest Games Unveils the Robust Array of Weapons, Spells, and Charms in its Upcoming 2D Souls-Like Action RPG ‘Tombwater’

• Blood Rapier: Blade of an infamous alchemist who sought immortality. Restores a small amount of health on each hit. Weapon art: Employ a life-stealing slash, then quickly backstep.
   
• Cursed Pickaxe: Pickaxe weighed down with regrets of the dead and still alive alike. Weapon art: Call regretful visages in a swirl of smoke.
   
• Anchor: A ship's anchor. Only the modified grip suggests this was previously used as a melee weapon. While slow, its sharp edges pierce deeply for its weight. Weapon art: Throw the anchor, then reel it back on its chain.
   
• Streetlamp: A gas streetlamp uprooted from Tombwater's streets, largely unmodified. Successive swings can create a small burst of flame. Weapon art: Gather motes of flame to swirl around in a ring.
   
• Bullwhip: Leather bullwhip. Has a long reach but requires precision. Deals extra damage when striking with the tip.

• Oilsprayer: Oddly modified oil can that sprays its contents. Of dubious utility, but foes covered in oil would have difficulty navigating fire. 
   
• Edison Cannon: An experimental contraption based on designs by the gunsmith Medvedik. It fires a bolt of lightning after a brief charge and can only be fired in a straight line, so take care to align your target.
   
• Gatling Gun: A Gatling gun that fires many bullets in a slightly uncontrollable spread. Once mounted on a stagecoach, it is now cumbersome but potentially devastating.
   
• Rattler: An experimental pistol that coats its bullets in rattlesnake venom. Each hit deals a significant amount of poison buildup.
   
• Infernal Shotgun: Fires shells packed with an alchemical mixture that reacts with blood in its target's body, inflicting fire damage.

• Ox Fist: Conjure a spectral ox to charge forward. Will stagger most foes.
   
• Moth Swarm: Summons a swarm of moths that circle around the player, dealing poison to enemies they collide with.
   
• Gravefingers: The fingers of a dead man erupt from the earth to claw foes. This folk hex is even more potent in Tombwater, where the dead sleep only lightly.
   
• Otherworldly Howl: Channels the inner, bestial urges to release an unworldly howl that pushes back any nearby enemies.
   
• Fate Bind: Binds nearby enemies to share the caster's date. When hurt, damage received is channeled to bound foes. 

• Third Eye Blindfold: Prevents spellcasting if the spell would cause madness
   
• Spiderwound: Bleed spiders when wounded
   
• Gambler's Charm: Deal increased damage, but also take increased damage
   
• Bulletbreaker: Allows one to deflect bullets with melee weapons
   
• Lucky Bullet: Increases damage when firing the final bullet in your bandolier
