[b]Hi, Dwarves! [/b]🧔
As always, many things are happening right now in our studio! We’re here today with a showcase of weapons you can obtain in our game! So if you’re eager to take care of some dangerous monsters… This might interest you!

Time is ticking as the Playtest officially ends on April 8th 3PM (CEST).

[h3]Good ol’ Pickaxe[/h3]
We’re starting off with our loyal [b]pickaxe![/b] Which is great in dealing with persisting bullies. It’s also very helpful in gathering precious resources, like wood and stone. A perfect two in one!

But everyone needs some changes from time to time, right? Further in the game, you can find…
[h3]Battle Axe[/h3]
Well, you can’t mine with [i]that,[/i] but it’s a fair exchange for this [b]POWERFUL[/b] weapon! It’s best for quick combat, when you’re running short of time. Made with help of Eskoim technology.

[h3]Hammer[/h3]
If you really want to serve those monsters a 💥[b]PUNCH[/b]💥 the hammer may be the way to go. It’s slower than other weapons, but its strength is irreplaceable.

[h3]Tru’s Hammer[/h3]
Don’t ever think that our main hero is hopeless without his mech! Tru is a brave and strong dwarf that can take care of dangerous enemies on his [i]own,[/i] if needed.

[h3]Blunderbuss[/h3]
Sometimes, you just want to keep your distance. And that’s fine! Here to your aid comes a blunderbuss! A firearm with a short, large caliber barrel. It’s attached to the left arm of our mech.

[h3]Crossbow[/h3]
Another distance weapon that can be applied to the mech is a crossbow. A neuroballistic projectile weapon consisting of a bow embedded in a stock.

[h3]Which one is your favorite?[/h3]
What do you think, which one will be the best for you to fight with? As the game progresses, you will be able to upgrade your weapons and obtain unique to them helpful skills.
Of course, we’re still implementing more of our ideas into the game, so it’s possible for more weapons to come…

[h3]Watch out![/h3]
You can fight with the most powerful weapon, but sometimes it’s best to dodge some attacks to avoid unnecessary damage. Yes, you can also block the strike coming your way, but you might want to distance yourself from the enemy rather than standing so close. And you can do it easily, even with a heavy mech.

Same goes for Ragna! Her quick dodge is a wonderful sight. Avoid the monster attacks, no matter if you’re on land or in the air.

[h3]Powerful Dash[/h3]
What, did you think that that’s all? [b]No, no![/b] Here we present to you: [i]dash.[/i]
Feeling cornered? Use the powerful dash to charge at your enemies! Damage all monsters standing in your path.

[h3]Summing it up![/h3]
We want the combat system to be a great experience for the players. Remember that hitting those combos will help you with the most efficient way to fight!
Please keep in mind that the game is still a work in progress, so some things listed here may change. Thank you for your understanding! 😊
Tell us what is your fighting style? Do you prefer a weapon able to strike quickly or is a slower, but stronger one better in your opinion? Close combat or distancing yourself? We’re very curious!
[h3]💕 Expand your wishlist 💕[/h3]
As we mentioned in one of our previous updates, adding our games to your wishlists on Steam helps us [b]A LOT![/b] We’d be super happy if you could add there First Dwarf: First Island (our upcoming free prologue to First Dwarf)!
