Game Rant exclusively reveals that Tombwater, a 2D Western Soulslike RPG by Moth Atlas and Midwest Games, will be available on Steam starting November 12. Fans eager to experience Tombwater before its launch can download a free demo on Steam to battle a challenging boss.

Originally announced in late 2024 and subsequently showcased at the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase, Tombwater casts players as a lone gunslinger utilizing firearms, potions, and magical spells against Eldritch monsters while striving to uncover the mystery surrounding the town’s fate. The game draws inspiration from The Legend of Zelda and Red Dead Redemption series.

Tombwater Confirms November 12 Release Date With New Trailer

On September 2, the publisher Midwest Games released a new trailer confirming the November 12 launch of Tombwater on Steam. Players interested in a preview of the game can try out the free demo on Steam and experience its combat mechanics firsthand.

Some weapons featured in Tombwater include shovels, a minigun, and various spells capable of damaging multiple enemies. Players may face off against twisted shadows, foes shrouded in ritual candles, and other gun-wielding outlaws. Midwest Games also announced an upcoming playtest for Tombwater, inviting players to sign up in advance.

In a genre known for challenging combat systems, Tombwater’s top-down perspective stands out. The game promises over 20 boss fights, allowing players to utilize close-range weapons and spells effectively. Progress tracking will be facilitated through a map and quest log, with opportunities for crafting helpful tonics and explosives in battles.

The game’s release coincides with other anticipated titles such as Lumines Arise and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Fans of Soulslike gameplay should keep an eye on Tombwater this fall.
