Dear Sunborn,
In the past, we have talked about the world of Second Sun, and the influences behind it. Today, we are going to talk about arguably the most important thing in an FPS: WEAPONS! (and how they kill good).
Bullets & Spells
As many of our demo players know, Second Sun has a variety of weapons ranging from pistols and wands, to fireballs and grenades. Rowen is a fantasy world where modern technology lives side-by-side with the magical and macabre, and no aspect can portray this duality better than combat! With magic and bullets at your disposal, the forces of the Dark Sun stand no chance!
Find Your Style
Getting more into the nitty gritty, these weapons aren't just for show! Shotguns, although very powerful, have short range and wide pellet spread, so they are great for close-quarter combat, but less effective in long distance encounters, which might benefit a player who likes to get in close to their enemies. On the other hand, magic, be it ice or fire, is not as fast as a bullet, however, they carry more than enough power to overcome that flaw! So where a Diviner might try to stay away in combat, a Marauder might rush in. If you want to play a style combining both, how you choose to use these weapons and approach combat is up to you!
Keep Your Favourite Weapon Close
With this in mind, at some point in the game, the player will have outgrown the weapon they love so much, and choose to instead utilize something more level-appropriate. But do not worry, for all weapons, big and small, have different versions with different rarities! Really like that fire staff, but its level is way too low now? Fret not, for you may find another at a much higher level.
Besides finding higher level weapons, you may also encounter ones with enchantment slots which can provide even more versatility in how you engage enemies and allow you to reach even greater heights of power. The possibilities are limitless!
So venture forth and tell stories of your favourite weapons from the demo on our Second Sun Discord!
Happy hunting,
The Second Sun Team
