Evaluation

Tombwater launched on March 31, 2026 as a complete, content-rich game — 25 bosses, 100+ enemy types, 16 biomes, and roughly 25 hours of gameplay. Both items in the DLC list (a soundtrack and a digital guidebook) shipped on launch day and are supplementary extras rather than gameplay content. Since launch, Moth Atlas has been actively supporting the game. A stability and balance patch dropped on April 9, 2026, followed by a major patch (V1.07) on May 14, 2026 that addressed difficulty balancing, added new enemy sprites, introduced a new damage type, and included numerous bug fixes. Most significantly, in a June 25, 2026 post announcing the Steam Summer Sale and a Blasphemous bundle, the developer explicitly confirmed that two new features are currently in development: **class respec options** and **New Game+**. Both are described as coming "soon," meaning players can expect at least one more meaningful free update to the game. No paid DLC has been announced alongside these additions.

About this game

Play as a lone gunslinger who arrives in the accursed ghost town in search of a lost friend. The residents of the once-prosperous mining town have been afflicted by madness. Monsters and horrors roam the streets and there are few souls remaining with a sound mind. If the Eldritch beasts of the town can be overcome– there may be hope yet for Tombwater.

Dash and slash your way through unsettling Eldritch beasts. Wield an arsenal of firearms, blades, spells, apothecary items, and cursed charms to protect yourself from a madness taking hold. Strike with a cavalry saber before casting a spell, or, equip yourself with a flame-imbued shotgun and a mining pickaxe to just tear the monsters apart.

Tread your way through the interconnected world of Tombwater. Metroidvania elements allow you to discover canyons, scrublands, forests, mines, and more. Find many secret, optional areas full of strange NPCs and their quests, or dangerous enemies guarding rewards.

A ancient curse, a mining disaster, a missing sheriff, and a darkness permeating everything. Uncover the secrets that Tombwater’s deranged inhabitants are trying to keep buried.
