We saw a lot more activity on Towerborne website recently, with the Stoic Games development team offering more information on the upcoming fantasy-action-adventure game to be published by Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios over the past few weeks.

The last day Developer log entry on Towerborne site Looking at one of the many types of weapons the player characters can use in the game. It’s a sword and shield, and as the dev diary itself points out, it’s a classic fantasy game combat ring.

The dev log says that the Sword and Shield is the only weapon type in the game that can block attacks, which can reduce the amount of damage the player takes during an attack. Sword and Shield also allow players to parry attacks that may not do any damage at all if the fertilization is successful.

This weapon type will also allow users to activate what Stoic calls Valor Mode. Stoic says that this mode can be triggered when a player character’s weapon gauge fills up with both fighting enemies and taking damage. Courage mode can reduce the amount of damage a player can take for a set amount of time

The developer log adds:

During Valor Mode, the player does not need to time their parry, but will automatically resolve incoming attacks by simply pressing the appropriate button. However, if the player chooses to engage in more skill, they can attempt to time the parry perfectly, and if they do, the enemy is stunned for several seconds.

The use of the sword and shield weapon type also has several targeting abilities, some of which are also described and shown in Towerborne key log entry. currently, Towerborne It is due to launch sometime in 2024. However, as of this writing, there is no exact release date yet. Microsoft will publish the game for PC and its Xbox Series X and S consoles.
