Morbid: The Seven Acolytes

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is a Horrorpunk Action RPG filled with Lovecraftian horrors and Cronenbergian gore, making it the most gruesome take on the isometric Souls-like genre yet!

Greetings, Striver! This month, we would like to show you just some of the gut-wrenching and powerful weapons that you will find in Morbid: The Lords of Ire. Which will you choose to slaughter the hideous creatures that await your path?

Every Striver receives the sword when they first begin their training. It is a fine sword and has served the Striver well through many dire scenarios. Though its power has waned over the years, the blade still reminds her of the path she has hitherto fared. [i]“The sword still reminds you of the path you've hitherto fared. Its warm hilt has guided you through the cursed hamlet of Solya, the murky streets of Yortael, the putrid Felfields, and the deadly maze that was Grimwald's Grove. By its trusty blade, many a mighty foe has fallen, the mindless Boatswain Borga, the legless witch Yaga Moer, the formidable Undead Mammoth-Beast, and of course, the Seven Acolytes of Mornia.”[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43609920/0fb045e5add6b66042a62ffe0d0976752e578afd.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43609920/c86c9b07944cabbcb4a962808e320304955713aa.png[/img] [i]The Sword of Dibrom is a legendary sword that the Striver is allotted at the beginning of her gruesome journey. [/i] [h3][b]Mountain’s Edge[/b][/h3] Great axes trade away speed for high damage and impact. Most designs thus endorse a barbaric style of combat where ferocity reigns and grace matters not. Those who favor the brutish way of the great axe often declare that in battle elegance is irrelevant; only the results matter. One could say they are not wrong.

Various designs and materials have been used in making these so-called, iron fists. Though low in damage across the board, they all share one distinguishing feature; they provide the combattant with superior control over their maneuvers.

[/i] [h3][b]Flensing Daggers[/b][/h3] Daggers allow for a combat rhythm of unparalleled rapidity. No other weapon class can match the speed with which a combatant armed with two deadly dirks can take on an enemy. However, the swift moves are being paid for in diminished damage and impact, as small blades create small wounds and carry little inertia.
