Emil Englund, a design director working at Arrowhead Games, says that his team will constantly monitor matches of The Showdown Effect after launch in order to assess how various players use their weapons.

After a few weeks, the developer might create and add new weapons or modify already existing ones.

Englund tells VG247 that “Since there are always people better at your own game than you are, we want to look closely at those factors, we expect to find some things over-powered or exploitable.”

During development, the Arrowhead team created a limited number of weapons for The Showdown Effect in an effort to keep the game options and mechanics as clear as possible for the player base.

The Showdown Effect is a fast and very creative mix between shooter and action, played on a 2D plane.
