What is Deathbound?
Published by Tate Multimedia and Developed by Trialforge Studio,Deathboundis a newly announced souls-like action RPG.
Survive in a brutal reality where Life and Death were never more conflicted.
Story
For starters,Deathboundis set in the fictional world of Zieminal.
From the body-filled streets to arenas and places of worship.
With its imposing brutalist architecture and melding of technology, its a city bound for oblivion.
However, you are the one thing standing in their way.
We just wish we could say who you are, but it’s sort of hard to make out.
In the eyes of the Church, an icon of sin and heresy.
To others, validation of their relentless experiments.
You stand in a world where there is no good nor evil, only justifications.
As a result, it seems that Trialforge Studio wants to keep a sense of mystery in the plot.
Despite this, they already have us hooked into their fictitious world.
One of the biggest ways they are attempting to branch out is in combat.
Combine their unique personalities and combat styles and switch between them seamlessly.
Morphing is another original combat feature a part of the gameplay.
Essentially, Morphing allows you to combine the powers of fallen warriors into devastating Morphstrikes.
Utilize different attack styles to pull-off powerful combinations and finishing blows.
And you’ll need it because the foes inDeathboundare crafted to push you to your limits.
Regardless, first news of the game came with the announcement trailer that’s fresh off the shelf.
Although it is mostly cinematic, there are few glimpses of gameplay.
The slightly encouraging news is that the release date on Steam is listed as Coming Soon.
Because the game already has a Steam page, we can confirm thatDeathboundis coming to PC.
Aside from that, it’s far too early to discuss game editions.
