Trialforge Studio and Tate Multimedia pull back the curtain on what’s to come in their highly anticipated Soulslike title, Deathbound. The spotlight was all theirs during Realms Deep 2023, where they revealed a combat teaser that screams the essence of steel and magic.
The Power Duo: Steel and Magic in the World of Ziêminal
The teaser highlights the rich, mythical world of Ziêminal—a playground of steel and magic where Faith and Science are on a head-on collision course. The realm features the grand city of Akratya, a hotspot of malevolent entities and relentless bosses designed to push gamers to the edge of their skills.
Survival in Akratya: It’s All About Team Spirit
Here’s where things get spicy. To survive Akratya’s perilous streets, players will need to forge alliances with fallen warriors scattered across the landscape. These spectral comrades offer not just firepower but also strategic depth, allowing players to adapt and respond to any hellish scenario they might encounter.
Transform and Conquer: Dynamic Combat System
In Deathbound, gone are the days of one-size-fits-all playstyles. Players have the liberty to dynamically switch between different fallen warriors—each contributing unique abilities to the arsenal. You’re not just a static character; you’re an evolving entity equipped to handle different threats.
Wield The Power: Meet The Warriors
- Therone, the disciple of the Goddess Death, offers formidable sword-and-shield combos.
- Agharos brings the hammer down, literally, with earth-shattering strikes.
- Olivia specializes in long-range magical assaults, making it rain—lightning, that is.
The Last Resort: Morphstrikes Unleashed
Just when it looks like the end is near, the game introduces Morphstrikes. These are the Hail Marys of Deathbound, executed by harnessing the collective powers of absorbed fallen warriors. A well-timed Morphstrike could be the game-changer in battles against otherwise invincible foes.
What’s Next?
Keep those controllers ready and stay tuned for more sneak peeks and updates on Deathbound, a game where your survival relies on mastering both steel and magic.
