[OVERVIEW TRAILER]

Forge with your path through the unforgiving world of Deathbound. Embrace the innovative 4-hero soulslike party system and bind with fallen warriors found throughout the world and dynamically morph between each character seamlessly mid-combat. No matter the creed, the fallen must fight as one. Execute devastating Morphstrike with the combined power of the party and turn the tides of battle.

Find and absorb the essence of seven fallen warriors granting you access to new fighting styles and a glimpse into their past. From spell slingers, brutal maulers, skillful swordsmen and a graceful capoeira fighter, the options to experiment during battle are nearly endless. In a world where science and faith are at odds, the beliefs of your party members will directly influence meaningful combat effects. Synergize within your party to create an unstoppable force against the formidable foes ahead.

Key Features:

  • The Essence - Gain the skills, memories and identities of fallen warriors throughout the world. Combine their unique personalities and combat styles and switch between them seamlessly.
     

  • Party System - The essences you absorb form your party. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows you to craft a playstyle through talent trees.

  • Dynamic Morphing - Unleash the combined powers of fallen warriors with devastating Morphstrikes. Utilize different attack styles to pull off powerful combinations and finishing blows to defeat all who oppose you.
     

  • Brutal World - Ziêminal is a world that mixes a technological past and a medieval present, home to diverse cultures. The city of Akratya is rich in lore and dangers.

  • Unforgiving Monsters and Bosses - Face challenging enemies crafted to push you to your limits. Their very nature is based on the five stages of grief, with each new encounter commanding the attention of any soul who dares face them.
