STOCKHOLM – March 30, 2023 – Ravenbound, the action-packed roguelite from Systemic Reaction, launches today on PC via Steam for $/€29.99. Set out on an epic adventure through a fantasy open world filled with dangerous creatures inspired by Scandinavian folk tales.
Welcome to Ávalt, a beautiful fantasy island that has been overtaken by forces of hatred. You are the Vessel of an ancient power known as the Raven – an eternal weapon forged by the gods to rid the land of its curse. Use skill and wit to defeat ferocious enemies and save Ávalt from the monsters that threaten its existence, and remember – with each death comes a new beginning.
Key Features
- A Beautifully Deadly Open World: Freely explore a unique fantasy world inspired by Scandinavian folklore on foot or on the wings of the Raven. Choose where to go and which challenges to undertake, but beware: this land and its creatures are ever-changing, giving rise to new foes, locations, and trials when you may least expect it!
- Intense Action-Roguelite Combat: Arm yourself with steel imbued with magic and face off against fantastic creatures like trolls, hulders, and the fearsome undead draugr in fast-paced, up-close combat where tactics are everything. Each Vessel has just one life to sacrifice, but the abilities you attain will benefit the next Vessel that rises in your place.
- Play Your Cards Right: Ravenbound’s deck-building feature gives you access to more powerful gear and weapons with each new life. Expand your deck when you die, but pick carefully: these are the cards your next Vessel will draw. Improve your deck to give each Vessel the best chance to survive and bring the Raven closer to victory.
Ravenbound is available now on Steam, with updates and new content coming later this year. For more information, visit www.RavenboundGame.com, and keep up with the latest updates by following the team on Twitter, Facebook, Discord and TikTok.
