Deathbound, a new game headed to Steam, is the most recent Soulslike product to hit the markets, in what feels like an infinitely growing list of titles. This particular sub-genre got its start when Demon Souls released in 2009. The game directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and developed by FromSoftware, was considered a spiritual successor to King’s Field. The style of video game design that made Demon Souls so popular, with its difficult combat and impressive environment, has inspired franchises from God of War to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. And now, Deathbound is bringing one more RPG Soulslike game into the hands of players.
Deathbound promises to be a new and unique action RPG that combines science and religion. The title was developed by Trialforge Studio and published by Tate Multimedia. It was announced in an official trailer on August 7, and will be available to gamers at some point in 2024. One way Deathbound claims it will be different from other Soulslike games, is the class system has been turned upside down.
In Deathbound, players can switch between different heroes and classes at any time. According to the studio, this is exactly what players will be required to do, in order to survive dangerous enemy encounters. The “binding system” is another part of the game, where players collect the essences of fallen enemies use them to upgrade their skill tree, or party of heroes. The official Steam page equipped with the announcement trailer and extra details is attached at the bottom of the article.
What Is Deathbound About and What Are the Minimum PC Requirements?
As previously mentioned, the Deathbound story is set to collide science and religion. It will heavily use a variety of magic and melee combat features and bring a unique upgrade function to gamers. According to the Steam store, there are five important features within the game:
“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.
𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 – The essences you absorb form your party. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows players to craft a playstyle through talent trees.
