Deathbound

Mechanics

Deathbound is a third-person game. The gameplay core is combat, both against hostile warriors and monsters inspired by the five stages of grief. Alongside regular enemies we'll also face powerful bosses. We can dispatch enemies using melee weapons and various skills.

The protagonist is able to absorb the essence of defeated warriors. This grants him their identities, memories and combat skills. The player can freely switch between acquired personalities, chain attacks of different identities into deadly combos and execute powerful finishing moves. The deceased warrior's former allegiance affects how he synergizes with other warriors after death.

Technical aspects

Deathbound makes use of a grim, atmospheric artstyle. The enemy designs and brutalist architecture of the locations are all very appealing.
