Indie publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Zeth unveiled a launch date for their upcoming cozy boss rush role playing game Bound By Blades. The game is playable solo or in co-op, and is set in the high fantasy world of Ashmry. Defeat powerful enemies, harvest their loot and craft better equipment. The developers have specified that Bound By Blades revamps the formula seen from Monster Hunter and Eldest Souls to make it more approachable for the casual player.
See below for some key features:
Beast Tamer: Slay colossal monsters through perilous combat, and learn their maneuvers in order to survive the battles and come out ahead. Harvest their remains and utilize them to craft a sweet new set of gear!
Intuitive Controls and Unique Combat: Bound By Blades is designed for players of all skill levels, allowing any adventurer to embark on this challenging journey. Employ a variety of maneuvers like Quick and Strong Attacks, Combos, and Unique Combo Finishers, and enjoy over 30 craftable sets of armor and 30 unique weapons.
Sit, Stay, Quest!: Enlist the help of pets as your reliable companions to handle your fetch quests or join your side in battle. Feed them to become more powerful and use special items found on your quest to help them evolve.
The Challenge is Yours: Stuck on a boss, despite memorizing their unique attack pattern? Simply change the settings on the go and select from three different difficulties. Remember, each encounter increases in difficulty with each defeated foe!
Choose your Fighter: There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” playstyle in Bound by Blades. Acknowledging this, select and swap between the game’s three main characters, each with their own unique battle styles and gear: Teo the Kuza cat, Guren the Fangorian bunny, and Kotathe Oxbourne ox.
Bound by Blades is coming to PC via Steam and GOG on November 15, 2022. It will also launch on Nintendo Switch and iOS/Android devices sometime in 2023. A free demo is available now on Steam.
