Subscribed for the beautiful editing and radio car talk formatting. Vindicated for doing so with that amazing Ziemenal RX joke.

Happy to hear it 😊 ☺️

Are cool monster designs and morphin' time mechanics enough to make Deathbound stand out? Let's take a look. The game is 10% off on GOG and Steam right now, you can support us by using our affiliate link: adtr.co/4zdnhc

But how does this compare the the goty crab souls?

[@2HeadedHero]

@@skinschizo Crab Souls is a truly joyous experience that more people should play

[@2HeadedHero]

It neat 😁😁

Thanks for the impressions, I feel like this may just be too mid for purchase atm. Ive been following this game and bleak faith, and i will probably plat bleak faith at 20 bucks over this. Hops your channel continues to grow and prosper

[@2HeadedHero]

Thanks for the kind words! But yeah, this might be a "wait for sale" for many people.

I really wanted to like this game. I feel like the core design is a great idea but they got it wrong. The game heavily relies upon fluidly switching between characters but if a character takes damage you can't switch to them since health is tied to stamina meaning a low health character is essentially useless so you need to heal them but the healing items are also useless so you have to rely on the lifesteal from dealing damage but that's underwhelming. Sorry that's a long arse sentence. Basically you get stuck in a punishing spiral, you need to switch to be effective but when you get someone low life you can't switch as freely which makes it harder which means you take more damage which makes it even harder to switch etc. I think this game could be really great, it just needs some tweaks to the core idea. As it stands though I'm frustrated as hell.

[@2HeadedHero]

Fair enough, I got some of this at first until I realized how to chain characters together better and leaned on the consumables more

[@mehdiasgharpour4898]

Core idea of the game was good to rely on 4 characters and instead of making a unique build on one character, equip 4 each with their own unique build...but with very odd level up and technically no weapon upgrade...worst of all, your stamina level is the same as your health...graphic wise, not impressive, at best like a generation 8... altogether nothing to remember or wish to replay like good souls

[@2HeadedHero]

Definitely more of a character action game than an rpg but still didn't hate it.

[@solomaxlevelplayer5582]

The game is bad, very bad

[@2HeadedHero]

Think it's a matter of expectation. This ain't gonna beat a big budget Fromsoft game but it's a cool B/C level experience

[@solomaxlevelplayer5582]

@@2HeadedHero There is too much jank here my brother. Thymesia didn't have a Fromsoft level budget but was still an absolutely stellar game. This one has bad animations and bad hit detection and other issues I care not to mention. I got it refunded but still regret ever purchasing in the first place

[@Bananafluid]

@@solomaxlevelplayer5582 you are a little harsh, the main issue of the game is the control setup. The "Vanilla one - A" is awful, try B for your controller and the game will make sense. Took me 15 hours to beat since i mastered the combat system with that simple change. You are not supposed to play it like a regular souls instead you focus on powering trought with your character and metamorphose. Agreed on a small budget, they prioritized the combat and thats whay im a lillte bit sad seeing this game torn apart when they made just a small mistake. I hope they will expand and improve the mechanic on the next one. It felt like playing dark souls matrix (Slow mo on perfect dogde and hyperarmor on metamorphose) sense 8 (Tv show - switching character based on your needs).
