Our take on Blightbound
The three assigned roles give encounters a team structure, but limit role choice within a group. A team must cover warrior, assassin, and mage duties rather than freely choosing how its members divide those functions.
What is Blightbound?
Blightbound is a multiplayer dungeon crawler for teams of three heroes.
Players leave a mountain refuge to explore handcrafted dungeons, battle mystical and monstrous enemies, solve puzzles, and face bosses. The game features three lands: Gravemark, Underhold, and Blood Ridge. Each player takes one of three roles: warrior, assassin, or mage. Role-specific actions include blocking damage, interrupting enemies, and healing allies; fulfilling a role charges powerful ultimates. Players can recover fallen heroes to expand the roster. Heroes have individual skills, passive abilities, and narrated stories. Hundreds of items can be looted and crafted to improve characters and change their attacks and abilities. The refuge can be developed by recruiting artisans, fulfilling bounties, and training heroes.
