Ravenbound

Game mechanics

In Ravenbound, we observe the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). We can explore the vast and diverse world. We move through it on foot or in the air (after turning into a Raven), choosing the destination of our next expeditions and the challenges we want to take on. Our ultimate goal is to make Raven strong enough to complete the task assigned to him and deal with the Traitor.

Avalt, though picturesque, is full of dangers, so fighting enemies is the daily bread here. We fight draugr, trolls, huldra demons and other creatures native to Scandinavian folklore, making use of cold weapons and magic. The battles are dynamic, and we have to be in constant motion to perform quick evasions and launch lightning-fast counterattacks.

No matter how well we do on the battlefield, sooner or later we are bound to die. Death here is permanent, and when we fall, another fighter takes our place. Before embarking on an adventure in his skin, we select cards that give us access to increasingly better equipment, combat skills and spells.

Technical aspects

Ravenbound boasts colorful and clear graphics, which are kept in a slightly cartoonish style. The whole game is detailed and pleasing to the eye; both the diverse locations and enemy designs are appealing.
