Boss Rush Much? Bound By Blades Out On PC This Month

The thumbnail for Bound By Blades hadn’t caught my attention at first, but upon reading that Assemble Entertainment are publishing Zeth’s action RPG and then seeing the trailer, I have to say that this is a title you need to give a look.

A boss-rush game set in the realm of Ashmyr, you’ll have to defeat an array of bosses to obtain new loot, materials for crafting (and perhaps even bragging rights?) in a style similar to Monster Hunter and Eldest Souls. And yes, it’s co-op as well.

Envisioned as a casual boss-rush experience focused on fun, Bound By Blades is arguably more accessible than most (I haven’t played it yet!) as you can select one of three characters with your preferred playstyle, using intuitive controls as well as three different difficulties.

Here’s a list of some of the key features:

• Beast Tamer: Slay colossal monsters through perilous combat, and learn their manoeuvres 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 manoeuvres like Quick and Strong Attacks, Combos, and Unique Combo Finishers, and enjoy over 30 craftable sets of armour 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 will be available on PC (Steam, GOG, and Windows), Nintendo Switch, and iOS/Android from the 15th of November!
