"Blightbound is a decent multiplayer dungeon crawler, which expresses its full potential only if you have a group of friends to play with."

"Blightbound’s problems are very disappointing because they occur on the top layer of a very solid foundation. The game’s combat is satisfying and fun, especially when playing with a group of friends. It is often quite challenging and requires intelligent …"

"Blightbound is emerging from a year in Steam Early Access, but it might be doing so too early. Lingering issues with visual elements overlapping each other, uneven party balance, repetitive loot with lacklustre stats, and a bare-bones levelling design suggest …"

"Blightbound has a lot of good to offer, but with dodgy matchmaking and a repetitive feel to the gameplay, it won&s;t be for everyone."

"Blightbound does not need only bug fixes, but a complete overhaul, because it is not a fun experience by any means. It tried to walk in the footsteps of the great classics, but it fell on its face in the …"

"Grinding is a pretty delicate balance in games. If you include too much, or not enough, or the wrong kind, you can really throw people for a loop. Blightbound upsets that careful balance, but only slightly. But that’s all it …"

""Blightbound" has unique visuals, well-organized dungeon design, and fun of growth. It&s;s more fun when you play with others through 3 player co-op mode, but the party search function is incomplete."
