July 29, 2020
The world lies in peril. Decades ago, a band of legendary warriors slayed the dreaded Shadow Titan after a long and ferocious struggle, but their celebration was short-lived.

"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 …"
Read original review"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."
Read original review"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 for the most part ticks every box for the genre. With its Pokemon-esque approach of unlocking heroes and levelling them up at your own pace, it is a grinder’s dream. There are minor annoyances here and there and the …"
Read original review"Blightbound has flashes of fun within it but could’ve used more time in early access before launching in full. When I got to play with two actual other people online, I quite enjoyed taking down the enemies and bosses in …"

""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."

"Blightbound manages to present an interesting proposal with charismatic characters and stylish visuals. Its gameplay is undoubtedly its strongest point. Venturing into graveyards, dungeons and mountains while slaughtering, or being slaughtered, by grotesque creatures is a captivating formula, especially when …"
