Inkbound | NEW - Roguelike with incredibly deep and varied gameplay mechanics and upgrades!! @ 2K
0Inkbound is an awesome new released turn-based tactical roguelike from the creators of Monster Train. The battles play out in an arena with just enough room to run around without feeling constricted. The size of the battlefields are perfect. Get used to seeing circles everywhere, because at turn start, players see enemy attack circles, arrows, or rectangles to demonstrate what enemies will do. Avoid those geometric hazards and you avoid damage. Healing isn’t entirely common. Players also move within a limited circle based on movement points. At default, players can use four will (action) points to execute one of three to five abilities to attack foes or do some utility nonsense. Moving and attacking as one sees fit breathes freedom into a genre that typically requires players to move entirely first or at the end. In Inkbound, players can move a little bit or a lot, use an action, and then continue moving, or use all of their will points at the start and then move—it’s completely up to you. What keeps Inkbound fresh between runs is the sense of progression. Meet some unique NPCs, satisfy a quest condition, and stack up enough wins, and you can unlock new Vestiges, in-game achievements, cosmetics, and characters to play as. This isn’t the kind of game that offers stat upgrades overtime to beat the game. You make the game harder with each win (like a classic ascension system seen in many deck-builders and roguelikes) while only offering new tools along the way that aren’t objectively better than other tools. In this way, player strategy wins the day, not toiling away across dozens of hours of runs just to get higher numbers. Once again, this makes Inkbound a satisfying romp that rewards players for skillful play rather than grinding. Hope you enjoy my video.
