Check out the brand-new action-packed release date announcement trailer below:
Set in a harsh world where Faith clashes with Science, Deathbound challenges you to refuse death and embrace the power of Ziêminal by bonding with fallen warriors encountered on their journey. The game’s dynamic 4-hero party system allows you to transform between characters mid-combat, ensuring survival through teamwork seamlessly. Each character possesses unique skills, combat techniques, and backstories that significantly impact gameplay.
The interactions between these characters are crucial, as they lead to different outcomes and status effects depending on player actions. For example, aligning characters from opposing factions, such as the Church of Death and the Cult of Life, will cause conflict and result in consequential combat effects. Conversely, pairing fallen warriors with similar beliefs can lead to powerful combat buffs, essential for taking down relentless foes.
Key Features

- Party System: Form your party from the essences you absorb. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows you to craft a unique playstyle through talent trees. Switch between fallen warriors to utilize their skills and abilities effectively. Each party member’s affiliation in life will affect their synergy in death.

With its imposing brutalist architecture and melding of technology, it’s a city bound for oblivion.
- Unforgiving Monsters and Bosses: Face challenging enemies designed to push you to your limits. Their very nature is based on the five stages of grief, with each new encounter commanding the attention of any soul who dares face them. Brazilian-based developer Trialforge Studio, a small but ambitious 20-person team, is making waves in the Brazilian indie scene with this fresh take on the soulslike genre.
