The developer, Systemic Reaction, announced on February 23, “Ravenbound]will be released on March 30. The corresponding platform is PC (Steam). The game supports Japanese display. In the demo version that was delivered the other day, I was able to enjoy the game in Japanese.
Ravenbound is an open world roguelite action game. The stage is the island of the fantasy world, Avart Island. The player is the “vessel” of an immortal weapon called a raven. By restoring the power of the ravens, the power of the gods will be released and order will be brought to Avarth Island.
This work is an action game developed from a third-person perspective. Attack with a sword and respond to counterattacks with defense. Or win the fight by dodging with a dodge roll. Evil creatures will try their best to defeat you, and you will accumulate power by surviving fierce battles. As a growth factor, cards are obtained by collecting magic fragments. It becomes stronger according to the card you choose. Equipping cards requires mana. The player’s build will change depending on which card is selected and equipped.
Players explore a vast world by walking or becoming a hawk. In addition, character generation is random, and a permanent death system that restarts after death is adopted. It also incorporates roguelike elements. The combat is relatively severe, and the damage of a single blow is large. There is also a need to make full use of evasion and parry, and the essence of the so-called Soulborn series is also incorporated.
Sometimes they will die after fighting. In that case, the legacy accumulates according to the result of the adventure. Consume Legacy to carefully select characters to play next, or obtain cards that can be used in the next play. Some of the circumstances of the adventure are passed on, and the experiences you have experienced before you die are somehow connected to the next. While tasting death many times, we will conquer the vast world.
The developer, Systemic Reaction, is a studio established under the Avalanche Studios Group. Avalanche Studios is the studio behind the Just Cause series. Since we have strengths in developing open world games, we have adopted an open world in this work as well. It has both rogue-like elements and soulborn elements, so it will be a very ambitious work.
“Ravenbound” is a PC (Steam) will be released on March 30. The price is said to be 29.99 dollars, and it will be about 3000 yen to 4000 yen in Japanese yen.
