Description

Deathbound is a one-of-a-kind party-based soulslike set in a callous world where Faith and Science clash. The forbidden city of Akratya is an unforgiving land that cannot be conquered alone. Bind with fallen warriors found throughout your crusade and dynamically transform between the characters seamlessly mid-combat with the unique 4-hero party system.



The fallen are individual characters with their own unique skill sets, combat styles, and rich history. By absorbing their essence, you inherit the fiber of their very being. The characters' conflicts and synergies greatly impact gameplay, so relationships must be balanced. Strong synergies may offer combat buffs that can spell disaster for the ruthless boss awaiting your steel and magic.

Throughout combat, you will charge a sync meter shared across all the characters. During an opportune moment, dispel your sync meter and unleash a devastating Morphstrike using the combined power of the bound fallen warriors. When faced with a formidable abomination, a precisely executed Morphstrike can be the deciding factor between life and death



The world of Deathbound has been lovingly crafted and influenced by the developer’s homeland of Brazil, a vibrant culture brimming with life, creativity, rhythm, and a rich history. From the Afro-Brazilian martial art of Capoeira to the sweeping music cascading through Akratya, TrialForge’s origins shine throughout every aspect of Deathbound.




Gain the skills, memories and identities of fallen warriors throughout the world. Combine their unique personalities and combat styles and switch between them seamlessly.


The essences you absorb form your party. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows players to craft a playstyle through talent trees. Seamlessly switch between fallen warriors to harness their skills and abilities. Each party member’s affiliation in life will affect their synergy in death.


Unleash the combined powers of fallen warriors with devastating Morphstrikes. Utilize different attack styles to pull-off powerful combinations and finishing blows to defeat all who oppose you.


Ziêminal is a world that mixes a technological past and a medieval present, home to diverse cultures. The city of Akratya is rich in lore and dangers. Explore a city falling into ruin under the shadow of a grand crusade. From the body-filled streets to arenas and places of worship. With its imposing brutalist architecture and melding of technology, it’s a city bound for oblivion.


Face challenging enemies crafted 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 dare face them.

Pleasant surprise.

I must say that i am having a ton of fun, the world is great, the occult postapo setting is my cup of black coffee. Game looks decent, you can see its not AAA title but still holds up great, it moves good too, also not great but still really good and the controlls and combat are great. Sharp, snappy and reactive as it should be. Rpg elements and more of a brawler than souls like is actually really good fit for this game. Be sure to give it a try for even full price . If its in sale, its a must buy i would say. Have fun.

Finally "souls" as in more than one soul

Tl;dr it's a good time, go for it. This game is a refreshing take on the Soulslike genre, adding the Morph mechanic that turns the game into an interesting experience. The studio is a clearly talented crew with good imagination, good ideas on what makes a good level, good enemy placement, and how to combine player actions to make some fun interactions mid-combat. The narrative is dense and loaded with concepts that got me reading item descriptions and, in the end, got me hooked into this neo-gothic sci-fi-ish dark fantasy world that hangs between death and immortality. If only they got more time to better flesh out these concepts through exploration and character's memories. But it feels a bit short, as if the studio left room for further experimentation. The morphing mechanic is at the same time a really fun power trip and it turns some of the most tense encounters too easy for my taste. The only truly difficult fight was the very last one, which had me thinking on how could a hard-but-fair area with a full roster ready to morph to their heart's content would play. Maybe the expansion will give me the answer.
