Inkbound

Fun little roguelike with great progression, interesting variety, and a good skill ceiling. Fantastic production and presentation.

One of the best games I have played. The game progression, build variability and pure joy of gameplay. If only this game got proper updates or dlc it would have been best.

I didn't read a word of quest dialogue I dislike the graphical style Still a 9/10 game. Fantastic tactical multiplayer roguelite. I really hope it gets more traction, I'd love to see a sequel

Great tactical roguelike, with a lot of room skill expression both in turn-to-turn planning and assembling your build over the run. It plays well at any player count - the simultaneous play during the player phase flows well, but is definitely best with friends who you can chat, coordinate, and synergize with. My husband and I were consistently discussing every element of our runs, from the builds and relics to the turn-by-turn combat strategies, moreso than any other game in the "multiplayer roguelike" field that we've tried, even Slay the Spire 2. Light recommend solo, strong recommend with your best friend. :)

Inkbound was honestly way more refreshing than I expected. There are enough different systems working together that the game actually feels unique, and more importantly, it gives you a reason to keep running it again. The combat is probably the biggest thing for me. Positioning actually matters. I've had fights that looked completely unwinnable until I moved a few things around, changed where I was standing, and suddenly the whole fight swung back in my favor. The upgrade path is also really solid. It feels like no two runs play exactly the same, and none of the characters really feel like copies of each other. The pathing through each run is another thing I really like. You'll hit those moments where you have to decide: Do I go this way for talents? Do I go grab health? Do I split the difference and try to get a little of both? Those decisions actually feel important. The graphics are great too. No complaints there. Now for the stuff that started wearing on me. The maps. Oh goodness, the maps. You get what feels like 4 or 5 main areas and after a while you start seeing the same stuff over and over again. The mobs also get pretty predictable. Throw something weird at …

I didn't give this game a real shot the first time I played, but now that I learned the systems, it's so good that I'm sad no one plays it, since it's co-op...
