Today, Systemic Reaction released a new trailer for its upcoming roguelite open world action game Ravenbound. The video focuses on the many monsters players will face in the upcoming title.
The biggest news, however, is the availability of a free demo as part of the Steam Next Fest, which opens today and runs until February 13th. According to the developers, you'll experience around an hour of Ravenbound content in the demo.
Francesco was able to check out a previous demo and found Ravenbound enticing.
With Ravenbound, Systemic Reaction is attempting to mix two genres with very little in common, and so far, it looks like they are succeeding. While the experience is relatively straightforward, as combat and exploration are standard fares for third-person open-world games, it already feels great to play in its current state, so I am definitely looking forward to experiencing more of Ávalt and challenging the Betrayer and its minions again when the game launches in the future.
Ravenbound, powered by the Apex Engine, will be released on PC via Steam for $29.99.
You are a Vessel to the Raven, an eternal weapon forged by imprisoned Gods. In order to free them and restore order to the island of Ávalt the Raven must rebuild its power - one vessel’s life at the time. Permadeath is a big part of Ravenbound. While each Vessel is lost forever once they fall in battle, the strength they bring to the Raven is not, allowing you to come back stronger each time.
Battle creatures inspired by Scandinavian folklore and tall tales about what happens to those who lose their way in the woods. Face off against large Trolls, ruthless Huldras and undead Draugr as you freely explore the beautiful island of Ávalt, either on foot or soaring through the skies in Raven form.
