Deathbound demo now available for PS5

A demo for dynamic single-player party-based Soulslike action RPG Deathbound is now available for PlayStation 5 via PlayStation Store, publisher Tate Multimedia and developer Trialforge Studio announced.

The demo was previously released for PC via Steam.

Here is an overview of the game, via Tate Multimedia:

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 characters seamlessly in mid-combat with the unique four-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. Conflicts and synergies between characters 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 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.

Deathbound is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG on August 8.
