You take control of Vessels, warriors with great potential and the ability to transform into a Raven for speedy travel around the vast open world. Plagued by the powers of Hatred, Ávalt is a realm in need of a hero.
Based on Scandinavian folklore – not Norse mythology, as the developers are quick to reinforce – Ravenbound takes place in the land of Ávalt. It follows the roguelike template of games like Zombi and Rogue Legacy, where each time you die you’ll respawn as a completely new character, but retain some of the skills and gear you unlocked in your last incarnation. Sometimes, the cracks begin to show in its shiny façade. While that sounds damming, I only said “struggles” for the most part it manages to bear that weight. Ravenbound, from Systemic Reaction, is a game that struggles with the weight of its own ambition.
