Inkbound Reviews

The combat in Coop is really fun, and its worth playing for this reason. Could really do with some more enemy variety though, you end up fighting the same encounters over and over with no meaningful changes. The story is pretty incomprehensible and I ended up ignoring it.

Literally my favorite game of all time. It's got a low skill floor but huge skill expression. Lots of interesting builds and abilities. Combat is fair, and its fun to focus on any aspect (movement, burst damage, sustained damge, tankiness, buffs)! Learning the best builds is great and climbing the difficulty ranks is extremely satisfying.

This is actually a really fun game and very multiplayer. Not sure what people's issues are.

Starts out fun and interesting, but gets boring and repetitive VERY quickly. Not nearly enough variety present for a roguelike to keep things fresh.

Absolutely gutted that the devs stopped active development. The unexplored potential of this game's mechanics will be one of my biggest gaming what-ifs. Despite this, I have to give the game it's flowers. Totally unique 3D turn-based combat. Well-thought out co-op (you don't have wait to take turns). Deep itemization and skill options augment your character's base kit as they are presented to you over the course of a session. Roguelite metaprogression.

Hello There! i must first say that i have a few devs i follow because they are the best devs in my opinion on each genre for Rogue Like games i love the work of Shiny Shoe, in my opinion they manage to do very complex system for rogue likes that you just don't get bored of trying new things, i first started with Monster Train in that game i have wasted hundred of hours and even after unlocking everything i still enjoy playing the game thats a sign of a good rogue like game, by the way if you have not play Monster Train i demand you do. alright putting that out of the way there is one more thing i must say before talking about INKBOUND, i must warn you before we continue INKBOUND development as been halted and there is no plan for future content because poor monetization in short they didn't earn enough to keep a live service going, however the servers will remain up and your free to play what they got, DO NOT THINK the game is not fun or worth playing because of this i would STILL recommend it and i will get why shortly. INKBOUND Combat is very interesting it is a turn base combat game you can move freely in the area of movement you can pick from 8 different classes which each one have one passive and three ability's which can EVOLVE and be UPGRADED plus 2 extra slots for 2 ability's you can pick while playing and can be upgraded and evolve as well, making a total of 5 active skills you can use and a ton of combinations because of the evolution of ability's that change how they work, if thats not enough you also have 2 slot for consumable objects one time use each and also you can select 1 trinket of a total of 21 trinkets you select one at the start of the game and this allow you to add some interest effects or boost 1 atribute lets say fire and assure you that you will get fire spells more often, if that not enough you also have 7 slots for unique artifacts you can find while in each run that will either boost stats or add different effects or triggers, you thought that was all? nope~ each artifact haves 1 or 2 attributes and you can destroy the artifact to duplicate the attribute on your stats and this works like in auto-chess it gives bonuses when you reach x amount of stats on each one. now combine all of that as a base for combat it makes the game very interesting and it haves a TON of replay ability because of that now the interesting twist is that is Single-player OR Co-op up to 4 people and considering that each class plays very differently to each other there is a lot of combinations and fun to be had even if there is no new content you will be having a lot of fun and that's more or less why i think it's still worth playing even if there is no future content in the near future.

This is a really neat game idea as it combines interesting turn-based gameplay with multiplayer. There are several different classes you can play with, various ways to play said classes, and lots of synergy to be had when playing with other people. The game also comes on for fairly high discounts, although this is due to the developers announcing that they have ceased development on the game. Despite this game not having much of a future, it is definitely a decent game to play with a friend, and/or just to experience the melding of roguelike gameplay with multiple people.

Excellent Co-op turn based roguelike. Really encourages planning and cooperating with your friends - not just playing next to them. 20 difficulty tiers allows you to pick how relaxing or stressful you want your run to be as you climb up them. There are some negative reviews about this game no longer being updated. I'm totally cool with that because guess what, it's not a live service game. They made a decision early in development to remove the cash shop, so i bear no grudges. Even though i'd love more updates, The game feels complete as is, and hope their next game is fun too. This is not a live service game, don't treat it like it. Pros -fun, intuitive Gameplay -Customizable faces -Fun, old style, almost 2010 era flash game graphics -reminds me of the good times of spiral knights, that i wish dearly -you can make any build work on any character even at the highest difficulties. Some characters lean towards some synergies more than others, but you really can make anything work well if you know how to build it. -good variety in builds -Difficulty scales with # of players Middle - Lots of achievement grinding for the story, if you enjoy it - Story is... hard to pay attention to. It's easy to skip, it's there if you want it, easy to skip if you don't. - Did i mention the quests and story are massive? Only do these if you Want to. Don't get burned out on it. - Between-run grind for power isn't important. You can get in and go without paying attention to it and not worry about being lower power. Cons - LIke all roguelikes, it will get repetitive eventually. - could use more enemy variety. - extremely long grind to unlock the final boss(s)? I'm still working on it! Overall this game is fun to solo or with friends, and allows you to either take it easy or crank up the difficulty. if you like achievement hunting, this is great for you, but if you don't, you dont really lose anything by not working on them. the between-runs grind isn't very important for success.

very nice and fun game where builds can get really janked. Don't trust the recent review bombing as the game is finished, has a full story and it's worth it to do a couple of runs whenever you feel like it, and it's cool to play with friends

This game is a completely solid, fleshed out and expansive experience and is a complete product. The devs announced the game was “done” and for some reason people are saying that means it’s “abandoned” ??? Is Nintendo putting out updates to super mario bros on the NES ? Extreme example but same principle… why must a dev support a game for the rest of eternity. The game is not unfinished, it does not feel unfinished, and it does not feel like it’s missing anything. There is plenty to unlock. It does not feel buggy, it does not crash. It’s a great game
