13 itemsAbout the Game
Ravenbound is a fast-paced action game that combines the challenge of a roguelite with the choices of the open world. Master your combat skills, build your deck and beat the Betrayer in the mystic world of Ávalt.
Grow stronger with every death
You are a vessel in the service of the Raven who you help to restore its power in an effort to free the imprisoned gods of Ávalt. While each vessel is lost forever once they fall in battle, the strength they bring to the Raven is not. This allows you to come back stronger each time as you progress through this action roguelite.
Explore a fantasy world inspired by Scandinavian Folklore
Journey through the breathtaking island of Ávalt on foot or soar through the skies in Raven form. As you traverse this mysterious, Scandinavian-folklore inspired world, you will confront legendary creatures such as the towering Trolls, ruthless Hulders, and menacing undead Draugr.
Build your deck to beat the Betrayer
Progression comes in the form of cards and unlocks that you can find on your journey through Ávalt. In each lifetime new cards are unlocked, some by chance and some by player choice. As you grow stronger, so do the rewards. But be careful, each reward also increases the Betrayer's hatred which empowers her minions as it grows.
Learn to master the varied and fast paced combat
Learn to master the fast paced and fluid combat of Ravenbound to bring down the increasingly challenging and hostile creatures of Ávalt. By unlocking more cards you will expand your options as new armor, weapons and magical relics become available to you, granting you new ways to defeat the Raven's enemies with every lifetime.
