Lootbound

I went into Lootbound expecting a simple dungeon crawler, but what I got was a brilliantly layered tactical experience. The turn-based combat is tense and methodical—every move counts, and positioning, cooldowns, and dice rolls keep you on edge. What really hooks you, though, is the loot system: epic gear isn't just about bigger numbers; it changes how your entire party functions. Recruiting new allies mid-run feels meaningful, and their unique abilities force you to adapt on the fly. The dark fantasy atmosphere is thick with dread, and the procedural events add wonderful narrative spice. Yes, difficulty spikes can catch you off guard, but that's part of the charm—it never feels unfair, just punishing in a way that makes victory taste sweeter. If you're a fan of XCOM or Darkest Dungeon, this one will eat your weekends. Highly recommended.

I have my share of complaints, but the main one is that there are items you can get that disappear after 5 battles or so. I don't see any logical reason for doing something like this, especially if that item was also locked behind a high difficulty class dice roll. If it's for some sort of balancing reason, then just... make the item a little less powerful or something? Why make an equipment piece temporary? It feels so much less enticing to go after, and less rewarding than just having something permanent. And then you literally lose the reward. So what was the point? Otherwise the gameplay is fun. It's a bit challenging at the start, but it's still manageable to get at least decent progress before dying, in my experience. I imagine the permanent upgrades make this much, much easier. It's still early on, so the game will have its issues, but I still recommend it overall, IF... and this is a BIG IF... IF you don't mind having to roll a die for some of your loot and upgrades. Roguelikes and their RNG, sure, but the way this one is designed, you can chase the chests and the blacksmith gems and whatever else you want and just get... nothing. It never feels good to get nothing.

Сначала думал, что это будет просто ещё один пошаговый рогалик про лут, но игра довольно быстро показала собственную фишку. Раздельная экипировка героя и компаньонов делает каждый хороший предмет интересным, потому что его ценность зависит не только от главного персонажа. Лут нельзя оценивать в вакууме. Иногда предмет со скромными цифрами полезнее эпического, потому что идеально встаёт в сетку и включает нужную ауру.

Really fun game with a great mix of loot, exploration, and progression. The gameplay feels satisfying, and there’s always something new to discover. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy this genre!

В этой игре нет "стратегии", ты полностью зависим от рандома во множестве моментов. Это полностью убивает интерес. Очень слабый проект.

I absolutely love the core concept! The foundation of the game is incredibly strong. Like some other players have mentioned, I've noticed that RNG currently plays a massive role but game opens up quite a bit after completing your first run . It would be amazing to see a bit more room for player skill to shine through the randomness.

amazing game for not even 10 euros.
