Bound by Flame (X360)

Bound by Flame, the most ambitious RPG yet from Spiders Studios (Mars: War Logs, Of Orcs and Men), launches its official website!

Here you'll find everything you need to know about the game, its gameplay mechanics, the tactical and dynamic combat system, the story background and characters, and you'll also learn about the importance of the human/demon duality – a dilemma the hero will have to face on his quest.

In Bound by Flame, you'll play as a mercenary possessed by a fire demon. As victims of the demonic influence, players will have to choose whether to accept the power offered by their host or preserve their humanity and focus instead on heroic traits.

Enemies and dangers, growing ever more terrifying and ferocious, will tempt you to gain more abilities by selling part of the hero's soul to the demon. The progress of the demonic influence will be reflected on the hero's body.

Depending on the player's choices and the demonic influence, some chapters will have a different scenario and offer a different experience, adding to the game's replayability. The real-time combat is impressive and dynamic.

If the player starts the game with only a basic knowledge of combat, fire magic and killing, they'll be able to specialise by unlocking and upgrading numerous abilities from 3 different development branches. In Bound by Flame, players can customise their character to their liking.

While creating their hero, players will be able to choose their gender and facial features. This will of course also affect the hero's demonic influence. Bound by Flame also features a crafting system that allows you to create and upgrade equipment, including armour and weapons.

Several companions will also join the player on their quest, and depending on their actions, relationships with them can develop into friendship, love or hatred. The bestiary of Bound by Flame is also immense.

Players will have to face many impressive creatures: shadow dragons, deathshead moths, undead, ice creatures… epic clashes await you around every corner. Which path will you take? Will you crave demonic power and magic to burn your enemies with flame, or will you prefer combat skills and valour?
