While part of Spiders Studio’s team finishes development of Mars War Logs, releasing soon on digital distribution platforms, we are pleased to unveil Bound by Flame. Bound by Flame is their bigger project, under development for months now and targeted for release on PC, PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360® at the end of 2013.

We present Bound by Flame to you with the very first screenshot of the game. This action/role-playing game lets you play a mercenary possessed by a flame demon in an ambitious Dark Fantasy universe.

As a victim of this demonic influence, players will have to choose between the powers offered by this evil or to reject the demonic influence, developing heroic talents instead. Dangers, and enemies becoming more terrifying and fearsome in battle, will be temptations to acquire more power by giving up part of the hero’s soul to the demon. Progression of the demonic influence will be reflected by the transformation of the hero’s body.

Through its different chapters, Bound by Flame will offer many quests around a primary, epic adventure. Depending on the choices made by the player and the influence of the demon, some chapters will offer different scenarios and a different experience, adding important replayability to the game. Real-time battles are impressive and dynamic. If the player begins the game knowing only the basics of combat, fire magic, and assassination, he will be able to specialize by unlocking and improving many skills and powers, through 3 different skill trees.

Bound by Flame lets the players customize their character. During the creation of their hero, players will be able choose their gender and freely alter their facial characteristics. This will of course have an influence on the demon’s appearance. Bound by Flame also includes a crafting system, allowing them to create and improve equipment, including their armor and weapons. Several companions will join the player during his quest, and will, depending on the player’s actions, develop friendship, romance or rivalry.

Finally, the bestiary of Bound by Flame is rich and spectacular. Today’s screenshot introduces you to the terrifying Swamp Beast, but you will get to fight many other impressive creatures: shadow dragons, liches, undead, ice creatures… epic confrontations abound. Which path will the players take? Will they lust after the demon’s power and magic to annihilate their foes, or will they favor their combat skills and their bravery?

Bound by Flame is targeted for release on PC, PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360® at the end of 2013.

PS3 and XBOX 360 -- omg, so last gen.

 

[Mother Russia]

Sounds awesome for an action game with rpg elements. This could even be better than Dork Souls.

 

[Excidium]

Looks like shit.

 

[abnaxus]

New trailer

 

[Excidium]

Looks like shit.

 

[A user named cat]

"Looks like shit" is an understatement.

 

[Kanedias]

A shame, I thought it could be some sort of decent Dark Souls clone, but the gameplay looks incredibly linear, boring, and shallow. Oh well.

 

[Borelli]

Wait, so the character cannot strafe walk only jump? That's lame man.

I hated objectives in linear games from the moment i first played quake 2. And this game looks linear.

Love the knee strike on charge tho.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Looks like some kind of bad aRPG/Fighting sim.

Shit.

 

[Visperas]

Yeah, I also hoped it would have Dark Souls combat. Dat minimap.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Yeah, I also hoped it would have Dark Souls combat. Dat minimap.

That style of mini-map is the clearest cut-signs of a Consolefied game.

 

[ghostdog]

Typical a"rpg" popamole shovelware. This shit has been pouring out like crazy lately. Same shit as Blood Knights and Demonicon.

 

[racofer]

Looks like some kind of bad aRPG/Fighting sim.

Shit.

 

[The Last Blackguard]

Well, we've reached the end of 2013, and no word.

And yeah, looks like shit.

 

[abnaxus]

Focus Entertainment is a small Euro publisher that has no budget for a marketing campaign.

 

[Horus]

They shouldn't started shitty Action game on console then? Competition is fierce between turds of that genre.

They might get most sales on console.

New video:

 

[abnaxus]

I want to be a demon.

 

[vazha]

If its anything like Of Orcs and Men & Game of Thrones RPG, it will at least have a cool story and tactical combat, so stop whining about "dis game iz shit, I wontid a dork souls clone"

 

[theSavant]

Looks like shi... ehrr.... I mean: looks like a superawesome game (for kids) who want to play the good hero under the cover of a (pseudo) bad-ass appearance with Jap-RPG style NPC girls as companions.

 

[Excidium]

Looks exactly like that game being made by the ex-cdpotato guy

 

[hiver]

Looks like shit.

Trailer is hilariously stupid. I almost thought they are joking but - no.

- did notice how camera swings over tits and ass of the "romantic companion". So fucking stupid...

 

[Avellion]

This game looks incredibly generic, the plot, the setting, the gameplay, the existance of a crafting system, all so ugh... been there done that.

But hey, the skill trees are unique, inspired and totally never seen before.

Spoiler

Fighter, Ranger, Pyromancer. You know the classes are bad when Mass Effect's classes seem more inspired than this shit.

 

[hiver]

The announcing voice was funny. I thought it was something ironic but nope, its actually serious. But how they say combat will be hard (at RPS) was especially hilarious.

its just to make morons think they are hard core gamers for winning in "combat" with zillion super cinematic special effects porn "attacks"


And youre a DEEMOOON TOO and you splurge saliva over hot chicks!!!

that romance sequence should go into most hilarious list - first tits, then ass - then SLOBERSPLURFGLBLHHHBLLFRRRFFFF!
