Hello, PlayStation.Blog readers! This is Walid, producer at Spiders Studio. I’m very proud to tell you about Spiders’ latest game, and our first RPG for PS4, Bound by Flame. We plan to launch on May 9th for PS3 and PS4.
Today, we decided we’d focus a little more on the game’s combat and show off some PS4 footage for the first time.
This video is brand new and 100% pure gameplay — nothing pre-rendered — and should give you a little taste of the combat before we debut an epic combat trailer that covers all the combat mechanics and fighting styles. You’ll catch a glimpse of all the possibilities Bound by Flame offers in combat: Stealth, crossbow, fireballs, and a two-handed axe and hammer.
In Bound by Flame, the combat system lets you instantly switch between three stances (Fighter, Ranger, and Pyromancer), allowing you to adapt to the enemy you’re facing on the fly. We also showcase some of the creatures you’ll be fighting. There’s a lot of them out there, and each has its own characteristics and tendencies in combat.
The array of weapons in Bound by Flame offers a large number of possibilities. Will you smash your foes with a hammer, slice and dice with an axe or sword, or go sneaky with double daggers and long-range weapons? Or will you unleash the power of the demon and become a fearless pyromancer?
And if you want more info about the game, don’t hesitate to visit the official website or the official Facebook Page.
I’ll stop by sometime to answer comments, so if you have any questions, just ask!
It’s my birthday!!! This is beyond awesome!!!!!
You have my attention.
This looks really good. I like how the weaker enemies lose balance and fall over when you kick them. The graphics look great as well. It’s great to see that troll get burned and react to getting burned. Can you tell me how long in hours it will take me to finish the game? Is there just a main quest or are there side quests as well? Do you support Vita Remote Play for the PS4 version? Looking forward to picking this up on D1. Thanks for your hard work!
It’s around 30h gameplay to complete the game once – and of course there’ll be multiple side quests. But depending on your choices, you can unlock different endings, and live a different story. You indeed have a flame demon living inside you, that will always push you to make evil decisions. This will have an impact on the story, on the relashionship with your companions… and also on your combat style – the demon will lend you its powerful pyromancer skills. So I hope you’ll enjoy replaying the game, making different choices to see all the endings, and also to try all the specificities of each combat style and weapon.
