60 of 183 · most liked firstNot very far in, but I'm genuinely confused as to what the hate is about. Seeing lots of complaints about not having a single-player mode, which is false (though the "Play With Bots" button is maybe a *little* difficult to see, and the opening menu options of "Play Online" and nothing else should maybe be reconsidered from a user experience perspective). I can charitably interpret that as wanting a mode where you don't have to collaborate with the bots' questionable AI, and if that is what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here's the deal. First ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing it says is single player followed by co-op followed by multi. Single player isn't even an option. During early access they said the full release would include it. Main menu has two options. Play multiplayer or quit game. I'm sure this isn't an issue for most people but I don't like being lied to and it's especially egregious considering as I write this review I can see it continuing to state that single player is an option. Pisses me the ♥♥♥♥ off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of bugs have made it in this 1.0 release. I patiently waited to have it released with OFFLINE support while the online match making is at best broken. No such luck. Why even PUT THE BUTTON: "PLAY ONLINE" if there is no other option? Why is it listed as Single player when that is untrue? Avoid this game. Such a shame it had Devolver as a publisher and could have used one more year in development to ship out as a finished product.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developers have announced that the most recent March patch (1.1.2) is their final planned patch and they will be only working on bug fixes for the foreseeable future. Having supported the game through early access, purchasing additional copies of the game for two friends, we have been eagerly awaiting content in the game. No such luck. Blightbound has failed to meet any expectation for a game. The in-game systems are shallow and there is virtually no progression system outside of leveling.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont let the negative reviews scare you away from this one! It might not seem like it at first but this game has pedigree. Its another diamond in the rough from Devolver. IMO its one of the more accessible indies they've picked up in the last several years of back to back bangers. Ronimo has a small list of titles, but Awesomenauts released in the glorious age of xbox live arcade and has continued to get updates to this day. In an age of $60 AAA Flops and heartless money grabs, Blightbound…

As reported by Game Developer, quoting Dutch outlet Emerce, the Utrecht-based studio reportedly filed for bankruptcy on August 22 at the Central Netherlands Court. An employee confirmed the bankruptcy on the developer's Discord server. "We got hit by a series of unfortunate events while working on our last project, and weren't able to recover despite our…
unlabelledView post →Devs abandoned this game, just like they did with Awesomenauts. However, this time they managed to do it like a speedrun, as they failed to provide support for at least one year. What an achievement, Ronimo!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Development for this has concluded. It was a potentially great game, weighed down by what seemed to be sheer neglect. I don't know if they never funded it much to begin with, or if the team was spread too thin, or whatever other variables kept them from properly making this game. What it comes down to is that this game is worth half it's asking price at best, IF you get a full party to play it with. Since it will never improve from this point onward, I recommend you never buy this game. A…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh you know the drill. Fund a game, do the least effort possible, run away with the money, screw the community, offer no refunds and watch as Steam lets you get away with it. Rule of life.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this game. Steam needs to take it off the store. The Devs have abandoned it and there are a list of bugs that make it unenjoyable to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Blightbound is an abandoned multiplayer/co-op focused ARPG, a bit like a lighter tone Diablo, with cartoony character art and the usual top down type perspective as you fight hordes of fantasy baddies using spells and swords and all that stuff. The core gameplay is okay but not great, and that's kind of the big problem, because outside of the core loop, there's not a huge amount of content. It gets repetitive really quickly. The devs were banking on a co-op experience to carry the game and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasted my money on this expecting them to add content. They did not. Unfinished and abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't get through the tutorial because the game keeps crashing. This is happening to many others as well. These issues persist despite using a high performance PC with an Nvidia RTX 3080. Disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game abandoned by developer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy. I liked the idea but when abandoning a game while aware of the issues? Hard NO.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of wasted potential. Initially promising systems were reduced or removed. Feels unfinished. Is abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good concept, but so far, poor execution. The game feels very bland very early, mostly because of cooldowned evasion/quicksteps which are relevant for a wizard teleporting away, but takes out LOTS of the tactical aspect in close combat. I would have expected a stamina bar for that. As a result, you can be a damage sponge as a warrior (who can actually use his shield as he wants to mitigate damage and get counterattack bonuses), but the rogue, while powerful, is also frustrating to play because…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did enjoy this game with friends, but not with the bots. Too bad, the game is completely dead. The game only has 3 levels and 3 area in those levels, so it is technically 9 plus the last boss level. Therefore, you will be seeing the same areas repeatedly. The bots only work from difficulty 1-8. You cannot choose the difficulty, so you have to beat an easier level for them to randomize. The last boss was extremely challenging with bots on anything higher than 5. They just do not work with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game that had a rocky launch, several rollbacks of features to please the masses, but by then the damage was done. They added bots because of the low player count, but they were never really any good. Had lots of potential, but there were just too many problems early on, and the developers basically abandoned it to move onto something else. Don't bother picking this game up.

unlabelledView post →Blightbound game progression is too slow and grindy. I've already get bored before unlocking any hero or special gears. The combat formula on each session is extremely similar due to the limitation that the team MUST contain one tank, one DPS and one mage, no exception. Even worse the game FORCE you to play through all 3 characters at the same time in order to get all required resource for the item upgrade. Also every action recharge time is long even for the normal attack, most of the time is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best enjoyed with 2 friends in local coop imo. Online Matchmaking is a bit slow. The gameplay is a Castle Crashers/Dota/Diablo Hybrid with almost "Darkest Dungeon level" graphical fidelity. On higher difficulties you really need to play your role right, on lower difficulties its almost a (easy) brawler. You can modify the way a hero operates with tons of items and skill combinations. If you are not scared away by the significant amount of grind that will be necessary for higher difficulties i…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Local co op is bugged. Half the time co op players can play together, the other local players are dropping. Difficulty is really hard, not really allowing progression as you dont get any exp if you dont complete the level.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Long abandoned. Don't go hoping to find anyone to queue with, save your money, and cut your losses.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I discovered this game late. Unfortunately, without a community playing online, it's too difficult to review what this game might have been. As a single-player, brawler-crawler, it has a very pleasing art direction, but a frustrating loop. You feel under-geared quickly, and the bot players don't help you in the slightest. They won't even stand on puzzle elements properly, at times. If you have some friends to play with, you might have fun for an evening, but you'll lack a reason to keep playing…

unlabelledView post →A good game for playing co-op (as hotseat). The only one big flaw I really don't get is that you barely can play solo: bots are too stupid and, although I love playing as caster heroes, sometimes I want to play a different hero, but it's simply inappropriate to give bots a healer role
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't typically leave reviews... but I wanted to bump up the positives for this game as it shouldn't be 'Mixed'! I want to first say - DO NOT believe the bad reviews that are saying there is no single player or couch co-op. It has both! They're just lazy naysayers lol. Yes, you have to select 'Play Online' to get to it, but before you hop in a Dungeon, you just add the other controller or "play with bots". Trust me, the ~3.5 hrs I've played consists of playing "single-player". PRO-TIP: Skip…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm obviously late to the party here, but this game seems pretty dead, unless you have two other RL friends willing to suit up with you in co-op. It's a shame, too, because the art style, combat feel, and base building are all solid, plus the whole premise seems fun and inventive (raiding the fantasy version of an irradiated wasteland, both for plunder from the old world and to rescue survivors). Alas, you pretty much have to play with bots right now, and they're awful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid Gauntlet style gameplay with beautifully drawn and animated characters. Great for couch gaming coop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cant even play this game long enough to leave a full review. It takes a very long time, upwards of hours to find teammates to play with on the US server. I can imagine this will only get worse over time unless theres some glitch preventing teammates from matching quickly. When I finally matched with teammates, the game crashed about 5 minutes into our run. Im running a a 3090, with a 5950X CPU. I should be able to run 100 instances of this game with no issues, but that is just not the case.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One more victim of the "too early to a early access", wasted all the momentum, potencial and public interest in a dragged and slow early access.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to start off that I did have fun playing the game after getting it on sale for 7.99 and I got 10hrs of enjoyment, but its hard to recommend the game because of the following: There are 21 characters to unlock, 7 in each class (warrior, assassin, mage) all with minor abilities difference. I had a fun time unlocking the characters, and they all have their own "personal quests" to unlock their full story BUT here is the problem. To unlock the full story of each character it requires alot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly shallow game. Very little content. Hardly anyone plays this game so unless you have friends to invite, you'll be matched with bots 9 times out of 10. I probably started losing interest in the game around the 4-6 hour mark but kept playing with a friend because it's one of the few coop games we both have.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2d Beat-em-up Vermintide. Very fun with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried a few hours and I just don't like it that much. Really grindy progression and nothing new in terms of world, gameplay, or anything.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With only just 9 levels and no variation coming along with increasing difficulty, Blightbound becomes grindy, repetetive and boring versy fast. Characters opf the same class are very similar so switching between different mages \ warriors \ thives helps for very short time and does not provide any incentive to run thgrough those few levels again and again to get a new character that won;t be in fact that new.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring, too bad cause the visuals are great
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The characters are bland. The locked roles suck. The A.I. both friendly and enemy are lauaghable. The loading every time you go to a new area whether its a giant room or small crypt sucks. You can max out your characters incredibly fast and then there isn't a reason to return. This all on top of it being a cartoon 2d sidescroller beatem up. Also maybe not a big deal to some but they put out a cosmetic for each class in the game where you had to go watch them on twitch to be able to get them and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i don't recommend in the state it is now, maybe will be better at full release 7h in and i feel i saw everything, gets repetitive fast, there are alot of heroes but the ones from the same classes are pretty much skins since only the passive is unique, super grindy with low quantity of maps, low enemy variety, loot also isn't interesting if they pump out more content to create variety and make the hero's more unique, might turn out to be good will update at 1.0
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like this game punishes you for wanting to stick with a play style. I haven't played for very long but the first impression comes off as "grind this game" and also make it a slog to grind this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game sucks alone, and almost nobody plays it. Too difficult to rely on bots, because the AI sucks. The different Heroes are just the same 3 base classes with 1 new skill for the most part.. and you have to level them all from scratch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great Beat-em-up RPG, it's quite close to the D&D games of the same genre but a more smoother experience rather than an arcadey one. Game is like a combination of Warframe and D&D Mystara.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In the time spent on this game so far, I would rather I could have given the game a meh rating. There's a few drawbacks the game has that prevents me from wanting to give it a positive score, yet it does not deserve a negative score either. What I liked about the game: -I like the art style and the music chosen. -Combat is simple enough, and objectives are easy enough for anyone to pick up, imo. -There's quite a few characters to play with, and I like how I can unlock them simply by playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game but the bots are HORRIBLE. Imagine the worst bot in any game that you have ever played and then magnify it by 100 If your bots get you to wipe a scenario you NEVER will level. You get trash items. BUt no leveling. Frustrating to play 20 minutes to have your healer bot not heal you your warrior not taunt and then they step in the red stuff on the ground to cause damage and die over and over. This game has promise and seems fun but you need a few friends to play. If you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOTE: There WILL be kind of spoilers in my review, so be warned. I really gave this game a chance, but it's just not good at this moment, it needs a lot of extra polishing before I could confidently say that this game deserves a recommendation from me. First, the cons: - Interesting 3-player concept synergy idea - A larger amount of items to choose from to try and have a different playstyle for different situations/dungeons - The artwork is very very nicely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's got it's issues not going to lie, the art factor is pretty decent but the lack of finding a single person to auto group find with is what will be one of the lackluster things to kill this game on steam - maybe on console it'll do better. Lot of bugs in it that's for sure, like when the game decides it wants to run or not and if you do the "fix" that you can find googling it well that will just make it stutter. The bots are dumb as rock and you have to use them since as stated above the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun game. Abandoned at this point, but developers have been transparent about it, even posting about known bugs and workarounds they have discovered. I would only recommend the game IF you have 2 other friends to play with.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a bit sad this game has such a bad reputation and mixed reviews. It may not be perfect, nor does it have the highest replay value. However, its constantly on massive sales for roughly three bucks. And for THAT its a great co-op experience. I saw many reviews complain that this game isnt solo-friendly. After almost 20 hours i can say, that the bots are pretty good and playing solo isnt really an issue. It just isnt really fun. But the real bread and butter is playing with friends. The game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool art style but balance is trash, and it better to play solo because the bots have best gear on. 9 maps with auto scale difficulty to play but nothing changes when replaying them,plus 1 more after 20+hours
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty fun with 2 friends. a lot of variety in a combo stuff/skill for every character. pretty hard until you find a good combo of characters too. love it. no bug for all 3 friends within 7hours a row of game. don't hear all others. there is no bug et if you have two friends and love coop game. it's a very good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a brilliant game... that nobody plays. Tons of potential that won't be realized because you can't get onto a team via matchmaking. I hope the devs regroup on this one and revive it. I tried!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really dig the aesthetics of the game and the overall mood. And I want to spend a lot of time in this grim world, fighting disfigured monstrosities alongside my friends, but! Negatives: 1. Not enough locations/missions: there are 3 hubs, each with 3 missions. Which gives 9 missions in total, and that's it. You will play them over and over (because it's a grindy kind of game). 9 missions doesn't sound that bad, but they share big part of the biome, so efectively each mission is 60% the same…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Same problems that were at version 0.5. Disconnects, game crashes without errors, me and my friends has postpone game until it released, and what? Same ♥♥♥♥, same buggy game as it was. For example we encountered challenging mist event , cleared it, and after we came out of the portal none of abilities dealt damage to monsters or crates, so, mission failed. After that we had some more disconnect problems. STILL NO WAY TO RETURN INTO THE GAME if some1 disconnected which is just stupid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the 5 minutes I actually got to play after it crashed 2 seconds into the tutorial...then it crashed again... the opening cutscene is unskippable and I didn't feel like watching it a 3rd time. From what others are saying, the game also crashes in multiplayer. Good idea, bad execution. Wait for a couple patches.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Repetitive, lame, not a good game.
