Provided, that is, that they temper their expectations and can overlook the game's sometimes messy mechanics and other shortcomings. But at less than 30 bucks, it's maybe worth a gamble for fans of open world RPGs and action roguelikes. Systemic Reaction, a creative division of Avalanche Studios Group, built on their expertise from creating vast open worlds and fast-paced action to merge it into the roguelite experience in a new fantasy world. No matter the price, it's still derivative, janky and in serious need of optimization and bug fixes. About This Game Ravenbound is a fast-paced action game that combines the challenge of a roguelite with the choices of open world. + by Jarrett Green Posted April 4, 2023, 3:50 a.m. If Ravenbound was a full-price, triple-A game I'd be a lot less forgiving of its flaws. PROS: Engaging art style and detail-rich game environment, Interesting gameplay combination makes for a varied game, High-quality soundtrack made by popular. A promising roguelike thats grounded by obtuse systems, frustrating loot, and lots of bugs. Ravenbound's limited successes do not come from an abundance of new ideas, but combining or juxtaposing old ones. The question is whether Ravenbound's patchwork quilt of borrowed game ideas is a warm and cozy comforter or a threadbare blanket. Every game largely iterates on other titles in its genre. While it aims to combine many elements in an original way, it's hard to ignore that a lot of those elements are familiar. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Systemic Reaction's new action roguelite RPG Ravenbound is flattering the hell out of a lot of recent games.
