Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 23 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
War for supremacy raged on for generations between the different tribes of Ashmyr. Until one day, an ancient force was unleashed that shook the world and granted those nearby immense power. But this power came at a high cost. It took their minds and corrupted their bodies, leaving only a ruthless fiend in their place.
They became known as the Ilcyon, slaughtering armies and obliterating towns as they ravaged the lands, leaving Ashmyr in peril.
Until a new path to hope was formed by a lone warrior. He united the tribes for the sake of survival against the Ilcyon and began a new order, The Bound. Only those proven through years of harsh training were initiated.

Reviews
Bound by Blades is a boss-rush action RPG in which three young warriors trained by the hero Eldras hunt the Ilion, monsters created by a curse. The short campaign spans a prologue in the destroyed village of Tumbra and a journey to the haven of Fangsfair Castle. The combat is the core of the experience, with quick attacks, charge attacks, blocking and reflecting projectiles against each Ilion boss. The fights stay quick and easy to redo, and the combat becomes properly satisfying once the gear is upgraded. The soundtrack is a genuine highlight, with the music repeatedly called "pretty good" and "cool" across several fights. The stun system and the big damage numbers from charged attacks make each victory feel earned. The story punches above its weight, with a mystery around its mentor figure and a charming cast, especially Timber. The ending ties the campaign's themes of legacy and growth together. The rank system is the biggest frustration, since the best ranks demand hitless fights and the chase can become obsessive. Some hitboxes are janky, with dodged attacks still landing, and the level-up stat gains are tiny. Crafting, enchanting and the Mythos pet system add welcome depth between hunts, from feeding and levelling the pet to sending it on timed missions. The enchant results are pure RNG, and the pet's mission failures can sting, but the systems keep the loop varied. Overall, the boss design is solid and the combat stays fun throughout, while the short length keeps it from overstaying its welcome. It is fairly basic, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

[h2]《與好朋友一起組成兄弟會吧!》[/h2] 如果你是想找一款與朋友一起連線遊玩的單機合作遊戲,這款遊戲非常適合,不過建議折扣購入。 遊戲稍微有一點農,而且Boss關卡也不是很多,很快就體驗完了,剩下的頂多挑戰BossEX難度版。 [b]●連線[/b] 連線機制目前很穩定,通關前三個關卡的Boss到達大城市就可以與朋友連線了,流程大約10~20分鐘。 [b]●戰鬥[/b] 遊戲戰鬥採關卡制魔王戰,戰鬥的上手難度不高。 玩家只能透過四個角落的格子來進行出擊,藉由移動以及閃躲按鍵來迴避敵人的攻擊。如果覺得難度很高這款遊戲也有難度選擇的模式,不用怕自己打不過。 遊戲一共有三個角色可供選擇,每個角色都有自己獨特的設計,三個角色我都特別喜歡,動物們超可愛。 [b]●其他機制[/b] 這款遊戲比較農的部分在於他每一個Boss都有自己的專屬裝備,如果你要將所有裝備都收集齊全勢必得要重複刷好幾次,就這樣重複著打新Boss→刷個材料做新裝備→挑戰新Boss的SOP,不過體驗上還挺不錯的,也不是這麼糟。 [b]■結尾[/b] 整體來說是挑不出什麼毛病的遊戲,聽評論說剛推出的時候似乎Bug很多,但目前體驗下來沒什麼大問題,可能都經過補丁修復了了。 總而言之,如果不是對於畫面非常挑剔想要玩一款小品遊戲的玩家,這款遊戲是不錯的選擇,與朋友一起打打怪也是挺快樂的。
I'm divided. Gameplay is fun, art is super pretty, world is interesting, and crafting/gathering materials looks compelling, but the lack of visual feedback in EVERYTHING is killing me. Buttons, crafting, equipping, quests, leveling up; the game is super bad at telling me when something happened/what will happen if I press a button, or where I'm supposed to go and what I'm supposed to do. It's confusing at first, and frustrating after a while.
Bastante interesante el tipo de combate me gusto un montón, si tengo que describirlo seria "la esencia de Monster Hunter ultra simplificada", a pesar que no dure mucho el juego cuesta muchísimo mas de lo que he pagado, buena recomendación
Couldn't get invested in it.
Very fun
神ゲーです。ただマルチをしたくて買ったのにマルチのやり方がわかりませんでした。
Very short game. It also has timers on pet missions despite being a single player game.
4块钱 能盾反!能幻化!刷刷刷...要什么自行车
4.6买了玩玩还是很不错的
