Wraithbinder (tuxdb.com)

Wraithbinder is an Action Roguelike game with gated Metroidvania progression. Each run you play through a randomly-generated dungeon while building a new sequence of weapons and abilities. Each new ability allows you to progress past a new type of obstacle in the world. When you die, you lose some of your gold and light but keep your armor and stats. Play offline / solo, online co-op or online PvP.
Some abilities and weapons you can find:

Sword
Axe
Bow
Boomerang
Grenades
Bombs
Charge (charge up your blade for an explosive attack)
Boots (run fast)
Blink (teleport forward a few steps)
Jump
Levitate
Shield
Wraithbinding (Necromancy)
Skybot (Build buildings)
Telekinesis
Fire
Ice
Lightning
Acid

Do you have what it takes to become a Wraithbinder? (That sounded a bit cliche, didn't it? Let's try that again...)
One Wraithbinder to rule them all; One Wraithbinder to bind them. (Sorry. This needs work...)

Thanks for Playing the Beta

Thanks for playing the Wraithbinder beta! Over the last two weeks, your feedback was instrumental in making this a more exciting and playable video game.

What Was Accomplished

You mentioned the game was a bit boring without an initial attack ability and dedicated dodge ability. This was improved in the Punch & Dodge Update .

Later, you mentioned that combat could be a bit button-mashey without any indicators that an enemy was about to attack. This was improved in the Combat Precision Update .

In addition to these main topics, nearly 70 other things were improved over the course of the beta thanks to your feedback. There are many things left on my list still to be done and I will tackle them in a prioritized manner.

What is to Come

While the play test is now finished and will soon no longer be playable, I have plans to bring it back multiple times before Early Access launch sometime in 2023. For news on this, please wishlist and follow Wraithbinder .

The general plan is thus:

1. Improve the game using your remaining feedback
2. Run another Play Test or Demo
3. Gather and prioritize your feedback
4. Repeat

Thanks again, person!
