RuneBound

This is the Playtest demo for RuneBound!
RuneBound is an Action-Roguelike inspired by the likes of Enter The Gungeon, Noita and Binding of Isaac. Collect Staffs, Fight Norse Inspired Enemies, Enchant your weapons with Runes, find Artifacts and create interesting builds!

This is an early demo, so currently there is no boss :(. However, feel free to replay as many times as you want! The purpose of this playtest is to get feedback for the Combat and Feel of the game, so there is a limited amount of Rooms and Items and Artifacts (This is just a vertical slice basically).

FEATURES:

• Handful of Rooms
• 1 Playable Level
• 9 Different Artifacts
• 7 Different Runes
• 5 Accessible Weapons (Lightning staff currently Unavailable)
• 5 Unique Norse Inspired Enemies
• Randomly Generated Levels
• Menu and Audio Options
• Some Sound Effects
• 2 Music Tracks
• Semi-Controller Support

CONTROLS:

WASD/Left Stick - Movement

LMB/Right Trigger - Cast Spell

Mouse/Right Stick - Aim

E/West Button - Interact

Escape/Start - Pause

R/North Button - Focus(Start Reloading)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Again, please remember that this is an early playtest demo and only partially representative of what the final product will look like, things are subject to change significantly.

In Addition, the main menu art is still in progress so there is currently a placeholder there.

Finally the Reload system. The reload system works significantly different in this game, as you do not use bullets like in Gungeon but instead Mana. Casting spells will cost a different amount depending on the staff you are using, but the time it takes to Reload (Or Focus as I'm calling it) will remain the same. Here is how Focus differs, you can cast a spell during Focus, allowing you to attack as soon as possible if necessary. However, breaking your focus will make gaining focus slower and the cost of spells will go up until you have fully recharged your focus.
Basically, you can cancel reloads to fire immediately, but it has consequence that can be resolved by fully reloading.

More Sounds, Enemies, Staffs, Rooms, Runes, Artifacts will be added in the Future as well as a boss to actually fight! But for now, I'd love to hear your feedback!
