Combat Teaser

Greetings Wanderers,

No matter the belief, creed, or position, we all answer to the power of Steel and Magic. Today, during Realms Deep 2023, we’ve shared a brief combat teaser for Deathbound. Wield the strength uncovered from the heart of the fallen warriors, and overcome the horrors found across the world of Ziêminal.

Ziêminal and the great city of Akratya is crawling with callous fiends and cutthroat bosses who will push you to the limits. Binding with the fallen warriors discovered throughout the crusade will be crucial if you have any hope of survival within the vile and dangerous city of Akratya.

Craft catered playstyles by dynamically transforming between the characters discovered across Ziêminal. The fallen warriors provide the opportunity for players to adapt to the many perilous situations they will find themselves in. The teaser provides a sneak peek of the dynamic combat gameplay.

Bare arms as Therone, the zealous crusader of Goddess Death. Become a force of nature as Agharos while swinging his earth-shattering hammer. When traditional sword-and-shield isn’t enough, call upon Olivia and rain lightning down onto your foes. A keen eye may catch a brief glimpse at the devastating Morphstrikes during the teaser as well. Morphstrikes are executed by combining the absorbed essences of fallen warriors. On the brink of death, a precise Morphstrike can spell victory against an unyielding enemy.

Zieminal Scrolls #1

Greetings Wanderers,

Today, we come to you with the first scroll unveiling the lore of the dark world we've meticulously crafted for you. Gather the initial fragments of knowledge about the world's history.

The world of Zieminal was once home to an advanced technological civilization of immortal human beings. They built vast cities and unlocked wonders of science. Immortality allowed a rapid advance of knowledge, but there was also a rapid increase in population. Everything suddenly changed, when mortality became the new human condition. Humankind was not prepared. Then, many years passed, and the survivors, thrown again into the Dark Ages, erected a new, medieval civilization, based on primitive technology, feudalism, and religious piety.

The main opposing forces in Deathbound are guided by faith in two Goddesses: Life and Death. Their worshipers led by their strong beliefs created two conflicting factions named the Church of Death and Cult of Life, and each of them carried the symbol of their powerful faith.

The dominant faith in Zieminal is made of fanatics who persecute anyone who does not follow their creed. Catena is the main symbol of the Church. It leads the way through the bloody streets of Akratya and proudly marks the attires of those devoted to Death. The chain symbolizes the indisputable binding to Her of every soul.

[h3]Cult of Life
[/h3]
An uneasy alliance of many organizations. Cult tries to resist the oppression of the Church of Death. Kolpila is the symbol of the Goddess Life. An allusion to cis women's vulva, which is considered the origin of the world. It is widely donned by Essencemancers - worshippers of the Goddess of Life - in their quest to bring immortality back to humankind at all costs.

Screenshots Explained

Greetings Wanderers,

We thought we would come to you today with a presentation of screenshots from the world of Zieminal and tell you a little more about what you can see in them. We're really keen to explain to our players the rules of the grim world you'll be able to explore in Deathbound.

On the first screenshot you can see the duel between one of the playable characters, the assassin Anna, and a Death Soldier - Elite Warriors from the Church of Death. As you are also able to see, the streets of the city of Akratya are on fire, as the infidels are immolated in the pyres by the Church for their sins.

The second screenshot is a scene in which Anna spots the essence of Therone, another of the playable characters. In Deathbound, an extremely important part of the game is capturing the essences of fallen warriors and building a party to help you survive in a tech-medieval world tarnished by the gruesome conflict between Church of Death and Cult to Life.

The third screenshot from the game shows one of the game's heavy playable characters, with his massive hammer as their main weapon, causing real nightmares for the enemies he encounters. The fighting styles in Deathbound will be diverse, and it will be up to you which approach you choose in any given situation - a lot will also depend on your party and the warriors you select.

In this screenshot, you can see Anna in the heat of battle with one of the abominations, created by the Cult to Life in their laboratories while experimenting on the search for eternal life. In Deathbound you will face a number of enemies, with a varied types of attacks and animations that will present a challenge.

The screenshot below shows a statue from Old Ones, the first inhabitants of the city of Akratya, at a time when humans were still immortal. The Statue is located at Zehrimbal Stadium - one of the main points of public interest in Akratya, now turned into a fortress by the members of the Cult to Life.
