## Build the loadout, then watch it fight

The game presents its dungeons from a first-person view, but attacks resolve automatically. Players prepare a hero’s equipment board and let speed, item effects and status conditions determine how combat unfolds. Items occupy shaped spaces on a grid, and their placement affects what they do.

The full game’s Steam listing describes two progression systems: a longer incremental campaign that preserves hero growth, and separate roguelike climbs where losing the final heart destroys the current build. A co-op version of the climb supports two to four players.

## Demo available now

The Steam page offers the demo separately from the unreleased full game. In the same October 19 update, louidev said Dungeonbound had reached 10,000 wishlists and reiterated plans for a November launch.
