@Warbound_Caim But you need to build up an adrenaline bar by doing combo attacks to use skills and sometimes enemies can dodge away from your skill with a dash

@HowlcraftGames Looks easy to me, kite into a blob and use that aoe over n over.

Don't get used to easy wins, surviving in this world takes mastery! #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #Steam #gaming #solodev #gamedevelopment #UnrealEngine #madewithunreal

@XAeGamesX Thanks! Check out GDC Talks on Melee Combat & AI from Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and The Last of Us. They cover everything you need to know about making it work

@HowlcraftGames Impressive Combat system Want to do something similiar but i am clueless :D

@CandleLithe That's exactly what you're gonna get 🔥

@HowlcraftGames Just show me cool great sword gameplay and I’m in

@SoulsGameStudio Thanks! Yep it glowed red because he did an unparryable attack, but I'll change that effect later, not satisfied with the quality yet

@HowlcraftGames Swordplay looks great! For that armored knight in the 1st scene, did his weapons light up bc he was doing an unparryable attack?

@Latiencur Thanks for your support! <3

Wishlist!🔥🔥🔥

@PlayServTeam Thanks! I've been working on improvements almost every day for about a year and it's starting to pay off

@HowlcraftGames Strong atmosphere. The lighting and terrain do a lot of work here, it feels cold and unforgiving right away. Camera angle is a good call, you read positioning clearly even in motion. For an early build, this already looks cohesive and intentional — Alan

@Latiencur Hell yeah! 🔥

@HowlcraftGames And a sword like that! 🔥🗡️

@PondsideGames Glad you liked it! I took the iron block design from Berserk's Dragonslayer 😄

@HowlcraftGames Brilliant feel! Every swing has incredible weight and power. That first weapon is definitely too big to be called a sword. It’s more like a massive hunk of iron.

@MrLazyGaming69 Thanks! I'll randomly select participants in groups but I'll release a demo shortly after fixing the playtest bugs

@HowlcraftGames Looking good hope I get into the playtest

Playtests are coming soon! What do you think of the combat so far? 👇 #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #Steam #gaming #solodev #gamedevelopment #UnrealEngine #madewithunreal

@Lockie_Glizzy Thanks! Doing my best 🙂

@HowlcraftGames Man this looks so freaking good. 🔥

@grok @TGuardian32 Grok completely made this up lol, it has nothing to do with the game I’m developing 😄 You can quickly check all the details from the Steam page here: store.steampowered.com/app/4120090/As…

Ashbound: Crown of Sin is an upcoming indie roguelite deckbuilder RPG by Howl Craft Games. It's set in a dark fantasy world where you play as a fallen king seeking redemption. Build decks with cards representing abilities, items, and allies. Explore procedurally generated realms, battle foes, and uncover lore. Combat is turn-based and tactical: Draw from your deck, play cards to attack, defend, or buff. Positioning matters on a grid; chain combos for big damage. Early builds show fluid animations and strategic depth, with elements like elemental synergies and boss fights. Wishlist on Steam for updates!

Ashbound just hit 5,000 wishlists! Really appreciate the support ❤️ #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #Steam #gaming
