Just Push StartMark FajardoJul 20213.5/5Overall, Blightbound has a good base, it just needs to expand on it more and a faster way to get there. Playing as a class you don't like until the version you do appears sucks and then leveling it can be a bit long. Certain enemies could also further the need to master each classes unique offering, so it isn't three damage dealers with one of them being responsible for healing. Given the roadmap suggests good things are coming, along with the progress we've seen thus far, but in its current state it needs a little more time to bake.

God is a GeekChris WhiteJul 20216.5/10Blightbound has a lot of good to offer, but with dodgy matchmaking and a repetitive feel to the gameplay, it won't be for everyone.

CompletexboxJordan CampbellJun 202275/100Blightbound for the most part ticks every box for the genre. With its Pokemon-esque approach of unlocking heroes and levelling them up at your own pace, it is a grinder’s dream. There are minor annoyances here and there and the AI bots could do with some work to make them easier to handle. You’ll be best suited to understand that this experience has been designed with co-op gameplay with friends or random players as the main focus.

VGChartzPaul BroussardAug 20214/10Blightbound is a title without much of an identity to flaunt; it’s utterly devoid of anything that could make it stand out amidst the usual crowd of Steam dungeon crawlers, and it features numerous technical issues that hold over from its long stay in Early Access.

Noisy PixelJul 20214/10Blightbound is a perfect example of a game as wide as an ocean but as deep as a puddle. There’s a story, customization, and many characters, but they all take so much time to experience and have so little payoff that I can’t really recommend this game to anyone in its current state. Coming from the studio that made Awesomenauts, Blightbound feels like a step down in terms of execution and polish. It’s disappointing to see something that clearly had lofty ambitions fall so far short of what it could have been.
