Lootbound Key Features
Turn-based tactical combat
Lootbound uses turn-based battles where you direct the main hero against dangerous enemies while companions act independently.
Flexible inventory management
Lootbound gives equipment a grid-based layout rather than fixed slots, allowing items to be rotated and arranged wherever space permits.
Item aura builds
Some items affect adjacent cells with auras that strengthen weapons or armor, making a small inventory adjustment capable of changing a build.
Recruitable companions
Runs begin with the hero alone, but route choices can lead to companions who join the squad and bring their own equipment and abilities.
Risk-based rewards
Special rooms offer rewards through choices with different difficulty levels, including dice rolls where more valuable outcomes carry greater risk.
Changing Guardian encounters
At the end of each biome, you choose between two boss parts. The selected parts alter the final Guardian's appearance and power before the final boss.
