Also new update.
The folks at Shiny Shoe have taken a rock and bludgeoned FOMO to death with it in this week’s update. Inkbound, the tactical roguelike from the creators of Monster Train, is changing up its seasonal battle pass. First off they won’t be seasonal anymore.
Passes will be called “leveling passes” and will be available for purchase at any time. Player progression is maintained between seasons and never lost, even if a new pass comes out. Especially if a new pass comes out.
Meanwhile the sixth playable class has released; Star Captain. Half captain, half star, all roguelike.
“This new Star Captain aspect showcases a mastery over lasers both big and small, controls deadly Sentinel Drones (with you guessed it, lasers), utilizes powerful teamwide auras, and harnesses the destructive force that is frost,” says gameplay designer Colin Galen. “Star Captains can chain damage between foes with their Chillazer or call in the big guns with Cryoclasm; an orbital beam that deals huge damage to an enemy and frostbiting anyone unlucky enough to be near. Their Mission Leader aura gives big buffs to allies while simultaneously calling in friendly Sentinel Drones ready to zap foes and trigger frostbite. Star Captains excel as supportive team players, boosting friendly abilities and protecting them with shields. However, even by themselves, they are a force to be reckoned with, building up massive frostbite or drone damage.”
Check out Inkbound on Steam where it currently holds an 85% “very positive” rating.
