Oh, Inkbound. I so desperately want to love you. You\u2019re from the studio that mashed together deckbuilders and tower defence to make Monster Train<\/a>, one of my favourite games ever. This time though Shiny Shoe has mixed a Hades-style isometric roguelike with turn-based tactics and made a bit of an inky mess all over the floor. An interesting mess, with one excellent idea, but I\u2019m still about to use up a lot of virtual ink complaining about its flaws.<\/p>\n

Hades didn\u2019t invent the isometric roguelike but it\u2019s clearly a regular haunt in Shiny Shoe\u2019s Steam library. The influence is everywhere, not just in its look, but in how Inkbound uses the roguelike structure as part of its story, steadily adding new dialogue to recurring characters you meet on runs and that gradually populate the main hub and directly acknowledging that you're fighting through these scenarios again and again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a Needless (hey!), a warrior in some sort of magical library where evil ink is destroying all the poor storybooks\u2026 I think? It\u2019s hard not to tune out when the cast are so tiresomely capital-Q quirky and the plot is the kind of fantasy hogwash where you feel yourself taking more psychic damage with every proper noun. It\u2019s a story about stories, which only draws attention to the fact that it's not a particularly compelling one itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where it properly breaks away from Hades is that Inkbound is entirely turn-based. Battles start with enemies surrounding you and kindly telegraphing exactly how they\u2019re going to attack. You\u2019ve got a limited amount of movement and attack power each turn to deal as much damage as possible, build up enough shield to block incoming blows, or move out of the way so you avoid them entirely. A number hovers over your head telling you how much damage you\u2019re going to take. See a skull next to that number? Start picking out a nice coffin.<\/p>\n

Killing enemies, raising your defences, and sprinting and teleporting around the arena to steadily chip that deadly number down to zero delivers a smug sense of triumph that has me regularly punching the air. But thanks to a lack of clarity I\u2019m just as often lowering that fist to scratch my head, as I'm left clueless how I'm expected to get out of a certain deadly situation. Positioning yourself and your enemies to avoid damage in a turn-based strategy game can\u2019t help but remind me of PC Gamer favourite Into The Breach<\/a>. The genius of that game was in how clear and readable its little death dioramas were. You could have printed them in the puzzle pages of a newspaper. Inkbound not so much.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also less reactive than I\u2019d like. Multiple attacks are designed to toss enemies around the battlefield, but this rarely creates opportunities to reposition incoming attacks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

Its attacks come in three flavours. Area of effect attacks are shown by a circle displaying the impact zone. Direct, unavoidable attacks are arrows connecting you to the offending enemy. Attacks that see enemies charging you are an arrow with a rectangle around it. These are fine in isolation, but when they\u2019re all <\/em>in play, as they frequently are, it can be like trying to understand the world\u2019s most cluttered, over-annotated venn diagram of death. Sometimes my eyes struggle to interpret this much action onscreen and so does the game\u2019s UI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A crucial number above enemies\u2019 heads shows how much damage they\u2019re going to hit you for. I\u2019ve had that number hidden from me because it\u2019s overlapping another number on the screen, leaving whether I should prioritise attacking that enemy a dangerous mystery. You can get pretty far into a run wondering what on Earth I\u2019m bellyaching about, but see if you feel the same way when the screen is crammed with enemies during one of its nastier (and not infrequent) difficulty spikes. Into the Breach, a game I promise to now stop shoehorning into this review, had a limited time-rewind feature that let you experiment and take risks. Inkbound would benefit from something similar to help mitigate its more frustrating and obtuse moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also less reactive than I\u2019d like. Multiple attacks are designed to toss enemies around the battlefield, but this rarely creates opportunities to reposition incoming attacks. One move that has you punching foes into each other feels like it should be the setup for something like this. Instead, fights still just consist of wailing on the enemy\u2019s health bar as much as possible then running headless chicken-style around the arena in desperate search of relatively safe ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can play the game in online co-op with up to three friends, and the game pushes you in that direction, especially with its almost MMO-like hub where other players can be seen scampering between vendors. In theory bringing multiple characters along should open up the strategy exponentially, allowing you to combine different builds and abilities into new synergies\u2014but in practice that lack of clarity of information makes it difficult to keep track of what your friends are doing and why, and if anything more characters on screen only makes battles even less readable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those last several hundred words of moaning aren\u2019t just because I\u2019m an unpleasant little goblin. I\u2019m a heartbroken <\/em>goblin, because along with all those issues there is enough good in here to keep me coming back. You get four starter loadouts, with so many excellent opportunities for customisation during a run that you can finish with them being almost unrecognisable from where you started. Some do stay consistently crap\u2014my sincere congratulations if you\u2019ve figured out how to get the mage that ties enemies together with thread to feel fun\u2014but you shouldn\u2019t struggle too much to find a decent brawler that\u2019s enjoyable to shape.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You get three starting attacks, with space to obtain several more, and these can be augmented with bonuses like inflicting poison, giving you shield if you use them in a certain way, or increased area of effect. Naturally you\u2019re trying to pick powers and upgrades that work well with each other, like an attack that\u2019s devastatingly powerful but slow to recharge with another that reduces your cooldowns. Solid stuff, albeit nothing earth-shatteringly original. It\u2019s the vestiges where the game starts getting clever, bordering on brilliant.<\/p>\n

Smashing idea<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Vestiges are talismans that grant a specific boon, such as inflicting burning whenever you attack or granting bonus damage on your first turn. They also each belong to one or more “sets”\u2014themed groups of vestiges. The more of a matching set you have, the more extra bonuses you unlock. So a vestige that adds bleed to your attacks, for example, will have “Eviscerator” as one of its sets, which grants bonus bleed damage if you have two of that set, buffs your attacks against enemies that are already bleeding if you have three, and heals you when you deal bleed if you have six.<\/p>\n

We've seen equivalent concepts in other games, of course, but Inkbound's cleverest twist is that it encourages you to smash your vestiges to bits. At certain points in your journey, you can choose to destroy a vestige, losing its core effect but permanently gaining double all its sets. Throw that bleed vestige into the grinder, for example, and from then on you'll always have at least two points in Eviscerator, as if you had two extra vestiges of that type.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

It’s often a deliciously difficult choice, because the vestiges you’ll benefit most from destroying are likely to be the ones whose powers synergise most with your build.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

With limited vestige slots, you always want to be breaking them for those bonuses and making way for new ones. But it's often a deliciously difficult choice, because the vestiges you'll benefit most from destroying are likely to be the ones whose powers synergise most with your build, and you're often sacrificing power in the present in the hope that you'll build to greater heights in the future. The rarer and more powerful the vestige is, the more sets it belongs to, making your greatest and most irreplaceable treasures the most tempting targets for destruction. It feels like a genuinely new twist on roguelike character-building, and it's in those moments of agonising over the best option that you can see most clearly that this is a game from the geniuses behind Monster Train.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you complete runs, you gain permanent progression, but instead of improving your stats, levelling up just unlocks more vestiges, making your adventures increasingly interesting with a greater spread of possible combos, rather than simply easier. Exploring all those possibilities is where the game is at its best. But whenever I start to feel I have a really solid grip on my vestige strategy, that's when I inevitably hit some wall of a battle where I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After playing a couple of hours of multiplayer with one of the PCG team, he pretty much swore off the game entirely after one suddenly seemingly impossible fight, and even though I am still having fun with it myself, I can understand why. I\u2019ll definitely return to Inkbound\u2019s well every so often to see how it evolves and hopefully improves, but though it has its clever charms, it won\u2019t be replacing Monster Train on my Steam Deck just yet.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
