🛡️ RAIDBOUND

Strategic Viking Worker Placement Auto-Battler • Position-Driven Combat • Roguelite Progression

Lead a warband of fearless Vikings through a mythic land of glory, strategy, and bloodshed. In Raidbound, you’ll recruit warriors, position them wisely, and watch them clash in brutal, cooldown-based auto-battles where tactics, timing, and team composition determine your fate.

⚔️ POSITION-BASED AUTO COMBAT

• Combat plays out automatically once the battle begins — but your decisions before it start everything.
• Vikings attack based on cooldowns modified by their speed.
• Frontline targeting rules add deep tactical nuance: most units must break the enemy's line, one Viking at a time.
• Unlock abilities that bend the rules: strike random enemies, displace targets, or cleave through multiple foes.

🧠 HERO PASSIVES & ABILITY SYNERGIES

• Every run, choose from a variety of hero powers that shape your overall strategy.
• Passives range from tank-saving effects to formation-breaking wildcards.
• Stack buffs, status effects, and rune enhancements to create emergent combos across your Vikings.
• Replay value comes from mixing heroes, drafting new powers, and discovering devastating synergy chains.
  

🪓 RUNE-ENHANCED CREW SYSTEM

• Earn and equip powerful Runes to augment your Vikings with effects like:
  • Burn, poison, bleed, freeze, haste, armor, and more.
• Runes are consumable power boosts — merge them to forge stronger variants.
• Build run-specific loadouts to adapt to enemy types and draft RNG.

🔁 ROGUELITE PROGRESSION LOOP

• Fight through a series of PvE and PvP rounds, each more intense than the last.
• Losing a PvP battle costs health — but clever planning ensures you stay in the fight.
• Each victory earns rewards and choices that evolve your strategy for the next encounter.
• Runs end when all Vikings fall… or you become a legend of the leaderboard.

🧭 STRATEGIC WORLD MAP & EVENTS

• Between battles, choose your path across a dynamic world map.
• Visit Taverns, Blacksmiths, Runesmiths, Shrines, and Ritual Sites to power up your crew.
• Special events offer high-risk, high-reward decisions — sacrifice a Viking for permanent buffs, or gamble for unique items.
