What do you think?

Good development so far I like this, took a bit of time to figure out still a few bits more, look forward to the full version.

Just finished the third challenge boss and I loved it! I don't know if it's intended, but When I spam attack with the swordsman, after the first three attacks I use the first attack every time, which is really fast, and I think that has the highest DPS. Also I like the fact that the upgrade materials are dropped by different bosses, and it is not said which boss drops what. I really felt like I figured out by the design of the boss, that the Wings are from the Eyeless Guy. (Maybe I just had a luck, and it isn't implemented like this, didn't test it, but if it is , I really love it.) My progression was: Archer, Shield, Sword. I felt like using the Shielded character is the hardest, and the Swordsman is the Easiest. I like how unique are the bosses, It really surprised me, that when I kill the Eyes, the boss gets blinded. Genius! Overall It is a nicely polished game, and the fights are fun. Love it.

when is the full game coming?

Intuitive Controls and Unique Combat

Bound By Blades is designed for players of all types and is meant to allow any adventurer to embark on this challenging journey. The combat system is vast in allowing a variety of attacks like Quick Attacks, Strong Attacks, Combos and Unique Combo Finishers. But you'll need to survive too, so you'll need to master Blocking, Dodging, Running, and Healing using potions in the midst of battle. The game may look simple, but it opens itself to a wide dynamic of gameplay and challenges through the bosses' abilities and the necessity to master your own.

Added in Kota's boss hit VFX and made it so his disc shows the same skin as the equipped one!

Kota's main weapon is his boomerang-like disc that requires timing his attacks with the disc's return to combo for more damage!

Blocking with his shield absorbs power, making it unstable, but also allowing him to launch that power back at the enemy!

A rough concept idea of the world map of Ashmyr!

In a wild and rare mishap, the awesome crocodile dude and his whole tribe took an arrow to the knee and had to retire from adventuring (Guren sends her apologies).

Revealing a sneak peak of the third playable character, Kota of the Oxbourne tribe!
