About Raidbound

🛡️ RAIDBOUND

A Tactical Viking Auto-Battler with Roguelite Worker Placement

In Raidbound, you lead a clan of fearless Vikings through a mythic gauntlet of combat, sacrifice, and divine favor. This is no idle expedition—each decision shapes the fate of your warband.

Recruit your warriors from the Tavern, train them in the ways of battle, and prepare them for war. Infuse them with ancient runes, forge legendary weapons, or sacrifice them to strengthen the clan. Once your energy for the year is spent, you must Raid—battling another player’s clan in asynchronous auto-combat.

Between battles, travel across a living map of strategic Nodes. Each offers a different boon—or risk. The road to glory is yours to choose.

⚔️ Vikings & Combat

•

Each Viking joins your clan with a unique ability and one of four roles: Raider, Warden, Berserker, or Skirmisher. Roles create synergies—like Wardens granting bonus armor when grouped.

•

You can equip up to 4 abilities per Viking, unlocked by infusing them with Runes. Combat is fully automated, but strategic: Vikings attack based on speed, targeting (frontline, backline, or random), and ability loadout.

•

Lose a Raid, and you lose a life. When you’re out—your run ends.

🧠 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.

🔁 ROGUELITE PROGRESSION LOOP

•

Fight through a series of PvE and PvP rounds, each more intense than the last.

•

Losing a PvP battle costs lives — 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 the top Jarl.
