Bound by Flame shows off some monstrous baddies

And I mean that in the figurative and literal sense.

Yep, that’s your big boy right there. Size aside though, Bound by Flame is looking pretty hot (ahem) and definitely changes things up from developer Spiders previous game, the high-tech cyberpunk Mars War Logs.

Bound does owe a little something to the sci-fi RPG’s combat system though, although it does build on it greatly. Bound by Flame has a much improved amount of attacks and a bigger skill selection than Mars had according to the developer. And then of course, there’s the magic. The main character of Bound by Flame is a mercenary who’s been possessed by a flame demon. As you can imagine, there’s plenty of supernatural hijinks that can be done with that little plot point.

Bound by Flame is on the way for early 2014 for the Xbox 360, PS3/4 and PC.
