Take a gander at the five brave companions who are prepared to follow you into the flames and back next week.
We’re only a week away from the release of Bound by Flame on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, and the excitement for the dark and fiery RPG is only continuing to build. Last week we got a taste of the customizable heroes that we will be able to control in the game, and so now it’s only fitting that we get our first look at the many different companions who will be backing us up along the way.
The latest batch of Bound by Flame screenshots showcase these companions, and there are five of them in all: Sybil the young mage, Randval the warrior, Rhelmar the elf, Edwen the witch, and Mathras the undead. Of course, each companion will boast their own unique skill set and battle techniques based on their respective character classes. For instance, Edwen the witch will lash out with long range magic spells, while Randval the warrior is a powerful ally when it comes to hand-to-hand combat.
But the importance of these companions extends well beyond fighting side by side in Bound by Flame, as developer Spiders tells us that players will even be able to “gradually develop friendships, rivalries and even romances with them along the way.”
Bound by Flame will officially be released on May 9, 2014.
