Blightbound (2021)

In **Blightbound (2021)**, a world teeters on the brink of ruin, a decade after legendary warriors seemingly vanquished the terrifying Shadow Titan. However, their victory was hollow, as the Titan's demise unleashed the Blight – a virulent, corrupting fog that twists any living thing it touches into monstrous abominations. As one of three heroes, you will descend from your mountain sanctuary into the shrouded lands. **Blightbound** is a cooperative dungeon crawler where you'll explore intricately designed levels, confront a menagerie of mystical and terrifying foes, and scavenge for powerful loot. The ability to rescue and recruit fallen heroes further expands your roster, each possessing unique skills and a narrated story. Success hinges on mastering distinct class roles – Warrior, Assassin, or Mage – to overcome colossal bosses and solve environmental puzzles, all while striving to push back the encroaching Blight. **Blightbound**'s inclusion on a list of Ronimo Games' best works is well-deserved, showcasing the studio's evolution and mastery of their signature style. While they are widely celebrated for their innovative MOBA titles like *Awesomenauts*, *Blightbound* demonstrates Ronimo's versatility and commitment to creating engaging multiplayer experiences with a distinct artistic flair. The game's core loop of cooperative dungeon crawling, character progression, and loot acquisition is polished and addictive, hallmarks of Ronimo's design philosophy. Furthermore, the hand-painted character art combined with real-time 3D models and lighting creates a visually stunning world that echoes the vibrant aesthetic found in their previous successes. The promise of ongoing free updates with new content ensures a dynamic and evolving experience, a testament to Ronimo's dedication to their player base and their ability to build lasting, enjoyable games.
