RAIDBORN review

RAIDBORN is a indie cup finalist indie game developed by Phodex Studios. This game will be a FPS action adventure indie experience with great story and intuitive gameplay. Indie games have gotten a lot of the new levels in 2022 and 2023. This game is going to be a big bang in the indie game world. This game actually reminds me of an old 2007/2008 Hellgate: London. Where you make a character in a RPG form like and build your character along the way with your own choices and weapons. This is Joey and going on and on with RAIDBORN.

RAIDBORN currently has an ich.io page and a steam page with a wonderful trailer encasing amazing gameplay. The game will include some trading NPCs and non-stoppable action. RAIDBORN has the artstyle of a game I played before called Gunfire Reborn, pretty sure you heard about this game. The game looks promising and has a lot of promises to achieve. There is said to be a 20 hour solo player campaign with a great yet simple story. There will be a lot of dungeon crawling with a lot of enemies and different types of action in each dungeon. 
There will be a melee and ranged combat systems, which is great to be in an indie game.

The devs say that there will be microtransactions, which mean there will be a multiplayer system in the game. RAIDBORN has some roguelite elements embedded in its core. The dungeons in RAIDBORN are dynamically generated for each run. This is good to keep high value for the replay. Also, this favors the game so much because it has an extensive skill tree and a lot of weapons to try. So each time you replay the game from start, you get to try different skill combinations along with different weapons in different environments. The physics in this indie game is great. A heavy mace or axe can throw 3 enemies on their backs to kill them. This suds fun for a lot of mayhem in the dungeons.


From the trailer there looks to be an element for great combination of different attacks, like hopping while hitting arrows and then switching to a fast dagger for melee. This gives the game a lot of value, since you go and try different combinations yourself. The game's artsyle also favors the low-poly style. This style give a lot of accessibility for the game. This makes the game run on much lower end devices so a lot of people get to play the game.

The Verdict

RAIDBORN is an upcoming action indie FPS game developed by Phodex Studios. This is a promising dungeon crawl/roguelite game, with a lot of replay features and a story rich of 20 hours of content. All of this is shipped in a indie game container coming out on steam at 29th March 2023. Save date and wishlist the game on steam to support the developers of this game.
