Shiny Shoe is a small San Francisco studio that has big hopes for its latest project Inkbound: Rise of the Unbound. The game was released in Early Access on Steam a little over a year ago, and on April 10, the online roguelike game is being fully released.

The team found success with its previous title, Monster Train, a roguelike deckbuilder, and Inkbound follows the same path. It mixes elements of that game and other tiles such as Slay the Spire and incorporates into a turn-based combat that also requires positioning. It’s more tactical as players have to figure out safe spots to avoid enemy attacks while also finding efficient ways to damage as many enemies as possible with an attack.
