Lootbound is a released inventory management roguelike from ArtDock, published by Dreland Enterprises, available on Steam and Xbox Series X|S with Japanese support. The launch roadmap lists six planned updates, including world expansion, new encounters, new enemies, new heroes, and additional platforms.
Lootbound launched on August 14 after a release date announcement in June. The game is an inventory management roguelike set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. It combines turn-based combat with equipment management and tabletop RPG elements. Players start with a single character, choose routes on a map, and recruit allies along the way.
Equipment has no fixed slots. Players rotate and place items freely into a grid, and some items carry auras that strengthen adjacent weapons or armor. Shifting one item can change an entire build. During turn-based combat, only the main hero is directly controlled, while allies act autonomously. The final boss, the Guardian, changes its appearance and strength based on parts the player selects during the run.
The game is available on Steam and Xbox Series X|S, with a regular price of 1,999 yen and a launch discount of 35 percent off, bringing it to 1,299 yen until August 29. Japanese language support is confirmed. A free demo is also available on Steam. The release roadmap lists six planned updates, including world expansion, new encounters, new enemies, new heroes, and additional platforms, indicating the launch is positioned as the start of ongoing development rather than a finished product.
