What if the protagonists of books lost their memory?
Venture into their world and beat the hell out of historical and literary characters to bring order back to the literary world!
Bookbound Brigade is a new take on the established Metroidvania genre where you get to lead a colorful bunch of real and fictional heroes through a 2D side-scrolling platform-adventure:


Explore, fight, backtrack, grow your skills and tackle challenging quests and puzzles, as in any Metroidvania game worthy of its name, but get ready for a twist


There is no single hero in Bookbound Brigade: play as a party of unique characters, each with their own traits and skills, who move in formation and fight as one


Expect to meet familiar and less familiar faces, as all the characters, both playing and non-playing, are drawn from the pages of history and literature


Enjoy distinctive hand-drawn visuals, inspired by book illustration from all time and straying far from the pixel art dominating the Metroidvania genre
