The Bookbound Brigad stars legendary characters from history and literature, developed by Digital Tales and published by Intragames, the game unbinds its novel spin on the classic Metroidvania genre in this quirky tale of books!

Lead a troop of iconic heroes from popular fiction and the history books on a grand adventure to save the Literary World. Command the titular Bookbound Brigade, utilizing a range of formations to crush enemies, overcome platforming challenges, and discover hidden areas. Unleash skills and abilities like the prophet Cassandra’s time-bending power or Nikola Tesla’s electrifying comet strike to combat legendary foes like Medusa and Cthulhu.

An adventure teeming with beloved figures from fiction and history, Bookbound Brigade features eight playable heroes all moving as a single unit. Wield the powers of Nikola Tesla, Robin Hood, Dorothy Gale, Sun Wukong, Queen Victoria, Cassandra, and more, each with bespoke abilities and skills that help the entire team on their journey across five literary-themed worlds.
