Scalebound is an action role-playing video game played in a third-person perspective, in which players assume control of Drew, as he progresses through the world of Draconis. Players is bonded and accompanied with a dragon called Thuban, who can breath out fire and assist players throughout the game.

Thuban is controlled by artificial intelligence, but players can give commands to the dragon when performing attacks. The dragon can be ridden, though not in the beginning of the game, and its shape and appearance can be customized. Players can also upgrade its abilities by using the gems dropped by defeated enemies. In addition, players are equipped with melee weapons like swords and ranged weapons like explosive arrows.

As a result of the bond between the two, Thuban's death will cause Drew to die as well and vice versa. When encountering large enemies, players can swing to them and climb on them to perform attacks. Drew also has a dragon arm, which allows him to scan enemies for information, unleash pulse energy to attack, and heal his dragon companion. The playable character can also shapeshift into a half-dragon person. When he transforms, his abilities will be significantly strengthened. The game also features a four-player co-operative multiplayer mode.

We are amazed by the execution of the concept and the gameplay, much needed introduction in the RPG industry!

As fans of the FF (Final Fantasy) series, this is as close as what an xbox exclusive could offer, cant wait to get my hands on this game. What do you guys think? It's an xbox exclusive is that a deal breaker for you guys, if your a PS or PC only gamer? Our reaction and thoughts on this game is in the video below,
