    Pros:
    - Graphics. Well use of lighting with a voxel art design.
    - The game is fun to play choosing a vast variety of weapons and outfits
    - The level design is pretty good with destructible environments and variety of biomes
    - 2 player couch co-op which is very fun to play with kids

    Cons:
    - The music is fine but is the same track for all worlds
    - The objectives are not overly different from one another. May have a slight story impact, but I have up hunting the plot after the 2rd world
    - The bosses have some movements to recall, but no major boss stage or mechanic difference between all bosses
    - The biggest issue is the gameplay loop is very repetitive, if you have done one world, you have done them all. The last 3 worlds are slightly harder but more of the same.

    It took me 5 hours to finish the game with little replay value outside getting a high score or higher rank. But if you have done one of the 9 worlds, you have pretty much seen al what is on offer.    … Expand

    Riverbond is a game that feels as if it were meant to be part of a larger and more ambitious world. It’s great for jumping into a quick game to feed your hack and slash needs throughout the day, but with no in-game saves, no perks for skins collected, and a world that offers no room for real exploration, I find it hard to want to play with four friends because the enemies aren’t challenging enough. Coupled by an imbalance in weapon damage and objectives that don’t fit the style of play, I'd say Riverbond doesn't stand out in a genre that's already crowded.

    I think a few more weapon and ability options would have gone a long way towards giving Riverbond a bit more longevity and wide appeal, but what’s there is still a beautiful little nugget of joy that does what it attempts well.

    Much of Riverbond is a lot of fun: the combat, destruction and environments are simple but addictive and satisfying and the levels are varied. I wish that there was a little more story and character to become invested in, and that there was less reliance on similar structures for each level. Combat isn’t always fun for reasons that have nothing to do with skill or weapons but baked in mechanics and design choices. Overall, the voxel aesthetic works well with the game’s gentle sense of humor and lack of real menace. Riverbond isn’t the most complex action-RPG, but a good example of form and function in harmony.
