New Afflictions to Look Forward to at Launch

In Chained Beasts we don't believe in just making the enemies harder to create difficulty, we have also come up with over 70 devious and creative ways to make you struggle through physical & mental afflictions.

When you need to heal between rounds, you must accept one of a variety of afflictions as a trade off.

Here's 3 new afflictions you haven't seen in the demo:

First there's "Annoying", which causes allies to often attack if you get too close to them.

Then there's "Impulsive", which forces you to lock in a new skill every second level and purchase an item at every shop — even if you don't want one!

Finally, there's "Infatuated", which makes the camera follow a particular ally, and grants you a +10% damage boost when they are looking at you.

Fight your way through these afflictions, and many, many more when Chained Beasts comes out in 5 days time.

And while you're here, can you guess what any of these might do?

  • Separation Anxiety
  • Bad Vibrations
  • Butterfingers
  • Narcissism
  • Gambling Problem
  • Nerve Damage
