How It Plays

Torchbound is an arena survival game. You move a knight around a crypt arena and your knives fire on their own, at your mouse or at the nearest enemy. Rats, bog slimes, cave bats, lurker spiders, cyclops slingers and wisp ghosts come at you in 6 waves, and each wave is harder than the last.

Defeated enemies drop XP. Every time you level up the game pauses and you pick 1 of 3 upgrades, like more knives per throw, orbiting axes or faster dashes. Your build shows down the left side.

At 3:00 the Ember Fiend arrives. It fires rings of shots, starts charging at you below 60% health, then gets enraged below 25% and fires a spiral while it charges. Beat it and you win. If your HP hits zero the knight has fallen, and if the Fiend is still standing at 5:00 the round ends. A new round starts on its own 12 seconds later.

Your viewers decide how hard it gets. Help gifts heal you or give you a free upgrade. Hinder gifts send more enemies, light fire traps near you or summon the boss early. The gifter's name shows when their gift lands, and the results screen lists the top gifters.

Gift Effects Table

These are the default gifts. You can change any of them in Settings, and each gift can only do one thing.

Default gift Coins Side What it does
Finger Heart 5 coins Help Heals the knight by 20 HP.
Rosa 10 coins Help Gives the knight a random upgrade. If every upgrade is maxed out, it heals instead.
Rose 1 coin Hinder Sends a pack of 6 rats into the arena.
GG 1 coin Hinder Sends a swarm of 4 bats into the arena.
Doughnut 30 coins Hinder Lights 3 fire traps near the knight for about 9 seconds.
Galaxy 1000 coins Hinder Summons the Ember Fiend straight away. If it is already out, it calls 8 rats around the boss and heals it by 5%.

Gift streaks count every gift, so a streak of 5 Roses sends 5 rat packs. Likes and comments do nothing in Torchbound.

Streamer Tips

  • Tell chat the split before you start: Finger Heart and Rosa help you, the other gifts make it harder.
  • Galaxy summons the boss straight away, so call it out when someone sends one early.
  • Dash through rings of boss shots. You can't be hurt while dashing.
  • Run a round with practice gifts before your first LIVE so you know what each gift looks like when it lands.
