Pathbound vs Loneshard

Pathbound is an RPG where your real runs power everything. Every mile you cover in the real world becomes stamina for your hero. Spend it to explore a fantasy world, battle monsters, and bring home loot. Your first week of play is free, with the whole game open. If Pathbound makes your runs better, a subscription keeps the adventure going. Pathbound is not a step counter. Record runs right in the app, or sync finished workouts from Apple Health: outdoor runs and treadmill sessions all count. HOW IT WORKS Run anywhere: record right in Pathbound, or use any app or watch that saves to Apple Health. Claim your workout in Pathbound to earn stamina. Spend stamina on expeditions: choose your route node by node, fight monsters, trigger strange events, and decide when to push deeper or retreat with your spoils. WHAT'S WAITING • A world of seven regions, from quiet forests to obsidian peaks. • Hundreds of animated monsters to hunt, each with its own drops. • Roguelite expeditions with treasure, campfires, merchants, and boss fights. • Loot with rarities and elemental modifiers, plus a Forge to improve your favorites. • A camp to grow: garden, cauldron, workbench. • Daily and weekly quests you clear with real distance. • Towns full of characters who need your help, with shops and services that open as you pitch in. • Leaderboards and guilds full of other runners. Build a shared Outpost with your guild and chase a goal together every week. MADE FOR EVERY RUNNER A twenty-minute jog is real progress. Consistency beats speed, and the game never punishes a rest day. Whether you are on your first couch-to-5K or training for a marathon, your effort moves your hero forward. Pathbound syncs with Apple Health (HealthKit). It reads your finished workouts to power the game. If you record a run in Pathbound, you can choose to save it to Apple Health too.
