The sands are shifting, and only the most cunning will survive—Dunebound Tactics has just dropped its free demo on Steam! Developed by Terahard Studios, this turn-based tactics roguelite throws players into a brutal desert wasteland where resources are scarce, enemies are ruthless, and every decision could mean the difference between life and death.
What’s in the Demo?
- Command Your Crew – Guide a band of survivors across the hostile sands, managing their fate with every choice you make.
- Master Tactical Combat – Outsmart your foes in turn-based battles with a fully destructible battlefield that forces you to adapt and reshape the terrain to your advantage.
- Endless Replayability – No two runs are the same. Each playthrough offers randomized squads with different classes and abilities, ensuring fresh strategies every time.
“Developing Dunebound Tactics has been a journey fueled by our passion for pure tactical gameplay. We built our own tactics engine from scratch, blending innovative mechanics with RPG depth. The demo is our invitation for players to jump in, test these systems, and help us shape the full game with their feedback.”
— Aris Tsevrenis, CEO of Terahard Studios
About Dunebound Tactics
In a harsh, ever-changing wasteland, survival is anything but guaranteed. As the commander of a sand-faring caravan, you’ll need to outwit rival factions, scavenge dwindling resources, and make impossible choices to keep your ship moving forward.
But power comes at a cost. Fuel your ship’s engine with Elios, a rare energy source obtained through quests, from fallen enemies, or—if desperation strikes—from your own crew members. Will you sacrifice a few for the survival of many?
Key Features
- Each Run Builds Your Legacy – Every triumph or defeat leaves its mark, offering new modules, wreckage to scavenge, and survivors to recruit in future runs.
- A Dynamic, Ever-Changing World – From procedurally generated battlefields to shifting quests and locations, no two journeys are the same.
- Turn-Based Combat with a Twist – Reshape the terrain itself to gain the upper hand in battle. Every fight is a tactical puzzle waiting to be solved.
- Recruit and Manage Your Crew – Save lost wanderers and bolster your ranks, but choose wisely—your caravan has limited space, and each character comes with unique classes, traits, and abilities.
- Fuel or Heal? – After battle, tend to your wounded or extract their Elios to keep your caravan moving—turning them into husks in the process. How far will you go to survive?
- Face Ruthless Foes – From the oppressive Imperials to the enigmatic Arcanists, battle 40 enemy classes in a desperate fight for survival.
