Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Due to all of the possible combinations and builds, games like Turnbound turn out best if they are community-driven. Being Early Access gives us the opportunity to start involving players early. The real fun lies in breaking the meta - we want to treat this game like a living project with frequent updates that transform and elevate gameplay.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we are reluctant to put a final date on when we will be out of Early Access, our current timeline is 4-6 months. Ultimately, our goal is to ship when we feel there is enough content to keep players entertained for hundreds of hours.

We have a few key dates planned for content updates and you can check out our roadmap on the Community Page!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“More characters, more skins, and hundreds more Items and Abilities. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We will be launching into Early Access with 3 Hero Characters and over 150 Items and Abilities which players can use to create endless unique builds to fight asynchronously against other players.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we expect to be able to offer our early adopters a lower cost for their support in shaping the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are currently and will continue to be deeply involved with our community. We have weekly patches and community updates, having already added additional features as requested by players from our demo.
The best place to suggest and vote on features will be our community Discord, but we take in any community feedback we come across!

About This Game

In Turnbound, you are trying to outsmart your way to freedom from a haunted board game where each session pits you against the trapped souls of other players, battling against the tiles left behind by other real players in asynchronous PvP battles. It’s a game of competitive inventory management, where every tile you place in your grid has a strategic cause-and-effect loop that ripples through battles and rewards those with foresight and creativity.

Will your design outlive your ghostly opponents… or join them?

Arrange and synergize

Draft and place new weapon, item, and trinket tiles to unlock combos and upgrade your Hero through a branching set of abilities.

With each tournament round you’ll manage your grid-based inventory by choosing which tiles to buy, upgrade, deploy, or sell. Organize tactical synergies which execute rewarding cause-effects loops that give you an edge against your opponents!

Play at your own pace

Compete against builds left behind by other players and watch your own loadouts battle - on their own.

As each asynchronous multiplayer autobattle completes, use the helpful playback tools to better understand how your choices played out so you can improve your grid.

Become unbeatable

Survive the trials with Heroes from your favourite legends to unlock new abilities, tiles, and cosmetics! If you keep playing your tiles right, you might just keep your soul intact - and make it to the top of the highest competitive chambers.

Key features

- Choose from recognizable Heroes of legend with their own items, abilities and trinkets inspired by their lore

- Organise and optimize your inventory and build

- Assemble and merge powerful items into new synergies

- Autobattle other players and test your strategies with asynchronous multiplayer

Still not sure?

Some of our players have described it as “Backpack Battles crossed with Hearthstone Battlegrounds,” and said that it's like “if The Bazaar met Backpack Battles” or “if Inventory Tetris and Hearthstone Battlegrounds had a cursed baby”. So if any of those games interest you, you may have fun with this one too!
