Dunebound Tactics will push both your strategic and tactical prowess as you navigate the unforgiving wastes. Lead your crew on a daring voyage in search of a new life, making a perilous exodus across Imperial-controlled territories. Follow the Elios leylines aboard your fragile ship, embarking on a journey where risk and reward constantly intertwine. Power your ship’s engine by gathering Elios through narrative-driven quests, or the bodies of fallen enemies, and—if desperation calls for it—your own crew-mates. Steady your resolve, take the helm, and never look back. Each Run a Stepping Stone Stretch yourself thin to reach out to a better tomorrow in a Fully Roguelite Tactical RPG. Sometimes failure is not an option, this time it's the cost of living free. The perilous sands stretch vast across an ever changing landscape that has claimed more experienced adventurers - sometimes even willingly... Your previous mishaps, crushing defeats or triumphs will contribute to your next run, either in the form of modules, or potentially even survivors, as you find the previous caravan’s wreck. Dynamic world generation ensures that whether in combat or roaming through the sands - battlefields, locations or quests will challenge you in new and unexpected ways, making each run unique. Strategic Turn Based Combat Dive into high-stakes tactical battles where every decision can tip the scales between survival and defeat. Manipulate a fully destructible and reshapable terrain to mold the battlefield and seize the advantage. Unleash devastating abilities and devious tricks to outwit your enemies at every turn—this isn’t your typical cover-and-shoot affair, it’s a relentless test of strategy. Use caravan skills to assist your party fighting in close quarters to either buff them, destroy cover - or hopefully the enemy before they do some permanent damage to your crew. Hold firm in special events such as the last stand, or assassinate elite enemies in a multitude of missions along your way. Friend, Fuel or Foe With a roster of 15 distinct classes and 16 unique traits that enhance skills, stats, or add abilities, every run offers a fresh experience. As your characters grow, unlock their full potential by leveling up and equipping powerful modules (50+) to amplify their abilities. Rescue and recruit even more lost souls to bolster your numbers, but remember, your caravan has limited seats. Whether you find survivors wandering the desert or free them from the Imperial clutches, these narrative events will shape their future—as well as yours. Decide whether to heal your wounded in the infirmary after battle takes its toll, or extract the Elios from their bodies, leaving them mere husks, to fuel your ambitions or power the caravan’s engine. Caught between the Imperials and the Arcanists, your party must face 38 enemy classes in a desperate fight for a better tomorrow. Understanding your foes’ abilities and planning accordingly is key—your knowledge of this war-torn world is your greatest weapon. Create your own strategic advantage When the battlefield isn't working in your favor, take control and reshape it! Obliterate cover, reposition it strategically, or create your own defenses with the power of Elios. Erect ice pillars to hinder enemy movement, or explosive pillars to trap and damage them. Lay mines and set traps to ambush foes, or shove them into your carefully placed pitfalls with a forceful push. Master the terrain and turn every fight to your advantage!
