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?
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!
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.
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
