Sunderfolk (TBD)

Sunderfolk is a couch co-op, turn-based tactical RPG where your phone is the controller. Up to four players will pick one of six unique classes, each with their own playstyle, and adventure together through the magical and dangerous Sunderlands.

In the gaming sphere, a bustling new title has come to the forefront - Sunderfolk™. This mobile RPG taps into the nostalgia of gathering with friends for a tabletop RPG adventure, reimagining the traditional format in the digital realm. Utilizing your mobile device as a controller, this turn-based tactical RPG provides an immersive co-op experience for up to four players venturing through the mystical and perilous Sunderlands.

As a player, you select one from among six classes that include the Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, and Rogue. The game offers dynamic combat wherein constraints such as a fixed player turn order is conspicuously absent, thereby lending the opportunity for strategy shifts responding to battlefield conditions. Brace yourself for unknown enemies and adapt your approach with every mission.

The narrative demands your very best efforts, as you, a hero of Arden, strive to safeguard your town and the iridescent Brightshard from the perils of corruption through shadowstone and combative threats from the surrounding Sunderlands.

Sunderfolk promotes yet another innovative feature: your television or monitor displays a QR code that leads you to the Sunderfolk app. Following a simple scan, your phone converts into an all-in-one gaming machine handling everything from serving as a controller, displaying your rule book, showcasing your inventory, and more, simplifying the process for new players.

The unique heroes that Sunderland offers each carry their own distinct play style. The narrative accentuates the pivotal role RPGs play in shaping characters, encouraging players to enhance their strengths using Skill Cards, and customize their character’s build mission after mission using Trinkets and Weapons.

Taking its board game inspiration a step further, Sunderfolk introduces tactical combat, wherein player’s turns are defined by their Skill Card choices. Strategies will constantly be on the move, with each mission posing new enemies with intriguing abilities.

Apart from the gripping battles and missions, a significant portion of gameplay is focused on the re-development of the town of Arden. This includes upgrading vendors, acquiring new items and equipment, and forming alliances with townsfolk for additional benefits.

Overall, Sunderfolk transitions the traditional couch co-op experience into a dramatically new and immersive digital adventure. Its RPG elements, tactical combat, and town development features set this game apart. The twist on traditional RPG classes and the emphasis on community building adds a substantive depth to gameplay, potentially setting Sunderfolk as a watershed moment in turn-based tactical RPGs.
