Dungeons & Warbands

Dungeons and Warbands is a unique single-player Dungeon Crawler game with RPG elements that blends the tactical depth of grid-based, turn-based combat with the open-ended freedom of a world exploration game. Be a mercenary or leader of a warband, you are free to carve your own destiny and reshape the world in a low-fantasy medieval Open World.

Form Your Personalized Warband

Your path is your own. Explore a vast world featuring numerous kingdoms, settlements, ancient ruins, and hidden caves. But you don't have to face it alone. Recruit a diverse Warband of companions, ranging from loyal knights and treacherous bandits to non-human allies like goblins and minotaurs. Once you conquer a dungeon, maybe you can use the place to hire your new allies among the subjugated inhabitants.

Tactical Grid Combat with Consequences

Experience fast-paced, fluid turn-based combat on a tactical grid, where every move and attack is vital. Inspired by classic top-down RPGs, combat is punishing and realistic:

• Localized Body Damage: Every blow has consequences. Damage is applied to specific body parts, leading to crippling injuries that affect performance until healed.
• Realistic Layered Armor:Gear protection goes deep. Equip your character and companions with layered armor like cloth, gambeson, chainmail, and plate where each layer and piece protects specific body parts, forcing you to think strategically about defense. Wearing a steel cuirass protects the chest well, but what about neck? Because getting a deady hit to neck, head or chest can be fatal, so you need to consider geometry or effectiveness of each armor layer well.
• Defense by Damage Type: Each armor layer offers distinct resistance values against the three primary damage types: Slashing, Piercing, and Blunt. A chainmail might excel at stopping a slashing attack but less effective against blunt force. This forces you to anticipate enemy weapon types and manage your defensive layers accordingly to mitigate damage effectively.
