This first-look demo of Sunderfolk offers a taste of a shared, turn-based tactical RPG designed to rekindle the spirit of game night. Built with couch co-op firmly in mind, it lets up to four players adventure together through the magical and dangerous Sunderlands, using their mobile devices as controllers by way of a required free companion app.
Each player selects one of six classes, choosing among the Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, and Rogue, before heading out into the Sunderlands to take part in turn-based tactical combat. There is no fixed turn order during battle, so strategies can shift at a moment's notice to respond to changing conditions, and with new enemies arriving every turn, the party must cooperate to find the best path to success.
Between missions, players return to the village of Arden to help it grow, unlocking and upgrading local vendors, forging relationships with other Sunderfolk for rewards, and equipping their characters with new Skills, Weapons, Trinkets, and more. As heroes of Arden, the group works to protect the town and its Brightshard from the corruption of shadowstone while facing threats from the surrounding Sunderlands, all anchored by a couch co-op-first design meant to be enjoyed together.
