A turn-based tactical RPG adventure video game for 1-4 players which encourages cooperative play online or in your living room. Many compare it to a D&D kind of experience. Use your mobile device to control your character on the game board, which is displayed on a TV or monitor.
In Sunderfolk, players embark on an enthralling quest through the Sunderlands to save their peaceful animal village, Arden, from a mysterious corruption. Using a phone or tablet as a controller for the onscreen action, players explore vibrant locations, encounter colorful characters, challenge fearsome monsters, and discover hidden secrets. With no elaborate setup, rulebooks, or materials needed, Sunderfolk is a streamlined alternative to the traditional tabletop gaming experience, bringing tabletop veterans and casual players together to enjoy a charming fantasy adventure in an accessible format. Like its tabletop inspirations, only one copy of Sunderfolk is needed to play the game with friends. The Sunderfolk controller app is free to download on iOS and Android devices.
Up to four players can play Sunderfolk, with each player’s phone or tablet acting as a seamless interface for character management and controlling the action on a television or local/streamed monitor screen for a fresh spin on the classic game night experience.
Choose to play as one of six distinctive heroes with varying abilities and strategic roles – Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, or Rogue. Heroes can be tailored and customized with weapons, armor, items, and skills as they level up, enabling players to create a robust, well-rounded party equipped to overcome the challenges ahead.
Sunderfolk is a handcrafted fantasy setting full of imaginative locations, exotic creatures, and eccentric characters. Dark forces emerge from the Sunderlands and threaten Arden; it is up to the players to protect the peaceful village and its inhabitants. Arden serves as a base of operations that expands with new shops and services as players progress through the game. Return to Arden between missions to upgrade vendors for more items and equipment and befriend the townsfolk to gain rewards.
In combat, players must strategize positioning and turn order, selecting from their deck of Skill Cards to execute movements, attacks, and use items. Luck is also involved, with Fate Cards playing every turn that can impact their effectiveness. Players gain experience and rewards as they complete missions, gradually unlocking ways to customize decks. The key to victory is understanding the heroes' strengths and collaborating on a strategy based on the battle map and monsters in play.
The game is set to release on April 23, 2025 on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
Yes; a mobile device is required to play Sunderfolk. It acts as your controller once you have the app downloads and you've connected to the game. Instead of multiple controllers, several players can play together by each using their personal device (smartphone or tablet). One player can play multiple heroes using one device by toggling characters.
Using your smartphone with Sunderfolk allows players to access all sorts of information and effectively strategize. Since the game is turn-based, having a personal screen to look up passives, analyze your skill cards, launch coordination mode to point out tactics and customize your experience is really innovative.
No. You can play 2-4 heroes with 1-4 players. Solo play is indeed possible, and fun in its own right.
