Plan your strategies in Turnbound
1TK has announced that their mind-bending auto battle game Turnbound will be released into Early Access on November 13th following its debut at the PC Gamer – Tokyo Direct. The competitive inventory management game will next appear at the Galaxies Showcase, where players will be able to experience a unique combination of strategy and creativity.
Designers Tom and Donald shared that an Early Access release would allow them to involve the community directly in development. “We've seen creators calling us 'Indie Hearthstone Battlegrounds' – that's a big goal and we're committed to achieving it.” “Because of all the possible combinations and builds, these games work best when they're community-focused. Being in Early Access gives us the opportunity to start attracting players early.”
The Early Access version will launch with three hero characters and over 140 items and abilities, giving players endless opportunities to create inventive builds of auto-battles and asynchronously compete with others. The fourth hero is already in development and will be available in early access.
The team also revealed their first wave of content updates, including leaderboards, build sharing, new game modes, and deeper progression and customization options. While there is no specific release date yet, fans can keep up with the developments via public road map available on the game's Steam page. The team is also ensuring that there will be weekly balance adjustments and large amounts of content drops to keep the game moving forward. One of the most anticipated features is the ability to save and share builds, allowing players to challenge friends or creators to test their strategies.
For those looking to test their organizational and tactical skills, Turnbound is now wishlisted on Steam, with a demo available to play before Early Access launches.
