Dungeons & Warbands

Dungeons & Warbands is a single-player dungeon crawler with RPG elements, combining turn-based combat on a tactical grid with open-world exploration. In a low-fantasy medieval world, you can pursue your own path as a mercenary or lead a warband, building your reputation and reshaping the world.

Explore the world

Travel among kingdoms and settlements, and search ancient ruins and hidden caves. You can take on quests, trade goods between settlements, and raid dungeons and caves for loot. Roaming enemy warbands also pose a threat, and you can fight them in forests and meadows.

Recruit your warband

Recruit companions including loyal knights, treacherous bandits, goblins and minotaurs. After conquering a dungeon, you may be able to hire new allies from among its subjugated inhabitants.

Fight on the grid

Combat is turn-based and takes place on a tactical grid, where your moves and attacks matter. Damage affects specific body parts, causing injuries that impair performance until healed. A fatal blow to the neck, head or chest can kill, so you need to consider which parts your armor protects.

Armor can be layered with cloth, gambeson, chainmail and plate. Each layer and piece protects specific body parts, and each has different resistance to slashing, piercing and blunt damage. For example, chainmail can stop slashing attacks well but offers less protection from blunt force, making it important to consider enemy weapons when choosing your defenses.

Develop combat skills

Skill trees let you shape the combat abilities of your character and companions. Healing helps sustain your party, while Command skills let you order companions to Hold, Follow, Attack or Wait. You can also use Riposte and Cleave, take an Offensive or Defensive Stance, or Charge across the grid to strike an enemy with a forceful, momentum-driven hit.
