Dungeons &聽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. 聽聽
Realistic Layered Armor:
Gear protection goes deep. Equip your character and companions with layered armor聽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.聽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.
Specialized Skills for Maximum Impact and Survival
Your character's and companions' combat effectiveness is defined by deep, diverse Skill Trees. Customize your play style with abilities ranging from essential party management鈥攍ike Healing and Commanding companions to Hold, Follow, or Attack鈥攖o specialized combat techniques like Riposte and Cleave. When the timing is right, activate a skill for devastating results: shift your tactical balance with Offensive or Defensive Stances, or use the signature Charge skill, launching you across the grid to deliver a brutal, momentum-fueled hit that can instantly decide a fight.
Gain full control over the battlefield by leveraging skill trees that offer both utility and direct combat power. From managing your party with Command skills (Hold, Follow, Attack, Wait) to sustaining yourself with Healing, you choose how you fight: stand firm with a Defensive Stance or press the advantage with an Offensive Stance. For high-impact moments, Riposte and Cleave and other skills are at your disposal. Or maybe聽Charge at enemies from distance, perfect for finishing off a monster.
A World Ready for Exploration and Loot
The Open World map is fraught with peril and opportunity. Beyond raiding deadly Dungeons or Caves for valuable loot, you will encounter roaming enemy warbands and engage in open-ground battles across forests and meadows. Take on quests, trade goods between settlements, and gather the wealth and reputation needed to forge your legend.
