About Turnbound Demo

In Turnbound, you are trying to outsmart your way to freedom from a haunted board game where each session pits you against the trapped souls of other players, battling against the tiles left behind by other real players in asynchronous PvP battles. It’s a game of competitive inventory management, where every tile you place in your grid has a strategic cause-and-effect loop that ripples through battles and rewards those with foresight and creativity.

Will your design outlive your ghostly opponents… or join them?

Arrange and synergize

Draft and place new weapon, item, and trinket tiles to unlock combos and upgrade your Hero through a branching set of abilities.

With each tournament round you’ll manage your grid-based inventory by choosing which tiles to buy, upgrade, deploy, or sell. Organize tactical synergies which execute rewarding cause-effects loops that give you an edge against your opponents!

In this Demo you can sample two characters and their items to get a feel for the available synergies and abilities.

Play at your own pace

Compete against builds left behind by other players and watch your own loadouts battle - on their own.

As each asynchronous multiplayer autobattle completes, use the helpful playback tools to better understand how your choices played out so you can improve your grid.

Become unbeatable

Survive the trials with Heroes from your favourite legends to unlock new abilities, tiles, and cosmetics! If you keep playing your tiles right, you might just keep your soul intact - and make it to the top of the highest competitive chambers.

Matchmaking is in Beta and we would love your feedback so please join our Discord and Playtests to share your thoughts.

Compete directly with other players, Duels let you challenge a specific build by entering a simple code. Share your own builds with a unique code or test yourself against a friend’s strategy. Discover and challenge the best builds of the community with our 'Featured Builds'

It’s fast, chaotic, strategic and the perfect way to prove once and for all whose tile brain actually reigns supreme.

Still not sure?

Some of our players have described it as “Backpack Battles crossed with Hearthstone Battlegrounds,” and said that it's like “if The Bazaar met Backpack Battles” or “if Inventory Tetris and Hearthstone Battlegrounds had a cursed baby”. So if any of those games interest you, you may have fun with this one too!

NO GEN AI

No Generative AI, was used to create any of the in-game art or assets. Not even the battles are AI, all of them come from saved/winning builds created by other players. Even the tutorial where you play against “the cat", or occasional "bot builds" were crafted by our game designers.
