Sunderfolk (v2.0.1.67430)

A living-room tabletop session takes digital form in a colorful fantasy adventure built around conversation, planning, and the occasional disastrous move. Sunderfolk is a shared turn-based tactical RPG set in the threatened Sunderlands, where a party of unlikely heroes fights to protect the brightstone village of Arden. Its defining idea is simple and effective: the main screen shows the battlefield, while every player uses a phone or tablet as their personal controller, card hand, inventory, and reference guide. The tone is approachable rather than grim, making room for dramatic battles, cooperative problem-solving, and the social chaos that makes game night memorable.

Players choose from six reworked fantasy archetypes—the spell-focused Arcanist, support-minded Bard, hard-hitting Berserker, explosive Pyromancer, precise Ranger, and slippery Rogue—then shape them through Skill Cards, weapons, and trinkets. Combat unfolds one turn at a time on tactical maps, with positioning, turn order, enemy traits, and careful card selection mattering far more than quick reflexes. Each encounter asks the group to adapt its approach, whether that means controlling space, protecting a weaker ally, setting up damage combinations, or saving a vital ability for the next enemy push. Between missions, Arden acts as a progression hub where upgraded shops, new gear, and relationships with villagers steadily expand the party’s options.

The mobile-controller setup is more than a novelty because it removes the need for extra gamepads and keeps each player’s information private without cluttering the shared display. Up to four people can join locally, and Remote Play Together allows a host to bring in distant friends, while the required companion app supports both iOS and Android devices. Sunderfolk feels closest to a streamlined blend of Gloomhaven-style tactical decision-making and a couch co-op board game, favoring clear systems over punishing complexity. It suits RPG newcomers who want an easy group entry point, but tactical veterans still find room to experiment with builds, party composition, and encounter-specific strategies.
