Inspired by gathering around a tabletop RPG table with friends, it is built with the couch co-op experience in mind. Up to four players can play together as you adventure through the magical and dangerous Sunderlands.
    *The free mobile app is required to play the game.

    Each player will pick one of the six classes (Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, and Rogue), and together, you'll venture out into the Sunderlands and engage in turn-based tactical combat. During combat, there is no set player turn order, so your strategy can adapt in a moment's notice to react to the conditions of the battlefield. With new enemies appearing at every turn, it's up to your party to find the best approach to each mission.

    Between missions, players will return to Arden and help improve the village. You'll unlock and upgrade different local vendors, build relationships with other Sunderfolk to earn rewards, and outfit your characters with new Skills, Weapons, Trinkets, and more.

    Your goal, as the heroes of Arden, is to protect the town and its Brightshard from the corruption of shadowstone and defeat the threats from the surrounding Sunderlands.

    A Couch Co-Op First Experience
    The best adventures are meant to be shared. Up to four players can play together in this new tactical RPG adventure where your phone is your controller.

    Step into a New World
    Scanning a QR code on your TV/monitor will take you to the free Sunderfolk phone app* (on both iOS and Android), which will transform your phone or tablet into your controller, hand of cards, rule book, inventory, and more. Friends and family can learn to play quickly, since all the information they need will be in the palm of their hand.    … Expand

    Perhaps the most ringing endorsement of the game is the fact that the group of writers I played with is on board to finish the rest of the campaign even after our reviews are done. Even with no obligation to continue playing, it’s still a game I’m compelled to return to. Between its intricate character classes, wonderful voice acting from Anjali Bhimani, and how the title balances teamwork and individual player freedom, Sunderfolk is a real gem.

    Sunderfolk is an engaging and fun game that combines tactical gameplay with the charm of classic tabletop RPGs. While the story isn’t incredibly gripping, the fun of experimenting with different classes and playing with various friends keeps it fresh. The fact that only one person needs the game, and others can join remotely, is a major plus, making it a fantastic modern take on classic tabletop RPGs.

    Sunderfolk proves to be an admirable debut from developer Secret Door. It features many of the best aspects of tabletop games, capably molded into a two-screen video gaming experience. Even the parts of the game that feel subpar, like the mundane story, can still be a net positive simply through the power of friendship. Whether folks come together through a weekly game night or through a short session on Discord, Sunderfolk's bold ideas shine through and will hopefully set the stage for more exciting campaigns down the road.

    Still, Sunderfolk is best enjoyed with friends, whether it’s online or on the couch. I’m looking forward to furthering my adventures with this game on Switch. It’s an incredibly neat idea and concept that feels right at home on a Nintendo platform. When I can navigate adult life to get a regular group together to play through this, I’ll hopefully be back with a scored review. [Review in Progress]
