소개

Turnbound is a cerebral turn-based auto-battler that fuses 'inventory Tetris' with roguelite progression. Trapped within a haunted boardgame, players must manage a grid of weapons, relics, and trinkets to construct the ultimate combat engine. The goal is to achieve 10 victories against the 'ghosts' of other players' builds in asynchronous PvP battles, creating a loop of constant adaptation and strategic evolution.

스토리

You are a trapped soul imprisoned within a supernatural boardgame, forced to battle for your freedom against the spectral remnants of past players. As you progress, you unlock the power of mythic heroes like Sun Wukong, channeling their legendary abilities to break the cycle. The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling and the evolving complexity of the ghostly opponents you face.

Gameplay

Gameplay is a mix of spatial puzzle-solving and strategic planning. Between battles, you shop for items and arrange them on a grid; adjacency bonuses, merging identical tiles, and positioning determine your power. Combat is automatic and turn-based, with attacks triggering from top-left to bottom-right, meaning the physical layout of your inventory dictates your attack sequence and synergy triggers.
