Gameplay Rundown part 2/2- Combat and beyond

Combat
Sooner or later, you’ll face your enemies in battle.
The Frontline will step up to the challenge—hopefully surviving to tell the tale.


Each battlefield presents unique challenges, and every scenario shifts the rules. Walking into a fight is a bold act of defiance, with ripple effects that will shape your run.


Combat is dynamic, with terrain playing a crucial role. Some characters can reshape it entirely, like creating stone pillars to block paths or explosive ones to set traps.


Most characters can destroy terrain pieces like rocks, houses, or boxes—sometimes with nothing but their own head, a bullrush!


Amid the chaos, you can harvest Elios from fallen enemies—or even allies—by staying near their petrified remains. Just be careful: standing still might make you the next target.


Combat is the epitome of chaos throughout history, and it’s up to you to keep a cool head. Plan each move with precision and purpose, or risk watching your run come to an untimely end.

The Great Beyond


In the trailer’s final moments, a great mechanical hand rises, holding an island with a lighthouse-like tower and a pure sphere of Elios at its peak.
Is it a beacon of hope? Or the lifeforce of crews who came before you?
You WILL find out..

Thanks so much for reading! We’ll return soon with more Dunebound Tactics stories. Let us know what you think—we’d love to hear from you!
