You’ve got to see what’s going on in this world… From the folks behind some of Blizzard’s biggest hits comes Sunderfolk, a couch co-op RPG that brings board game vibes to your screen — and turns your phone into your controller. It sounds strange, but it might just be one of the most charming and clever multiplayer games of the year.

*Sunderfolk requires the free Sunderfolk mobile app (iOS/Android) to play.

A Game Night Game That Actually Feels Like Game Night

How It Works

Each player downloads the free companion app (iOS/Android), which instantly links their device to the main game. There’s no need for extra hardware or setup, and everyone gets their own unique interface on their screen.

Six Unique Heroes, Infinite Possibilities

Available Classes

• Arcanist – Area control and magical tricks
• Bard – Support with buffs, distractions, and charm
• Berserker – Pure brute force and frontline chaos
• Pyromancer – Burns everything, including the terrain
• Ranger – Long-range precision and trap setting
• Rogue – Stealth and critical burst damage

Customize your character with skill cards, trinkets, and weapons between missions to create your perfect build.

Turn-Based Strategy With Tabletop Energy

Pick a Card, Take a Turn

The combat system draws clear inspiration from games like Gloomhaven and Divinity: Original Sin. You act one at a time, picking from your skill cards to solve tactical puzzles in each encounter. But there’s no rigid turn order — you plan and adapt on the fly.

AI That Keeps You Guessing

Enemies aren’t just punching bags — they have unique abilities and patterns that force your team to stay coordinated. Expect each battle to feel different from the last.

Rebuild Arden, Your Home Between Battles

After missions, players return to the town of Arden — a magical village surrounded by danger. Use your resources to upgrade vendors, unlock powerful items, and build trust with townsfolk for quest rewards.
