Sunderfolk is a cooperative tactical RPG campaign set across the Sunderlands. Players lead a party of up to four heroes through missions, with each person controlling a character. Local play can use phones as controllers, while online play also supports mouse and keyboard.
Combat is turn-based and built around skill cards: players choose abilities, plan movement and attacks, and coordinate when to act. Different character classes bring distinct abilities, and missions can include varied objectives alongside enemy encounters.
Between missions, the party returns to Arden to talk with residents, develop relationships, buy gear, and upgrade village shops and buildings. Heroes gain cards and equipment as the campaign progresses, and players can adjust their loadouts between missions.
Players often enjoy Sunderfolk as a shared, board-game-like adventure, especially the option to use phones as individual controllers for couch or streamed play. Reviews also praise its approachable tactical combat, distinct character roles, and the fun of coordinating plans and renaming things together. Some players criticize boss-fight difficulty spikes, limited depth or replay value, and the price; opinions on the phone controls and story presentation vary.
Rediscover game night with Sunderfolk, a tactical co-op RPG built to bring people together. Whether teaming up across the globe via online multiplayer with a mouse and keyboard or playing couch co-op with phones as controllers, Sunderfolk adapts to your group. It’s your party, your plan, and your story to tell.
Playing with phone controls? Only the host needs to own the game! Friends join for free using the free Sunderfolk Controller app as their hand of cards, guidebook, and controller. Just scan a QR code on a shared screen to jump right in.
If you prefer a traditional PC experience you can team up with friends seamlessly through native online multiplayer. Control your heroes directly using full mouse and keyboard support, with your skill cards and stats integrated right on your screen (online multiplayer requires each player to own a copy of the game).
Start your campaign and take on challenging missions together. Use powerful skill cards, choose your turn order, and plan every move. Outsmart enemies, adapt your tactics, and face down epic bosses.
Between battles, unwind in the charming village of Arden. Upgrade shops, discover gear, share hearty meals, and connect with locals—some of whom may spark something more than friendship.
The magic of gathering around the table, without the setup. Whether you're passing around snacks on the couch or strategizing over voice chat online, Sunderfolk brings friends and families together through thoughtful strategy and shared laughs. It’s game night exactly the way it should be.
