Latest art assets, logos and screenshots are available to download here!

COMMAND

Choose from four commanders, each representing a different faction and bringing with them their own unique power, traits and play style.

Think tactically as you move your units, clash with rival mecha, and watch the outcome in dramatic battle sequences inspired by 90s Japanese animation.

DEPLOY

Call in reinforcements from orbit by picking from a range of mass-produced units with differing combat roles.

Assemble a force to lead into battle and strike fear into the enemy with imposing second-generation Variable Armours, piloted exclusively by your commander.

ADVANCE

Push forward and secure your supremacy on a battlefield of hexagonal area tiles.

Use a variety of terrain types to take cover or undermine the enemy, and capture structures to gain additional resources or deployment sites.

BATTLE

Inflict status effects, plant traps, support allies. Each type of Variable Armour is armed with its own specialist equipment and unique skills, allowing you to engage the enemy with a variety of tactical options.

CAMPAIGN

WARBORN takes place in the Auros System, during a time of war and political uncertainty.

While inter-faction disputes erupt, see the war unfold from the eyes of four different commanders across a story-driven campaign featuring over 40 missions.

I’m excited to announce that from Monday 27th April 2020 we’re running a Community Closed Beta on Steam for our upcoming mecha infused turn-based tactics game WARBORN!

The beta features the campaign mode for the game, playable up to mission 5. You’ll also be able to play Multiplayer online against others with two commanders, Luella and Izol, and even try out making your own battlefields using the WARBORN creative Map Editor.

During participation in the beta if you make a cool map then we’d love to see it, so please share screenshots with us on Twitter at @PQubeIndies using the hashtag #WARBORN. At launch, we’ll be giving away final copies of the game to the creators of our five favourite maps, and we’ll announce the winners at the end of the beta.
