Less than a month after Premiering at PC Gamer - Tokyo Direct, veteran indie team, 1TK announce plans to take their competitive inventory management title, Turnbound, to Early Access at the Galaxies Showcase!
Of the Early Access release, Designers Tom and Donald said, “We have seen creators refer to us as ‘Indie Hearthstone Battlegrounds’ - that is a big goal and one we aspire to live up to.” “Because of all the possible combinations and builds, games like this turn out best if they are community driven. Being in Early Access gives us the opportunity to start involving players early.”
They plan to enter Early Access with 3 Hero Characters and over 140 Items and Abilities which players can use to create endless unique auto-battler builds to fight asynchronously against other players. They have also revealed development on a fourth Hero Character that will become available for Early Access players.
Additionally, they have shared plans for their first set of content updates which will include:
-
Leaderboards
-
Saving & Sharing Builds
-
New Game Modes
-
Progression & Customization
While we don’t have exact dates on when those updates will roll out, the developers have a Public Roadmap pinned to their Steam page so that fans can stay updated.
Weekly balancing updates and larger content updates show a team that are eager to keep providing players with new features that keep the experience fresh. They are particularly excited about providing players with the ability to share builds with each other - allowing them to test their designs against friends. Or letting creators fight against the builds of their viewers.

For those ready to test their organisational skills against other players, Turnbound is now available to Wishlist and the Demo will still be playable until Early Access.
