Welcome to the Dreadlands, it might just be the last thing you ever see...

Dreadlands is a new turn-based skirmish game set in a living post-apocalyptic shared world. Explore Dreadlands by travelling across its many regions with your misfit gang of miscreants and mercenaries. The game is set in a Shared World where players frequently encounter and interact with each other. Sometimes they cooperate, other times they pick fights in bloody PvP battles.

Blackfox Studios is lead by former senior Fatshark developer Peter Nilsson, and the game is set in the lush and vivid post-apocalyptic world of Krater.

Originally posted by Peter Nilsson, founder and Creative Director Blackfox Studios:
“With Dreadlands we want to take the online elements of an MMO or a shared world shooter and combine it with addictive turn-based gameplay”
Build your gang from any of the distinctly different factions inhabiting Dreadlands. Level up and unlock new spectacular tactics to use on the battlefield. Manage your base by purchasing upgrades. And find unique artifacts to combine into new powerful gear.

Originally posted by Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark:
“Peter's concept is unique, to have all players in a shared world running PvE challenges and PvP matches at their choosing. At Fatshark we are fans of turn-based games, and are super stoked to team up with Blackfox Studios on this title"
Dreadlands allows you to carve your own path, find hidden bunkers filled with artifacts from the old world, play an epic story-driven campaign together with your friends in co-op and face off against other players in intense PvP battles.

Considering the competition in that particular genre, I think they only have to be better than ... Wakfu.
Or Shadowrun Chronicles, but that's a dead one anyway.

No idea how Fatshark stays in business. I guess through Warhammer licensing. Krater was a forgettable title.

I almost considered picking this up for a moment until Fatshark was mentioned as the developer.

Hey everyone!

We just released our game Dreadlands into Early Access and we would love to hear what our fellow tactics & strategy game enthusiasts think about it!

Dreadlands is a turn-based tactics RPG inspired by games such as XCOM, Jagged Alliance 2, Necromunda and Fallout Tactics.

It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone is fighting over the precious super-resource known as Glow and features 2 separate factions, each with their own campaigns.

We're very community driven so we wanted to try and bring all of the turn-based enthusiasts together in a shared online world (but you can still play offline) where we can all play together.

We currently have PvP in the game, but we're going to expand on it as well as add Co-op into Early Access soon, along with much more stuff!

Right now we're also giving away 5 Dreadlands Steam keys on Twitter. So just like and retweet this Twitter post to enter the raffle for a chance to win!




If you want more info you can check the links below, but either way it'd be awesome to hear your thoughts!

Here is our Early Access trailer:
