Katana, musket, bow, and blade are all weapons of war in the upcoming Warbands: Bushido, a blend of tabletop battles and deck building set through 16th century Japan.

Designed with a tabletop aesthetic - figures, boards, dice - Warbands: Bushido challenges you to build your own fierce unit of samurai and other warriors, and then enter battle online or within its story-driven campaign.

Your strategy is derived from various units, abilities, and special order cards, letting you smartly position ranged and melee fighters or utilize skills such as deflecting arrows. Cover against arrows and bullets, morale throughout skirmishes, and leveling up units across multiple battles will all be important to consider while fighting against other players and during missions.

Warbands will consist of distinct campaigns, ranging from a master samurai traveling through war-ravaged provinces to a ninja fighting against the vengeful wrath of his own clan.

Warbands: Bushido is currently available on Steam Early Access, and is also planned to release on iOS later. You can learn more about the game here.
