Dunebound Tactics really is one to watch for strategy fans

Dunebound Tactics has been announced by Terahard Studios and if you're anything like me and love your strategy games, this looks like one to watch for sure.

After reading up on it and checking out the trailer I'm getting a sort-of Sunless Sea / Sunless Skies vibe from this with the exploration and interactions, except you're in some sort of sand-crawling ship and there's the addition of turn-based tactical combat with plenty of destruction.

"Personally, I'm a huge tactics fanatic. We built our very own tactics engine with RPG elements from the ground up for Dunebound Tactics! I'm excited both for the technical innovations as well as the freedom we gave our game designers to create an amazing experience. The art in this game is the best we've managed so far connecting all the little details to squeeze performance and quality." — Aris Tsevrenis, CEO of Terahard Studios

Features:

• Each Run a Stepping Stone - Your previous mishaps, crushing defeats or triumphs will contribute to your next run, either in the form of modules, or potentially even survivors, as you find the previous caravan’s wreck.
• Dynamic world generation - Whether in combat or roaming through the sands - battlefields, locations or quests will challenge you in new and unexpected ways, making each run unique.
• Strategic Turn-Based Combat - Manipulate a fully destructible and reshapable terrain to mold the battlefield and seize the advantage.
• Friends - Rescue & recruit lost souls to bolster your numbers, but remember, your caravan has limited seats. With a roster of 15 distinct classes and 16 unique traits that enhance skills, stats, or add abilities, every run offers a fresh experience.
• Fuel - Decide whether to heal your wounded in the infirmary after battle takes its toll, or extract the Elios from their bodies, leaving them mere husks, to fuel your ambitions or power the caravan’s engine.
• Foes - Between the Imperials and the Arcanists, your party must face 40 enemy classes in a desperate fight for a better tomorrow.

You can follow it on Steam. For Linux / Steam Deck players you'll need Proton.
