Combolands: The New Deckbuilder-Citybuilder From Terra Nil Devs

Article Summary
- Combolands combines deckbuilding and citybuilding for a fresh, strategic gameplay experience

Indie game developer and publisher Crux Games, comprised of some of the minds behind Terra Nil, have revealed their latest title on the way: Combolands. This game takes deckbuilding gameplay and meshes it with citybuilding mechanics, as you'll use the hand you've been dealt to make a new place to live. As you progress, you'll get new options that you can choose to play, which will increase the city's size, special buildings, resources, and more to make your new island city a formidable place to live. It's almost like someone took Sim City and melded it with Balatro. We have more details about it here from the devs, along with the latest trailer, as the game currently has a free demo on Steam.

Build the City Of Your Dreams With An Unpredictable Hand in Combolands
Combolands is a deckbuilder where instead of a deck, you're growing a town! Progress through the archipelago, facing increasingly challenging handcrafted islands, carefully placing your buildings to unlock powerful synergies and trigger cascading combos. Return to the Capital between runs and spend your earnings to unlock upgrades – buildings, heirlooms, bonuses, and more. Discover a variety of different guilds, each with unique strengths and drawbacks, and even dive into a procedurally generated maelstrom mode.
