Greetings Spirits,
Turnbound is officially live in Early Access.
Today marks a big milestone for the team and the community we’ve been building this game with.
Over the past months, you’ve explored the demo, pushed Duels Mode to its limits, shared builds, broken systems, and surprised us more times than we can count. Early Access is where everything comes together: the full game loop opens, the competitive layer goes live, and Turnbound truly begins to evolve in the open.
What’s live today
Leaderboards
The final Chamber (currently Chamber 6) is now the Leaderboard Chamber. This is the competitive endgame, where runs start to matter in a bigger way and rankings come into play. This is just the foundation, with more leaderboard features planned as Early Access progresses.
A new playable hero: Robin Hood
Robin Hood joins the roster at launch, bringing new synergies, playstyles, and risk-reward decisions to explore. If you enjoy adapting on the fly and pushing clever builds, he’s ready.
Duels Mode
Duels Mode remains fully available. Share your build codes, challenge friends and creators, and throw your best creations into the arena. We’re already keeping an eye on the wildest builds showing up.
Founders Pack (optional)
Alongside Early Access, an optional Founders Pack will be available for players who want to support Turnbound a little extra.
It includes cosmetic-only content available on day one, first access to 1.0 content when it is ready, and access to a dedicated Founders-only Discord channel to follow development more closely and share feedback directly with the team.
The Founders Pack is designed as a thank-you to early supporters who are helping shape Turnbound during Early Access.
Upgrade to the Founders Edition
Expanded core systems and progression
Early Access brings a major expansion to Turnbound’s systems. New items and trinkets open up fresh synergies, Alice and the Monkey King gain new shop abilities and ultimates, and progression goes deeper with new character levels, player levels, challenges, and Steam achievements.
Several new mechanics also give you more control over how your runs unfold, from choosing certain round rewards, to influencing shop rerolls with Shop Bells, to opening treasure chests that add a new risk-reward layer to your decisions. This update is all about experimentation, agency, and pushing builds further.
Language & platform support
Turnbound launches into Early Access with broad support from day one.
Supported languages (interface & subtitles):
English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese
Supported platforms:
PC, Mac, Steam Deck
Whether you’re playing at your desk or theorycrafting from the couch, you’re good to go.
And this is just the beginning
Early Access isn’t the finish line. It’s the point where we iterate faster, experiment more, and expand systems based on how you actually play. New content, deeper progression, and additional features are already in motion, and we’ll share more as things solidify.
The demo officially closes today as Early Access begins.
If you’ve been with us for a while, thank you for helping us get here and for shaping Turnbound along the way.
