About our game

Tectonicus is the game where great stories of the past come to light, while you get to uncover – and interpret – what happened. Live through the clashes of civilizations that shape the world, and write history as you play.

Tectonicus synthesizes mechanics of turn-based strategies, auto-battlers, and card games. To succeed, you are to use strategic thinking when placing heroes, commanders, and units on the board, as well as building synergistic decks that emphasize each faction’s unique strengths. The forces of history come into play through History cards, affecting the units on the battlefield depending on their historical accuracy. The approach is for you to choose: destroy anachronisms or buff legendary heroes, weaken historical misconceptions, or reinterpret controversial units in your favor!

Apart from online and local PvP battles, Tectonicus will feature a full-scale story mode. The player will be called to restore the historical truth lost in contradicting accounts and theories, rewritten history, and scholars’ disputes by reincarnating significant battles and living through them as warlords across centuries. Choices between the historical interpretations will have to be made, affecting the premises of each battle and building up a unique storyline every time.

About your department

As a game developer, your primary responsibility will be to turn ideas into reality. You will be tasked with improving Tectonicus while also ensuring that any bugs are identified and fixed. Additionally, as a game programmer, you will work closely with other departments to incorporate their ideas into the game.
