TABS developer Landfall releases 23 free prototypes, including PvP shooter, airship builder, and RTS card game

Landfall is no stranger to April Fool’s jokes. But this year, the indie studio, known for its smash hit Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, has gone a step further and released a collection of playable prototypes it has worked on over the years.

Landfall Archives is available on Steam for free. The project is described as a “collection of every project Landfall and friends have worked on since 2016 that didn’t make it to the shelves but which all deserve to see the light of day.”

In addition to the old version of TABS (buggy, but still interesting for fans to try out), it has a lot of fun stuff in genres varying from Survival and Fighting to Deckbuilder and PvP Shooter.

At the moment of writing, Landfall Archives has a 97% rating on Steam based on 400 user reviews. It is hard to say whether some of these concepts will ever make it into a full game, but it is still a really great way for a game studio to give its fans a glimpse of what usually remains behind the scenes.

What prototypes are included in Landfall Archives?

  • RTS card game (2021) — a prototype that combines real-time strategy gameplay with deckbuilding mechanics;
  • Robots Forever 1-2 (2018-2019) — a game about fighting modular robots, each part of which has its own health bar;
