Game Description
Solarpunk Tactics blends the visionary philosophy of Solarpunk with the strategic depth of a competitive Roguelite Card Game. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where factions vie for survival, Solarpunk Tactics offers both a rich, story-driven single-player experience and dynamic multiplayer competition.
The game’s unique deck-building mechanics, faction-based abilities, and procedural challenges promise a fresh experience for strategy and card game enthusiasts. Its solarpunk aesthetic, narrative depth, and complex sociopolitical themes set it apart from traditional deck-builders.
Key Features
Unique Factions: Four factions—Life, Chaos, Order, and Death—each with distinct philosophies, mechanics, and visual identities.
Deterministic Strategy: No random card draws. Players have full access to their deck, making strategy, foresight, and resource management key to success.
Roguelite Progression: A single-player campaign offering procedurally generated challenges, allowing players to build and refine their decks over multiple runs.
Multiplayer Modes: Competitive online duels, ranked ladder systems, and periodic tournaments.
Dynamic Audio & Visuals: Faction-specific music and immersive dynamic art tied to the evolving game states.
Solarpunk Narrative: A thoughtful exploration of solarpunk ideals and a deep narrative woven into the gameplay.
Gameplay & Mechanics
Deck Building: Players build their decks with Tactics (immediate effects) and Creatures (units on the battlefield).
Single-Player Campaign: The player leads one of the four factions in a roguelite campaign to unify the world. Each faction represents a different worldview and strategic approach, and the Campaign will offer deck customization, items and permanent unlocks.
Multiplayer: Ranked competitive play with a focus on skill, balance, and strategic depth. Top players can see their decks integrated as AI opponents in the single-player mode.
Procedural Challenges: The roguelite system ensures that each campaign offers fresh and evolving challenges.
Development Status
Solarpunk Tactics is currently in the alpha stage, with core systems like deck-building, faction abilities, and roguelite progression fully implemented. We are finalizing multiplayer stability, balancing faction dynamics, and preparing for beta testing in early 2025.

About the Team
We are a team of 10 international professionals working from Argentina, Mexico, USA, Germany and Amsterdam. The co-founders are based in Michigan and Rosario, Argentina and we’re not only making a Solarpunk game, we’re intertwining its philosophies with our organizational structure, management, and company culture.
We don’t want JUST to be making a Solarpunk game, we want to embody the movement, and organize our team with this in mind.
One of the ways we do this is by operating using the Teal Methodology from Frederic Laloux’s Reinventing Organizations, as well as Kim Nordstrom’s 7 Symmetrical Levels of Delegation, from his book Up Down Up. This means our team members work autonomously and collaboratively, contributing to the areas they’re most passionate about. Each “environment” within the company—Art Design, Game Design, Development, Narration, Community Management, Infrastructure, and Funding—operates independently and efficiently, ensuring flexibility and motivation.
Marketing & Community Engagement
We are focused on building a strong community leading up to launch. Our engagement strategies include:
- Early Access & Beta Tests: Gathering feedback and refining gameplay.
- Kickstarter Campaign: In mid-November, we will launch a Kickstarter to secure early community support and funding for additional content.
- Tournaments & Events: Players will be able to participate in online tournaments, with top players’ decks featured as AI Commanders in single-player campaigns.
