Combolands, a mini roguelike citybuilder from Crux Games, is officially scheduled to launch on PC via Steam on August 24, 2026.

Quick Facts

Release Date: August 24, 2026
Platform: PC (Steam)
Developer: Crux Games (Sam Alfred and Skye Scott)
Publisher / Support: Landfall
Genre: Mini roguelike citybuilder

Gameplay and Structure

Evolving out of an Itch demo titled Tiny Towns, Combolands challenges players to construct buildings on procedurally generated islands during short, thirty-minute sessions. The core mechanics center on unlocking powerful synergies, triggering cascading combo chains, and managing 21 possible guild combinations across multiple islands.

Runs are shaped by unlockable councillors, relics, and distinct guild strengths and drawbacks. Players work toward building sprawling interconnected metropolises while adapting their strategy from run to run as terrain generation shifts.
