Totally Accurate Battle Simulator News

We first showed you the TABS alpha in 2016 and the response was unbelievable. The community has supported the game ever since and has always been there with great feedback and unit suggestions.

Working on TABS is a lot of fun thanks to the happy and encouraging engagement from the community, it is what has made TABS into a labor of love for us!

Nominating TABS for the Labor of Love 2019 Award is to nominate TABS’ loving community as much as it is to nominate the game itself.

Love ❤️
The Landfall Team

Hi! You might wonder what’s in store next for the game and why the roadmap says To be Announced for the next update.

We’re currently in the process of bug fixing and optimizing the game in order for the ports to console to go smoothly (Console release dates to be announced!).

During this process, we can’t add much more content to the game, but while you wait we will be patching the game optimizing it and fixing bugs to make the game even more fun to play.

Hopefully, we will have a really nice content update for you late this year or early 2020 :)
