Tidebreak is out

October 10, 2026

Tidebreak is live: a real-time 3D tactics game about holding a Norse village against the raiders.

Before each raid you see where every longship will land. Raise mounds where they must not beach, dig ditches to slow them, and place your squads: a shield wall, spearmen, archers, berserkers, healers. Then the ships come in, and every landing is a small battle you can turn with a braced wall or a well-timed volley.

A run crosses a sea chart of seven islands — quiet shores, heavy raids, a trading post, a storm, a village already burning, an ambush — and ends against the jarl’s fleet or the sea-king on two lashed ships. Win an island, take a card. There’s a daily island and a weekly challenge, the same for everyone, with leaderboards.

It runs in the browser on phones and desktops, and you can install it as an app. Play Tidebreak · press kit
