About us
GAMUCATEX is an indie startup based in Copenhagen with a diverse, global team, focused on weaving history into gaming experiences. The team includes people from the industry, some new and some experienced, and regularly hosts a group of interns.
About our game
Tectonicus is a historical strategy card game combining mechanics of turn-based strategy, auto-battlers, and card games. Players use strategic thinking to place heroes, commanders, and units on the board, and build synergistic decks emphasizing each faction's unique strengths. History cards affect units on the battlefield depending on historical accuracy, letting players destroy anachronisms, buff legendary heroes, weaken historical misconceptions, or reinterpret controversial units. Apart from online and local PvP battles, Tectonicus will feature a full-scale story mode where players restore historical truth by reincarnating significant battles and living through them as warlords across centuries, with choices affecting the premises of each battle and building a unique storyline.
