Server Maintenance2021-09-28Hey there you Vikings and Bosses! Some of you might have noticed issues when trying to connect to a friend's game. Recently our third party multiplayer service deployed an emergency update which we need to integrate. This will take at best a few days, but it may go up to a week. During this time you might be unable to connect to online multiplayer games. This applies to Switch and PS4 versions as well. However... you can still play online using Steam Remote Play, Parsec, or a remote desktop streaming service of your choosing. We apologize for the inconvenience and promise you that we are doing are best to patch Bossgard ASAP.

Vikings invade Japan on Nintendo, PS4 and PC!2020-07-02Sound the alarm, a bread-shaped kaiju has been spotted on the coast of Japan! Recent reports indicate that the bread monster has appeared out of nowhere and has released a swarm of little bread people on the innocent civilians living in that area! It’s time to call in… ...the Vikings. So great news! Bossgard is now available on the Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Japan thanks to our collaboration with DMM games! Here you can find links to the Switch and PS4 Japanese store pages If you’re itching to smash those Joy-Con buttons or the Dualshock sticks, but don’t have time to learn Japanese, we also have good news for you! Next week we’re announcing
Bossgard's price just lost 20% of its HP!2020-06-26Ugh, summer. Vikings were not built for summer. Well... maybe Ziggy and Duke were. For the rest of them non-Jamaican, non-surfer Vikings, summer just goes against everything that is supposed to turn the inhabitants of the North in tough, gritty warmachines. Olaf of Bread is no big fan of summer either - he gets too crusty. But there are plenty of good things that come with the sunny season, one of them being that we're dropping the price on Bossgard with 20% for the duration of the sale. If you've been following the game for a while or you've just heard about it, here's a small recap. Bossgard is the party game that lets you play the Boss aga
Friday: Play with the devs2020-06-19In the words of Magnus... IT. IS. FRIDAAAAAAAAAY! We're hosting a live stream today to celebrate the past few weeks and blow off some steam. Our Vikings are beaten and tired from all the senseless wars against toilet utensils and living fortresses, it's time we rewarded them with a day of casual skirmishes. And it's also time we reward you people with some in-game items. We're dying to try out our fancy new way of giving out Bossgard stuff, we have entire shelves of spears, helmets, gold and even maps we'd like to give to our more loyal players. So check this out - come play against us (or help us fight amongst ourselves) and the victors walk
Patch: Fixing the Hog2020-06-10Hi there! We received reports of faulty mechanized assault pigs and we had to do something about it. Upon closer inspection it became clear that the Warhog's Ragnarok-Class Reinforced Armor came under too much pressure from sustained fire and corrosive Poison arrows. The Vikings seem to have developed a knack for landing Mighty Blows in the Warhog's armor weak points, especially where several moving parts would meet, like the joints and even the rotating autocannon. Sustained damage during the first phase of the battle comprised the deployment of the phase II combat kit. We've also noticed severe damage to the Warhog's central processing unit
Update: Fixes, improvements, and news!2020-06-04Hail you Vikings! Hail you Bosses! It’s been a great couple of weeks since Bossgard left Early Access! Glad to see some new faces in our community, we hope you’re here to stay! So! We’re back with another update, this time a good ol’ fashioned bug bashing routine plus several quality-of-life improvements! Here’s what’s up: Added new camera angles for the 2v1, 3v1, 4v1 Boss Vs Vikings game lobby. Updated the localization for French, Spanish and German Modified how map voting works. Map voting is now based on a common map pool drawn from all the maps unlocked/owned by the players in the lobby. Previously the game only drew maps from the Host’s

Huge Content Update! Bossgard is preparing to leave Early Access!2020-04-23Just a little while longer We’re super happy to announce that Bossgard is getting close to the end of the Early Access program. At the moment we're hard at work cooking the upcoming Switch and PS4 ports, drawing up promo assets and making sure that everything is in place for the grand finale of Bossgard’s Early Access and the grand opening of Bossgard to the rest of the gamers out there.

Play and be safe! Get 30% off Bossgard!2020-04-05Play and be safe! Depending on where you're from, chances are you've slain a few solid weeks of lockdown yourself. Us Sand Sailors have been working from home ourselves and the impact made by the sudden spike in the usual level of solitude has been surprisingly strong. We miss going out and we've tried getting as much digital social contact as it is virtually possible. Bossgard has given us plenty of occasions to relieve some stress and loneliness off our backs so we decided to drop a drop in price as soon as it was possible. What better way to #stayhome than beating bread? Right? (actual footage of Coronavirus in Bossgard) Better than 4 avoc
Bossgard Weekly Tournaments are here!2020-03-19Fight, heal, hunt and become the best Hi everybody, hope you are staying safe (and inside!) during these challenging times. Since we’re stuck inside our homes, we thought we might set off a series of challenges for you peeps. Without further ado... Sound the horn, grab your ale and hurry to the Great Hall! The Bossgard Tournament is about to begin. It is time to settle once and for all (or once every week or so) who is the best Bossgard player. Each week we’ll be hosting themed-tournaments, giving you a chance to show off your skills and earn some fat loot on the way. Participate in contests such as Thor’s Thursday and see if you can land the
Giveaway! Win Bossgard keys and date Maksim!2020-02-14Giveaway! Valentine's volley of arrows has been bombarding us for some time now. Unfortunately, we lost our best man - Maksim. Maksim is now lovestruck and there's not much we can do for him. He's a big loving guy, but he's also sensitive. We're afraid that if we don't find someone for Maksim (and fast) his goofy old heart will fail him. The oaf has been after Innes for a while, but that'll never work (truth be told she's too good for him). BUT! We have plan. A date with Maksim We've decided to give you guys and gals a chance to go with Maksim on a date BUT only if you prove your worth and answer a set of questions about our game. We care for
Update: Nametags! And a stream!2020-02-07Nametags Here we go, another update, nothing flashy this time, but highly useful nonethelss - name tags! In Local games nametags match the names of the characters being play, in Online games they match the player's name. Hit animations Characters now flinch when they receive damage, providing an extra layer of feedback for both the attacker and the receiver. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where Bhaar-Boot would not roll when moving Fixed a rare issue where Bhaar-Boot would cause the game to crash Join our Friday Stream We're hosting a stream today at 20:45 EET, we'll be showing off the latest batch of Vikings! Be there!
Update: Rage Away!2020-01-28Bossgard came a long way and as the game gets more and more complex, we often find ourselves looking back at some early design decisions we've made, sometimes realizing that some parts of the game could be streamlined. So we decided to drop the progression requirement for our Rage abilities, they will now be available off the bat. If you're wondering why we've locked them behind the God gates in the first place, it's because our early player feedback indicated that sometimes players would get lost when choosing between the various Rage powers or they would get frustrated, as some Rages are a bit harder to use than others. But after giving it
Friday: Play with the devs2020-01-17You know the drill. We start bashing each other in Bossgard and you're invited to join, all streamed for your convenience. Tonight's stream will be a bit special because we'll be showing off our latest achievements. Like, uhm our... Tune in right here at 20:00 EET!
Friday: Play with the Devs!2020-01-10We're celebrating the end of our first studio week of 2020 with a game of Bossgard (as we usually do on Fridays). We're going live right now and we invite all Bossgarders to join our game! Beware, we might even be raiding your own games should we find you online. So what are you waiting for? Fire up Bossgard and let loose the dogs of war! Or the plungers of war. Whichever suits you better. Bossgard awaits!
Ew! Bugs!2020-01-07Hail you Vikings, hail you Bosses! Here we are, sharpening our blades and cleaning our wounds after a mighty battle with 2019. As yesteryear’s songs quiet down, we look full of anticipation towards the 20th year of the 2nd millennium and since it’s customary for humans to utter the phrase “new year, new me” during this time of year, we shall begin with a bit of renewing of our own… ...by smashing some nasty bugs from 2019! Several of the issues covered in the update have been previously pointed out by some of our users, hopefully their game experience and yours will be much better as of yesterday. Fixed Issues: Keyboard Mapping Users reported
Friday: Play with the devs!2019-12-13Right, so it's time we lay down our keyboards, drawing tablets and whiteboard markers, and get down to what really matters... ...BASHING A GIANT SLICE OF TOAST WITH SWORDS, DUHH but since our game is better with friends, we'd love to have you over on our server. So if you've got time to kill and feel like firing arrows at a giant plunger, jump in! We'll be playing both PvP and Co-op and pvpcoop, so don't be shy. Also, play healer, please, we always need more healers. So there you have it, join us for a game! We're up in 5 minutes! Bossgard awaits! -The Sand Sailors
The one you've been asking for - unlocked characters!2019-12-11Before we go into details about our update we invite you… ...to check out our new trailer for the Survival Mode! We thought we’d begin the week with an update we wanted to do for a while, an update that addresses a popular demand - that we unlock the playable characters and reduce the grind. Without further ado, Magnus, Innes, Miko, Asha, Olaf of Bread, Jackhammer, Plunge D. and Bhaar-Boot will be playable as soon as you boot up the game. That's right, we're making these guys available from the get-go so you people can start hosting local multiplayer parties without the need to grind. Your feedback was valid, why delay the fun after all? Cust
Update: Survival 1.02019-11-29The Steam Awards are right around the corner and we'd super appreciate it if you'd consider nominating us! Personally, we'd go for the "Better with Friends" award but who are we to judge? That's a job for you people! Back to Bossgard Tree planting, scorekeeping, extensive balancing and a bit of storytelling, these are the main things covered in our latest update. Just like our last few updates, this one’s about the singleplayer Adventure mode. Making the world prettier Our first drafts of the Adventure map were made quite a while ago and we pretty much got used to the gloomy, freezing and unfriendly environment, but we’ve recently had a chang
Friday Play with the Devs2019-11-22We'll do a quick recap on what's new, a couple of versus matches and a survival challenge. The highlights are the new vik vs vik AI, the new deployable items for the Bossgard survival mode. See you there!
Update: Start Building!2019-11-21Hey everybody, we’ve just expanded Bossgard with a nifty update: a Build Mode! Are the breadmen too much to handle? Are the Drones swarming you to Hel? Is the Wanderer proving to be too much of a challenge? No worries! Build a Ballista! No. Better! A Cannon! Or several. You know what goes nicely with Cannons? Walls. Go on, build some Walls as well. Bossgard’s an unfair place, might as well tip the scales in your favor. Turrets, walls and traps can now be found as loot drops in Bossgard. They can pop out of barrels, broken down carts and all sorts of debris found throughout Bossgard. Just keep your eyes open! Structures are built using preciou
