About
NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare is a lighthearted, team-based player-versus-player game about neighborhood warfare! Deploy traps and barricades to defend your own house and open your shed to chose crazy tools to get the better of your Neighbors. If you are sneaky you can even steal their deed!
Welcome to the Neighborhood
“Love thy neighbor.” Or so the saying goes at least. Well. On some days that might just not be what you want to do at all. Prepare, gear up and vandalize your way through your neighbors defenses to get the better of them.
NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare is a lighthearted team-based multiplayer game for up to eight players that features a wide range of items, abilities and base-building. All set in the lovely neighborhoods in the grand city of Heartsville.
Meet the Neighbors
Heartsville is the home of many unique neighbors for you to meet and play as. From the old cheerful Doreen to the little annoying brat that is Kevin, there is sure to be a neighbor you can relate to.
As the seasons come and go, more neighbors will move into the neighborhoods of Heartsville.
- Play as eight unique neighbors with more to come.

Prepare Your House
It is always a good idea to be prepared for intruders. Strategize, purchase and fortify your house with a wide range of utility and traps. Don’t forget to tend to the garden where you can plant all kinds of fruits and vegetables to aid you in the battle.

Attack Your Neighbor
While a good defense will come in handy, you know what they say: The best defense is a good offense. In NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare there are several ways to victory and neighborhood glory. It is up to you if you want to take the sneaky path or go in loud with a bang.
However, no matter which path you choose you need to be clever about how to use the tools at hand.
- Endless combinations of both ranged and melee tactics available.
A Growing City
Enjoy a stroll down the harmonious Harmony Lane or the serene Serenity Summit. As time goes by more Neighborhoods will be opened up in Heartsville for you to brawl it out in. However, no matter which neighborhood you end up playing in, choosing your house will be critical.
In NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare your home is your battleground. Choose between different houses and, with time, customize them to stand out among your neighbors.
- Five different houses to play in with more added regularly.
