About the Game




A century has passed since the fall of the Edoran Empire at the hands of an unprecedented plague that swept the nation. Now, the land is rife with mercenary work, banditry and thievery, with honor having become an almost entirely forgotten virtue.

Now, prepare to lead a group of unscrupulous characters in a massive open world where combat, death and a thirst for riches will dictate your day to day life. You are not the hero of this story, destined to usher in a new era of peace. Your goal is solely to survive and thrive in this harsh and hostile world, by any means necessary…

Only the bravest and most ambitious can hope to see their story written in the Wartales!




Lead a group of mercenaries on a dangerous quest for riches and recognition in a medieval world ravaged by destitution and greed, recruiting new companions with numerous unique specializations, skill sets, weapon preferences and personalities.

Customize your group's skills, equipment, and appearance with an intuitive RPG progression and crafting system, while developing your camp with luxuries, tools, and equipment to help your team endure and recover from the hardships each day brings.




Journey through a vast, open world in your quest for notoriety, wealth, and recognition, immersing yourself in lively villages and remnants of a bygone era. Explore abandoned mines, tombs, and camps as you piece together the history of this harsh world.




Collect bounties and take on contracts. From protecting the innocent from petty thieves to defeating the land's most notorious figures, there's no such thing as a profit too small to take.

Overcome your foes with a tactical turn-based combat system that rewards careful planning and strategic thinking, selecting the best combination of characters, equipment, and tactics to succeed in each unique battle.




Traverse the vast open world of Wartales as a band of up to 4 players, planning tactics and devising a strategy before confronting some of the many hostile inhabitants that roam these mysterious lands and defeating them as a team.

Share money, loot, resources, and end the day with a delicious meal around a roaring campfire with your loyal companions, building camaraderie and forging unbreakable bonds that will help you overcome any obstacle.

Mid at best and the devs turned it into a DLC money-grab rather than finish the game as promised. This is the last Shiro game I ever waste my money on.

Honestly love the game, but the fact there are still bugs from vanilla that have not been fixed and there are now about 8 DLC (mind you half of them add mechanics that should have been in the base game to begin with)

Wartales is a great example of a game that almost nails everything and then completely screws itself with the most braindead balance imaginable. The animal companions are absurdly dumb as my friends choosing their next

Great bones, fundementally flawed and sometimes broken UI and Quest System. After a long experience in this game I have to give it a downvote in the hopes the Devs see it and fix some critical issues. If they can adress

This could be a good game. Instead, they just leave the base game half baked and keep churning out dlc's. over priced dlc's with content that should have just been in the base game. the balance is jacked, and any good

There may be a decent game hidden somewere inside this but i couldn't find it. Battles feel slow, unfair and tedious, have to reload all the time. Status effects are just all over the place, a lot of enemy archers just
