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.

It is extremely unpleasant to be advertised DLC at the very start of a playthrough on a fully purchased game. Ironically, I'd be very likely to buy DLC for a game that was as fun as this if they didn't use these kinds

Lot of fun. Highly recommend. Only two real gripes, I wish it was a little easier to explore - you tend to run out of money and food too quickly to just explore the map without missions etc. And the inventory, limited

Over 50% of the game is DLC. fun with friends for sure, but annoying to be reminded every 5 minutes that we dont have access to half the content of the game. Guess ill just whip out my credit card to get the full

Great game so far! Tickles my silly bone. However, don't buy all the DLC's. Some are just cash grabbers with little additions. Some are undercooked; don't wanna see you get food poisoning.

Some of the comments on here made me hesitate to buy this game. No idea why people are crying because i've been having fun! I still haven't bought a single DLC & I don't think I need to. Maybe i will consider it later

No tutorial... so that is one HUGE downside. I played this 16 hours straight.... a must for sure for a turn based lover like XCOM (which I have all DLC and versions on xbox, comp, and playstation for XCOM2) soo this is
