In the turmoil and uncertainty that has followed, mercenary work, banditry and thievery across the land is abundant, as honor has long since become an almost entirely forgotten virtue.

    Now, prepare to lead a group of unscrupulous characters who revel in such activity in a massive open world where combat, death and a thirst for riches will shape and define your day to day life. You are not special, the chosen one or a once in a millennia hero ushering in a new era of peace. Your goal is solely to survive and thrive in this harsh and hostile world.

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

    A creative merge of survival simulation, turn-based combat and tactical RPG.

    The world of Wartales is more complex than it first appeared. Once I settled down and paid attention to the depth that Wartales offers, I finally started to enjoy my time playing. Wartales is full of rules and mechanics to master. There is plenty of land to explore and mischief to be had, and although the character and party progression seem thin at first, there is a wealth of advancement options layered into the gameplay.

    Don't be fooled by its drab exterior, Wartales is a deep and richly rewarding exercise in party creation.

    We played Wartales for about seventy hours with the desire to play it again to try to manage the party in a completely different way. This is probably the best compliment we can pay to the Shiro Games game, which after Evoland and Northgard has created another little gem, perhaps a little rough in certain aspects and with some annoying problems, but certainly worthy of being played and in its own original way in approaching the genre of role-playing games.

    Wartales offers a fantastic sandbox to explore. The nature of this system implies a rather insipid storyline and uneven pace, but in the end, the real treasure is the mercenaries you meet along the way. For those looking for a strategy sandbox with good depth in which to invest many hours, this is a choice that is hard to ignore.

    Wartales is an interesting tactical game mixed with survival elements. It has an engaging and fun combat, but the severe lacks of resources makes it a bit frustrating.

    Wartales walks far enough off the beaten path to be interesting, but it isn’t quite bold or elegant enough to be essential.

    90 hours of playing so far and I will surely start again to try and optimize a brand new team.    One of the best game I have played this year.

Demanding in development. Characters get tired too quickly. Exploration is difficult but enjoyable. The game is too boring at times. Interesting crafting, there are a lot of dependencies, but also difficult to collect. Overall, the game is very complicated to master, which makes you want to play all the time. Just when you think you've got it straight, it suddenly turns out that your companions require payment, or you've fought a pack of wolves and you don't have enough money for healing.… Expand

Graphics, gameplay and everything else looks mediocre. Seems like a waste of time. It's a game that has been in development for so long and still hasn't made enough progress to rise above mediocre. It's just one of the first attempts of a company with no budget and not enough team. The new game they will make with a bigger budget in the following years may be a good thing, but this is not good enough. It still makes more sense to play Warband instead of this.… Expand
