The world has fallen into chaos after the fall of the mighty Edoran Empire and has become rife with violence and crime. A perfect world for the medieval mercenary…

The plague that devastated the Edoran nation and brought the mighty empire to its knees is a hundred years in the past. The world has descended into chaos, with morals and good virtues being but vague memories in a hazy past.

Playing as a mercenary leader, players must lead a band of greedy men of a sketchy nature in a neverending quest to satisfy their eternal lust for more and more riches. They must fight to survive and thrive in a world dominated by violence and thievery where death is a constant companion to everyday life.

The vast open world is filled with opportunity. There are villages, mines, historical artifacts, and abandoned camps to explore and raid. 

The game boasts an advanced tactical turn-based combat system and allows players to recruit new companions, develop skills and abilities, etc through RPG progression, and even allows players to accept contracts and claim bounties.

Players can craft new weapons and tools, and can also develop and improve their camp with new amenities and tools that will boost morale and make their band of mercenaries stronger and more effective. This can all be done using an “intuitive” and “deep” RPG progression system that adds complexity and an infinite variety of possibilities to the game.

Wartales is developed by Shiro Games and is available for purchase on Steam.
