Wartales is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Shiro Games. Set in a grim medieval world devastated by plague and political collapse, the game places players in command of a mercenary company struggling to earn a living amid widespread chaos and conflict.
Unlike traditional fantasy RPGs focused on saving kingdoms or defeating world-ending villains, Wartales emphasizes survival, freedom, and practical decision-making. The world has already fallen into decline, and your goal is simply to endure, prosper, and carve out a place for your company within it.
Players begin with a small group of mercenaries and gradually expand their company by recruiting new members encountered throughout the world. Each recruit possesses unique traits, professions, strengths, weaknesses, and combat specializations. Building a balanced and effective team becomes one of the game's central challenges.
The game features a large open world divided into regions filled with settlements, ruins, forests, mountains, mines, camps, and dangerous wilderness areas. Exploration is a major part of the experience, with players constantly discovering new quests, opportunities, hidden treasures, and threats.
Combat takes place in turn-based tactical battles. Positioning, terrain usage, character abilities, and unit synergy are crucial for victory. Different classes such as swordsmen, archers, spearmen, brutes, and rangers offer diverse tactical options that encourage careful planning.
One of the defining features of Wartales is its company management system. Players must feed their mercenaries, pay wages, maintain equipment, and keep morale high. Failing to manage resources effectively can lead to desertion, financial collapse, or even death.
The profession system adds additional depth. Characters can learn various trades such as blacksmithing, cooking, mining, fishing, alchemy, woodcutting, and tinkering. These professions provide valuable resources and crafting opportunities that support long-term survival.
Crafting plays a major role in progression. Weapons, armor, camp equipment, medicine, lockpicks, and consumables can all be produced or upgraded. Better equipment significantly improves combat effectiveness and helps the company tackle tougher challenges.
Narrative choices often present morally ambiguous situations. Players may choose to act honorably, exploit others for profit, engage in crime, or pursue personal gain. These decisions influence reputation and relationships with various factions throughout the world.
The game also includes a camp management system where mercenaries rest, heal injuries, craft equipment, and perform specialized tasks. Expanding and improving the camp provides valuable bonuses and helps sustain larger companies.
Visually, Wartales adopts a realistic medieval art style. Villages, battlefields, forests, and mountain ranges are detailed and atmospheric, reinforcing the harsh tone of the setting. Character animations and combat effects emphasize practicality rather than fantasy spectacle.
Multiplayer options allow friends to control different mercenaries within the same company, adding cooperative tactical gameplay to the experience.
