Wartales is an open-world tactical RPG from Shiro Games, the French indie developer behind Northgard and Evoland. As this mercenary management game is currently residing in Steam’s Early Access, it’s exciting to see forward progress as the developers announce a new region for players to explore. With this comes a slew of other features for prepared adventurers.
The Forsaken village is one of these features, where players must silently explore unless they wish to be attacked by the newest enemies. The plague-ridden are poor souls lost to the corruption of the plague and seem very much based on the zombie stereotypes. Hordes of them wander the land and cannot be eliminated, so the player must flee to escape certain death. Some new rules for combat, such as “last X turns”/”Reach the escape point” really add to the desperation that players will be sure to experience in this update. Along with these big additions, a new level limit, camp items and recipes, and additions to animal taming have been added.
All of these have been dropped within the new region named Ludern. Inspired by Scottish landscapes, players will have to navigate in the swamp while avoiding murder by the wildlife, as well as some new human enemies. This new area is heavily corrupted and lost to the plague, so watch out for those hordes and forsaken cities as you explore!
Wartales is currently available in Early Access on Steam. Check out the new trailer below and let us know your thoughts in the comments! You can also find more info on Wartales here.
