A fascinating Tactical RPG that could have managed its resources to better some key aspects of its universe and its gameplay. We hope for a sequel, or a big DLC.
A wonderful simulator of a mercenary band, with so much content it’s going to last you for a long time. The story of your party is told through many small vignettes rather than a coherent story, but you can shape your marauders however you want. The turn-based combat is fun, so are the complex RPG systems. Dozens of hours of fun are guaranteed here.
Even if it looks rather sober at first sight, Wartales is a rich and interesting game, with a neat content. Leading your mercenaries around the world, taking advantage of local opportunities in your own way, and fighting freely is addictive. There's also enough variety in exploration and encounters to keep you on your toes. The combat system is well thought out, with solid fundamentals and innovative elements. While a lot of effort has been put into making it accessible, it still rewards observation and experimentation, which may appeal to players who don't like to be held by the hand, but others may feel a little lost.
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.
This game is a pure gem. With every hour spent playing it, one discovers it more and more. It is simply beautiful. For me, it's the HoMM 3 equivalent of our time.

If you enjoyed playing Battle Brothers, Wartales is a great alternative. The exploration and adventure elements in the field, as well as the immersive combat and farming elements, are certainly enjoyable, but the very slow pace of progression and long periods of pointless replayability make it a bit of a struggle to get to the ending.

This is a very addictive game. It's quite good in general, not without its issues, but pretty enjoyable overall. That being said, it's 1/10 Unplayable. Because devs can't seem to fix the one most atrocious problem you can have with a game - disappearing savefiles. I won't go into the details of the catastrophe, I'll just say they tried and failed time and time again, making matters only worse. So, however good the game may be, there's no point to even start playing it, if you're gonna end up without your saves one way or another. My only regret that I've wasted 50+ hours. This should never ever happen, this kind of bug is unforgivable! Thus, this review will remain as "Overwhelming Dislike" forever, in order to correctly depict a player's disappointment.

This game could be beyond amazing. However after 3 attempts of playing it. I've lost a total of 100+ hours of gameplay due to **** bugs reverting my saves losing TONS of hours of gameplay via xbox1. This game will be **** until the devs get their head out of their ass and fix it.

Summary It has been a hundred years since the world saw the fall of the once great Edoran Empire at the hands of an unprecedented plague that swept the nation. 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. ...
