Steam is running a sharp 60% discount on Wartales, Shiro Games’ grim medieval tactical RPG. You take charge of a mercenary band in a land bruised by war and plague, where silver is scarce and mercy scarcer. If grit, planning, and emergent stories are your jam, now’s a great time to march.
A harsh, open world that’s yours to chart
Wartales doesn’t hand you a golden arrow and call it a day. There’s no imposed main quest—just a wide, war-torn map and the freedom to decide who you help, who you avoid, and what risks you can afford. Survival sits at the core: manage fatigue, treat injuries, keep the party fed, and make the kind of choices that echo for days. When steel meets steel, turn-based encounters demand forethought and calm positioning. Panic is expensive.
Between battles, the world feels convincingly grounded in the low Middle Ages. You’ll poke into abandoned camps, descend into mines, and sift through forgotten ruins, each place hinting at a time when order had a name and a price.
And it’s busywork with bite: hunt to keep bellies full, craft to shore up gear, fish when the river’s kinder than the road, or steal when it isn’t. There’s no magic wand here—only systems that interlock, reward planning, and punish haste. To read Danganronpa reaches 10M sales with chaos and charm intact
Tactics that reward discipline
Fights are measured, deliberate, and often unforgiving. A sloppy engagement becomes a cascade of wounds, lost supplies, and nights spent limping to the next fire. Play like a strategist, not a hero, and Wartales opens up—every turn a small, satisfying puzzle, every victory a hard-earned exhale.
Sometimes the best move is to walk away and live to take another contract. That’s part of the story too.
Prefer a shared war story? Wartales supports co-op for up to four players. Manage a group online, coordinate turns, plan ambushes, and divvy up the spoils. The loop shifts from solitary scheming to whispered tactics and shouted saves—a little tabletop energy, a lot of camaraderie.
Why jump in now
If you love deep, immersive tactical RPGs with real survival stakes and thorny moral choices, Wartales is aimed straight at you. The current 60% off on Steam makes a demanding world feel a lot more welcoming to newcomers and returning captains alike.
