Wartales: The Mercenaries Edition + Full DLC - Steam Offline Account

Wartales is an expansive turn-based tactical RPG with sandbox gameplay set in a dark medieval fantasy world. A century has passed since the Edoran Empire collapsed due to an unprecedented plague that ravaged the land. Now, the region is overrun with mercenaries, bandits, and thieves, and honor has all but become a forgotten virtue.

Players lead a group of morally questionable mercenaries across a vast open world, where combat, death, and the pursuit of wealth shape everyday life. You are not the hero of this story, nor are you destined to usher in a new era of peace. Your sole objective is to survive and thrive in this harsh, hostile world at any cost. Only the bravest and most ambitious can hope to have their stories remembered in Wartales.

The game features a turn-based tactical combat system that demands careful planning and strategic thinking. Players must choose the best combinations of characters, equipment, and tactics to succeed in each unique battle. Positioning is crucial, as every decision can mean the difference between life and death.

The party management system offers impressive depth. Players can recruit new companions with diverse specialties, skill sets, weapon preferences, and personalities. Each character can take on various professions such as cooking, blacksmithing, fishing, woodcutting, artifact appraisal, and even petty theft. The RPG progression and crafting systems allow for customization of skills, gear, and the group’s appearance.

Survival elements are seamlessly integrated into the gameplay. Players must gather essential resources such as raw food and leather, then craft them into cooked meals, clothing, and useful items. Characters grow tired as they travel, requiring them to set up camp and rest when exhausted. If mercenaries are not fed during camp, they may desert. Players must also manage wages, which are paid every three days.

The vast open world is filled with intriguing locations to explore—from bustling villages to the ruins of a bygone era, from abandoned mines and ancient tombs to enemy camps. Players gradually piece together the history of this unforgiving world through exploration. There is no main quest or overarching storyline forcing progression—this is a story about forging your own destiny.

The contract and bounty system is diverse. Players can take on missions ranging from protecting innocents from bandits to eliminating the most notorious figures in the land. No profit is too small to ignore. The game incorporates economic simulation elements, requiring players to find ways to fund their growing mercenary company.

The co-op mode supports up to four players simultaneously. Players can plan tactics and devise strategies together before facing hostile inhabitants roaming this mysterious land. Resources such as money, loot, and supplies are shared, creating a tightly cooperative experience. End each day with a hearty meal by a blazing campfire alongside loyal companions, building camaraderie and forging strong bonds to overcome any challenge.

Additionally, the The Fief DLC allows players to rule and build their own territory, produce goods, manage citizens, and shape its identity through laws and ideals. Wartales delivers a deep and challenging tactical experience for fans of party-based RPG management.
