Wartales is a medieval open-world tactical RPG from Shiro Games — the French studio behind Northgard — set in the aftermath of a devastating plague that shattered the Edoran Empire a century earlier. You command a small band of mercenaries in a grim, lawless world where every decision has a cost and loyalty must be earned and paid for. Manage your companions' pay, morale, food and equipment while taking contracts, raiding camps and navigating competing factions. Combat is turn-based and tactical, played on grid-based battlefield maps where positioning, flanking and skill combinations determine the outcome.
