Check Out: Wartales

[@Elgar337]

I love Mount & Blade, and I love Battle Brothers even more. I've had Wartales on my wishlist forever. Looks like the time has come.

[@fiyamage]

It was very good in Early Access and the devs were super responsive to suggestions. I think you will enjoy this one if you like Mount and Blade and BB. Good luck!

[@kopicat2429]

BB and M&B are great games. I've got about 1k hours in those games combined. 500 of which belong to Battle Brothers :P If this game is anything similar to those two, which it kinda looks, this is absolutely worth 16 euro on steam.

As a console player, not something on my radar, but here's a comment for the great Al-Gor-ithm, hallowed are its ones and zeros! Praise the Elder God!

[@michaelh3715]

Good man!

Let's just hope it comes to console!

If you also get a pc you'll become my favourite person.

[@Saregos]

What's terrifying is that it's less "Elder God" and more "Newborn Cthulu". Still eldritch and unknowable, but without the comfort of knowing it's been around for a while.

[@millesabords1654]

Ô generous non PC-believer, thanks for your offering to Allmighty Al-Gor-ithm

[@justinsnodgrass2818]

Have over 200 hours in the game and have played since it became an early access. Game is good. Extremely good. Only real complaint I have is that sometimes the management of your group becomes the main focus and everything else gets dwarfed by how much time is required to do it. Resources become a huge chunk of time for fetching and finding which can overwhelm the main story. The main story starts a bit slow, but once it revs up it becomes a wild ride. 8/10 highly recommend it. There is a ton of content and even plenty of secrets to discover as well as hidden classes.

[@Roundbrow]

Big fan of Shiro's other games and I'm definitely looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for covering it Mortym!

[@Terron29]

Have had this on my wishlist for ages. Think it looks great!

[@Taranchule]

This game sounds right up my alley! I once tried to imagine what kind of video game I'd like my homebrew fantasy setting to feature in, What I came up with was combat and exploration like the Owlcat Pathfinder games, but with an adventuring company management very much like what was described here. Needless to say, I'm intrigued!

[@betterthantelevision]

Great game, really drew me in, but I forced myself to stop playing because I didn't want to spoil the finished product for myself. Looking forward to diving back in.

[@graylander4362]

These are the type of games I enjoy most. I don't have to be some fancy hero instead, I can be a murder hobo just like Gary Gygax intended 😉

[@quarter2793]

I've really enjoyed this game and was playing MP with a buddy before life got too busy. It's been about 1-2 months since we've played, and it's crazy how much stuff they've been adding. For sure, it is much more approachable than battle bros and a ton of fun.

[@AlexcendreM]

Wartales is such a nice game! Been waiting for the release for quite some times before jumping back in. Great video as usual!

[@stynkus]

Been enjoying this game since it released into EA. Been quite pleased with the way they've been handling updates and how the games has progressed.

[@Cainexavier]

I played a free demo of this way back when and purchased the game afterwards to support the development. Have been eagerly awaiting full release and will for sure enjoy many hours of gameplay. Thank you for an awesome vid, and have a great day!

[@JohnDoe-hl3xz]

I appreciate this customizable level of challenge in a game, it grants a bit of replayability

[@szarywilk489]

Looks like less complex, less punishing Battle Brothers

[@kaidorade1317]

I really like the game’s accessibility options! It’s cool to see more devs adding stuff like this. Definitely adds to replay ability as well

[@molliethomas2585]

I've had my eye on this game for a while. Thanks for talking about it and gaining it more attention

[@Jasta85]

This and Everspace 2 coming out within days of each other is pretty nuts, my gaming schedule for the next month is now booked.

[@georgezachos7322]

I've been playing Everspace 2 like crazy. Great game. After I'm done, it's Wartales!

[@10brucelees]

Been slowly playing this for a few months on and off. It's genuinely a really good and satisfying game for a lot of the reasons covered here. The latest big patch ironed out a few gripes I had with it and playing on region locked is honestly a blast. Plus it looks good , a big + over something like battle brothers which i personally struggled to get past the basic graphics. I recommend fwiw. ps. i didnt even realised it released with another big patch!

[@Legion12Centurion]

The save options is great. I want more devs to allow us to choose not force us into how we save. I had to mod free saving into I think it was Fallout 4's survival mode because the devs forced only saves in beds. And it was horrible, because the game had bugs, glitches and things out of your control that made it a nightmare. It also made no sence to save by sleeping. Options for us to pick is always preferable.

[@LowSettings]

If you like this then oh boy will you love Battle Brothers

[@cybersurf5]

Any views on this vs BattleBros? I found Wartales-at least in beta-a somewhat empty experience, without much deep narrative or lore building that made my actions feel impactful (more than just this brigand is now no longer threatening that village) or made me care about the world. If I’m drawn into the setting and feel I’m influencing it in a meaningful way I don’t care how good mechanics are-it’s why I love Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 1&2, Fallout 2 and WOTR. Not sure if I will pick up Wartales again unless above was addressed.

[@cordeliacentauri1737]

Strongly recommend this game for anyone who is interested in strategy games.

[@wdf70]

Looks interesting. World map has a Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord vibe. While I love the army building that comes with that game, it is fun to be more humble and keep things small and focus on a few well built dudes than an entire army. Minus the turn based aspect, I see a lot of similarities between the two games. Will definitely have to check it out when the next paycheck comes in. Also Adaptive vs Region locked is a GODSEND that more open world games need to offer.

[@sots7128]

definitley considered picking this up recently, glad you finally uploaded a more updated video on it!! :D

[@coconutologist]

It's always good to see you get sponsored content. Onward 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@1georgekitchen]

I have 200 hours in this game already. Highly recommended for role players who like creating parties of 12 and losing most of them over time and thinking up their stories along the way.

[@johnreynolds2512]

Had never heard of this game, glad I sub to this channel because the title looks to be right up my alley and Steam has it 25% off through next week.

[@AsasinekPL]

I have this game on my wishlist for 6 months now, but i couldn't convince myself to buy it. I love how much info you gave with so little time. Thanks! I'll be buying it cause it seems like a better version of Battle Brothers.

[@graylander4362]

It will have to be an amazing game to be better than Battle Brothers. I hope it can be in the same ballpark as BB.

[@ivansalamon7028]

@@graylander4362 Agreed. Battle Brothers is a whole other league. This game is gorgeous and has decent gameplay, but BB has the best turn based combat I had seen, period, and its models, artstyle, and especially armor and weaponry are so sublime. BB conveys much better the brutal medieval world and what it would probably be like for a mercenary company in a low medieval setting, while simultaneously having amazing gameplay. Not saying Wartales doesn't, but it definitely feels more gamey. BB will never be unthroned if a mercenary-company running genre ever becomes a thing.

[@supervastgut1568]

Ive been playing Wartales for a long time. I had no idea it was even in pre-release. I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in yesterday to its "official release" The new content is nice and the inclusion of voiced character s now is awesome. Such a relaxing game that can either be a casually played game or go into it with a hardcore mindset.

[@Dubbel12]

I really love this game. Its the little things that make it great. I hired a new bowman to my squad and she accidentally shot an arrow to my other teammates back. In the camp she then proceeded to complain how she is a bad shot and I got and option where she could train her to be better.

[@smalon75]

Glad to see this confirmed for release on GOG, looking forward to it.

Easy wishlist addition for me. The "mount and blade: warband" nostalgia might be speaking, but this looks extremely promising. Looking forward to your review!

[@MrWhybull]

Another 1.0! I’m so happy to see developers who follow through!

[@Jamaipanese]

I am trying this game because I like how you summed up what it is all about. Kinda getting Dungeon Siege meets Mount and Blade vibes. Downloading now

[@robcampion9917]

One thing I noticed after a recent update all the starting parties are different now, originally the apprentice and deserter starting parties were the same.

[@jmjoue]

Got the game a couple of months after release but I was waiting for it to be patched and haven't played it yet. Seems like now is a great time to finally dive in. I like the fact that you can customize the look of your crew to fit what you want. Makes it more personnal.

[@UltronIV]

I've had this on my wishlist for a while, thanks for the breakdown. I made sure to use your affiliate link when I purchased, cheers!

Bought this game over a year ago. It's finally full release. Awesome.

[@clarencealger8380]

Party dynamics? Love? YES!

[@Topp1ns]

I like hiding enemy turns as a difficulty option as well. Makes things harder without enemies just being weirdly powerful or something. It's great so far!

[@millesabords1654]

YEAH ! My new goal in life is to become a Wartales expert. With the release of the full game, it is said that my mercenaries, skills and weapons have been nerved a lot... This sounds good because on my first run life became too easy, after some levels, with all legendary weapons. I love that illusionnary slow paced ambience : music, open exploration, choosing your combats may make you think you have all the time you want. NOT true ! you're actually in desperate hurry 🙂 Thank you Mortim for your presentation, and thanks to Shiro Games for my many hours of good time wandering between Cortia and Gosenberg

[@bkflex55]

I started this game quite a while ago, just after the early access started. And I loved it. Then my laptop died. Well, it's been a year and I have a new laptop so I need to start this up again! Thanks for the video reminder.😅

So I played this game a while back and although the combat was solid I had a hard time managing and understanding some aspects of it. I got burnt out pretty quickly and struggled to have any desire to play it again. Now I’m not saying it’s a bad game by any means but if you are not used to games like warblade or the like you might really struggle to get into this game.

[@shawngillogly6873]

If it wasn't for the knowledge/paths system, I would write this off as a more accessible, less developed, clone of Battle Brothers. But that system does give it a spin BB doesn't have. And makes it worth playing in it's own right, imho.. Which it frankly needs. Because the economics and enemy variety are markedly inferior to BB

I played it some during early access and enjoyed it, but also ... it kinda felt overhyped. With early access games people tend to kinda exaggerate how much they believe the game will still develop - usually the final version is more "more of what's already there" than "your imaginary perfect awesome game". I suspect this will be basically like that too.

[@FallenStarGMV]

Does the game have a scenario mode or create your own adventure or map maker or editor?
