![]() ![]() There is no intro, no tutorials, no hand-holding whatsoever: it’s definitely a “figure it out as you go” style of game. ![]() It’s a smart move, since people who may enjoy really challenging combat may not want to lean too much into the management side of things, and vice versa.Īnd just like that, you are plopped onto the map with no pomp and circumstance. I appreciate how Wartales offers two separate difficulty options: one for the combat difficulty and one for the simulation side of things, meaning your companion's hunger, wages, and tiredness levels. For now, you are restricted to starting in Tiltren County but you will unlock new regions whenever you reach them during your time in the campaign. Lastly, you get to adjust the difficulty and select a starting region. The next list forces you to choose a debuff, such as having your critical hits reduced by 3% or the danger risk during rest time increased by 10%. For example, picking “Your companions are cunning fighters” would grant you a 10% bonus to experience gained from combat. Next up, you select a positive descriptor. Whichever option you choose determines the classes of your starting companions, as well as granting one positive and one negative effect. Enter Wartales: a non-linear open-world sandbox type of game that puts you in control of a custom mercenary company roaming the medieval war-torn kingdom of Edoran.īefore you can get down to business, you need to answer a few questions to customize your ragtag group of mercenaries. Anyhow, not much has changed since then, so whenever a really interesting game with a medieval setting pings my radar, I get excited. I also gobbled up any games I could find, like Capcom’s epic beat ‘em up Knights of the Round and action-adventure King Arthur & the Knights of Justice, published by Enix. I’ve always been a fan of fantasy (low, high, Final) and as a kid I obsessed over anything set in the middle ages, especially the medieval tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round, or the stories of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men (Kevin Costner, baby!). ![]()
