Wartales Patient Gamer Review | Worth Your Time in 2025?

Wartales Patient Gamer Review | Worth Your Time in 2025?

Ever wondered if Wartales is worth your time in 2025? In this Patient Gamer review, we dive into the gritty medieval world of Wartales – an open-world tactical RPG – to answer that very question. As someone who waits for games to mature and often picks them up on sale, I'm here to tell you whether WarTales is still worth your time two years after its release.

WarTales is an open-world, turn-based RPG set in a medieval low fantasy world. You lead a band of mercenaries, exploring a dynamic open world, engaging in tactical combat, and managing your group's survival. The game supports co-op play for up to four players.

Since its release in 2023, WarTales has received several updates and expansions, including 'Pirates of Belerion,' 'The Tavern Opens!', 'The Pits,' and 'The Skelmar Invasion.' These have added new regions, quests, and gameplay mechanics, enhancing the game's depth and replayability. The fifth community update in early 2025 brought AI improvements, balancing adjustments, and new maps.
