Wartorn

Wartorn is a single-player, squad-based roguelite about sisters Yara and Elani, driven from their home and crossing the wartorn Isles of Talaur to reach Beynun, their ancestral fortress. You lead their caravan of fantasy creatures through real-time battles, manage your squads and search for the sisters’ family.

The journey across Talaur

The Overworld Map shows the scale of the journey and offers branching paths with unexpected outcomes. Each choice brings new challenges, and you must monitor your hope and food while caring for your squads. Dynamic narrative events can help your struggling group or cost its members their lives.

As you search the Isles of Talaur, you can meet Yara and Elani’s family. These encounters reveal parts of the story and grant heirlooms that provide new advantages and abilities in future runs.

Squad-based combat

Recruit squads of fantasy creatures, including goblins, elves, demons and treefolk, as you travel. Each squad has different characteristics and unique abilities, adding strategic options to your caravan. Choose which squads to bring into battle and use battlefield positioning, squad combinations and abilities to prevail.

Losses cost morale, and if the caravan loses hope, the run ends. Dynamic squad management and unpredictable events make each run different.

Elemental battles

Combat uses fire, water, tar, plants and lightning, with effects that interact with one another and the environment. Water extinguishes fire, tar amplifies it, electricity spreads across ranks in wet conditions, and water can heal plant-based units. Choose squads strategically to use these interactions against hordes of enemies.
