Wartales Review - Conclusion after full walkthrough

#gaming #review #wartales #wartalesgameplay Wartales is a deep tactical RPG sandbox clearly designed for players who value systems, management, and tactical decision-making over cinematic storytelling. You lead a mercenary band across a large, open world, taking contracts, exploring ruins, engaging in regional storylines, and gradually shaping a team of capable fighters. Combat is turn-based, easy to grasp, yet rich in nuance thanks to varied enemies and battlefields. Character progression offers flexible builds through classes, skills, traits, and respec options, while crafting, professions, and a large technology tree add long-term depth. Camp and base management play a major role: you must maintain morale, relationships, equipment, finances, and logistics, with DLCs expanding management systems even further. The game features an enormous amount of gear, upgrades, and recipes, encouraging experimentation and long-term planning. However, Wartales lacks a strong overarching narrative, which may disappoint story-focused players, and its complexity can be intimidating for newcomers. Balance issues between adaptive and region-locked difficulty modes remain debated, and some battles can feel overly long. Overall, Wartales is a demanding, content-rich tactical RPG that strongly rewards patience, planning, and mastery of its mechanics. 0:00 Intro 0:43 World map 0:52 Combat 1:28 Characters progression 2:17 Crafting 2:33 Base management 3:14 Gear 3:36 Technologies and recipes 4:10 Story 4:31 Entry threshold 4:41 Balance and some other gameplay problems 5:32 Final thoughts Don't forget to subscribe    / @etherealstronghold
