Wartales is a combination of a strategy game and an RPG. It was developed by the independent Shiro Games - the developers of the warmly received Northgard.

Plot

Wartales is set in a fictional world inspired by medieval Europe. A hundred years ago the great Edoran Empire, once dominating all the other nations, fell to a plague. Since then, the country fell into chaos, law and honor have become meaningless and its people will stop at nothing to survive. To make matters worse, the horrible plague is still reaping lives, causing the infected to grow ravenous for meat. Those who fail to hold back their hunger start gradually losing their senses, becoming zombie-like.

The game's main protagonist, just like all the others, tries to survive in this dangerous world, leading a group of adventurers undertaking various jobs across the land.
