WARTILE
A miniature world coming to life Experience a living, breathing tabletop video game that invites the player into a miniature universe full of small adventures set in beautifully handcrafted diorama battle boards inspired by Norse mythology to honor the Vikings! Cool-down based combat that keeps the action flowing Wartile is a cool-down based game that keeps the action flowing, with ample opportunities to plan your moves. Although it contains the strategic elements from turn-based games, a mixture of slow down features and cool-down based gameplay maintains the tension of battle while allowing for breathing room to make tactical decisions. At its heart, Wartile is a game about positioning and tactical decision making. WARTILE is not a turn based but a real time strategy game for PC – although you might think it is turn based at first glance. But in fact, WARTILE makes use of a Cool Down based system.

Recommended on sale for fans of tactics, board games, active time battles, and party-based adventures. Fun but would benefit from more figures/units, better customization, and more developed story/characters. The ATB system is passable but clunkier than a turn-based option would have been. I would also recommend looking into Expeditions Conquistador, Blackguards, Gloomhaven, Fell Seal, Warbands Bushido, and Figure Fantasy.

Really enjoy this game. Bought it on sale, played it for 30 minutes, then bought the DLC because I loved what I saw so much. No idea why some people are complaining about the fact that it's real time and not turn based, that is seriously what makes it so much fun. Is like playing a lightning round board game where every second counts. Will update my review more as I play, but right now this is such a steal for the price they are selling it at. I find it hard to believe I will see much that would change my recommendation. Definitely worth what they are charging on the sale.

I really like the game, the strategy aspect and maps are really fun and challenging but my biggest issues are the bugs like grabbing a figure and it moves another one or the the bugging out and not letting you grab items and stuff you need to for the level to be beaten. I had to restart alot of levels due to these bugs. If you can look past that its a really fun game!

Cute little game. Looks good, nice narrative.
A bit on the short side and could maybe use some more tactical depth. Otherwise it's fine.

A nice small little game. It's not super deep. Can't see enemy abilities, ground conditions, status effects, etc. Can't tell ur guys directly who to attack. The gear is awkward that you can't see what each guy has equipped. But it's simple and a fun little stratagey RPG!

I have been playing games since 1982 and have played a lot! And I feel bad because I got this game on a hefty discount, and it is brilliant, and the devs really deserve the full asking price for this. They have put together a great turn based/RTS hybrid with unique mechanics which I believe would more than satisfy fans of both genres (I myself like both but particularly turn based games). Check out the positive reviews with over 10 hours of playtime, which will give you a fair and detailed assessment of the game. Ignore the negative reviews which I found really unjustified after playing the game (and were probably written by people who do not pay attention to what they are doing, including with their lives...).
