'WarTile' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch Later This Month

by Rainier on Sept. 7, 2020 @ 10:03 a.m. PDT

WarTile is a medieval fantasy-themed strategy game that invites the player to select a band of miniature figurines and embark on a campaign or a multiplayer match, set on gorgeous diorama battle boards.

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!

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.

Figurines, their special abilities and your hand of godly and tactical cards are the tools to rule the board. WarTile captures the tabletop feeling, while adding its own digital style, magic and humor.

Wartile will come to Nintendo Switch by the end of this month. After months of hard work, the indie strategy adventure is now ready to unleash a horde of wild vikings to raid the Nintendo console on September 24th.

The Unreal Engine 4 powered tabletop homage comes with a bonus on Nintendo Switch as well: The previously released DLC, Hel's Nightmare, is right away included in this version of Wartile.

Hel´s Nightmare DLC

Evil powers have been awoken and a horde of Draugr Warriors is pouring into the norse regions, leaving trails of death and chaos in its wake. The King of the North watches silently as villages are pillaged and its civilians captured and brought to Hel’s Pillar.

Once again your fellowship must raise arms against the undead threat. Enjoy five brand new handcrafted battle boards, continuing the story after Niflheim. Each battle board is offering variated tactical challenges, set in a unique mood and style. Lead your Viking fellowship into the Hel's Nightmare accompanied by the new hero Ogier the Dane.
