Wartile Video Review – A Bold New Strategy Game Falls Just Short

Wartile Video Review

Strategy games may not be for everyone, but they don’t get enough credit where credit is due. While there may be a number of copy-cat titles out there, the scope of unique and varied strategy game styles is impressive, so trying to create something fresh is quite admirable. Playwood Project’s Wartile is a strategy series that takes visual elements of classic table-top gaming and blends it with real-time strategy in a unique form of chess-like combat.

With nicely detailed boards and plenty of upgrading to be done for your units, Wartile sets itself apart from the standard experience of strategy games – however, does that make it a worthy game? Check out our video review below and see for yourself.

Wartile is a 3D strategy game mixing elements of classic table-top and strategy games. Players will select their units with a variety of skills and travel across a hexagonal-grid board in an attempt to vanquish their foes. With a number of upgrade options and chess-like strategy to employ, Wartile has all the right makings of a successful and wholly unique strategy game, however, it falters with a lack of any solid story – an odd note considering the heavy use of Norse mythology. The gameplay feels a bit too easy for the strategy enthusiast, and with a lack of challenge comes a lack of interest.
