Evaluation

Wargroove launched on February 1, 2019 and received one major free DLC expansion — Wargroove: Double Trouble — on February 6, 2020, which added a co-op story campaign, new commanders, new units, and more. That DLC's soundtrack was released on February 25, 2020, marking the completion of all announced content for the original game. All three items in the game's DLC list have been released, and no unreleased DLC entries exist on the store. The developer's subsequent activity has been focused on Wargroove 2 (a separate game that launched October 5, 2023) and physical collector's editions bundling both games. A limited physical edition combining Wargroove 1, Double Trouble, and Wargroove 2 was announced and released in May 2024, described explicitly as a "complete collection." There have been no announcements of new content for the original Wargroove since the Double Trouble DLC shipped in February 2020. The developer's last communication touching on Wargroove 1 (May 2024) was about the physical bundle and framed it as a celebration of a completed series, not a platform for future additions. With all DLC shipped, no outstanding commitments, and no post-2020 content updates to the base game, Wargroove is a complete product.

About this game

Command an army, customize battlefields, and challenge your friends, in this richly detailed return to retro turn-based combat!

When war breaks out in the Kingdom of Cherrystone, the young Queen Mercia must flee her home. Pursued by her foes, the only way to save her kingdom is to travel to new lands in search of allies. But who will she meet along the way, and what sinister challenges will she face?
