Evaluation

Wartile launched in February 2018 and received a substantial free content update in September 2018 (Update 1.1, "True Viking Edition"), a paid story DLC called Hel's Nightmare in May 2020, and a free Tilt Five augmented reality integration DLC in January 2023. All three DLCs listed on the store are released, and the Hel's Nightmare post described that expansion as concluding "the Viking Saga." Since January 2023, developer communications about Wartile specifically have been limited to sale announcements and cross-promotions. The studio's focus has clearly shifted to their next game, Successor — a spiritual follow-up set in the same universe. Posts from June 2024, April 2025, and June 2025 are all primarily about Successor's development and launch into Early Access, with Wartile mentioned only in the context of discounts and bundle deals. The developer has not announced any new content for Wartile, and the store bundle is explicitly marketed as the "Wartile Complete Edition" (including the base game, Hel's Nightmare DLC, and soundtrack), signaling the game is being positioned as a finished package. With all DLC released, no unshipped content announced, the story described as concluded, and the developer's active work now directed entirely at Successor, Wartile appears to have reached the end of its content cycle as of the Tilt Five DLC release on January 31, 2023.

About this game

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.


Your control the pace of battle
With Slow Time always available you can control the speed of the fight giving you an advantageous tactical benefit in critical situations where every action counts.


Collect & level up figurines and customize their equipment and abilities
Collect and level up an array of different figurines. Customize your Warband with armor pieces, weapons, unique combat abilities and set up your deck of Battle Cards, to provide a choice of tactical options before they embark on each quest.
