Wartorn is now available in Early Access on the Epic Games Store and Steam, offering a roguelite adventure featuring real-time battles to challenge you and "a crew of fantasy creatures" (thanks Jaysen). The Official Launch Trailer shows off what's been described as a spiritual successor to Myth: The Fallen Lords, and the launch is 33% off for the next week. A post from developer Stray Kite Studios has an Early Access roadmap, while this update asks players for feedback to help steer the process. Here's how things work:
Wartorn is a single-player, squad-based, roguelite where players play as Yara and Elani, sisters who have been driven from their home and must traverse the wartorn Isles of Talaur to reach the safety of Beynun, their ancestral fortress. Harness the elements in fierce real-time battles while upgrading a crew of fantasy creatures as you search for your family.
Wartorn features a systemic, emergent gameplay system using the elements of fire, water, tar, plant, and lightning. Strategically choose your squads to master the elements and environment against hordes of enemies. Water extinguishes fire, tar amplifies fire, electricity crackles across the ranks in wet conditions, and water can heal plant-based units. And that’s just scratching the surface!
