We’re excited to officially announce a very, very limited collector's edition of Wargroove 1+2 for the Nintendo Switch storming in May 16th.

In collaboration with the wonderful guys at Robotality and Super Rare Games, we’ve produced a COMPLETE COLLECTION of these two critically acclaimed turn-based tactics classics for you to treasure.🏴‍☠️

In 2016, we set out to create a turn-based tactics game, driven by nostalgia for an era of handheld strategy games. Wargroove came to be, through a desire to capture the retro-feel of these titles, and a passionate community of tactics fans who cheered us on along the way.🧡

In 2020, we partnered with our great friends and strategy game developers at Robotality, with a vision of creating Wargroove 2. We expanded the world of Aurania, introducing new factions, stories and game modes.

The Wargroove series is one brimming with challenging, strategic gameplay that we couldn’t help but keep growing. It is our pleasure to bring you the full series: Wargroove, its DLC Double Trouble and its sequel Wargroove 2 all in a single cartridge, to play on handhelds, just as we loved to do on our Game Boy Advances.

The Physical Nintendo Switch Edition of Wargroove 1+2 invades on May 16th with:

• Unique Box Art featuring original artwork by Lucas “Midio” Tafuri.
  
• Region Free cart containing Wargroove, it’s DLC Double Trouble, and its sequel Wargroove 2
  
• 2 Sets of Wargroove Trading Cards 
  
• Exclusive Wargroove Stickers
  
• Exclusive Wargroove Postcard

Hey everyone! ⚔️

We’re stopping by to wish a very happy 5th anniversary to Wargroove! It's been an exciting year, with the reveal of the sequel, Wargroove 2, we’ve continued to expand the world of Aurania and build our community into a hub of enthusiastic tactics fans! To celebrate this special day, both Wargroove and Wargroove 2 will be on sale from February 1st to February 8th.

Wargroove came to life as a love letter to the classic turn-based tactical games we adored and wanted to see on modern platforms. Fueled by nostalgia and an excitement to build something new after Starbound, in 2017 we got to work building a new strategy title with a retro feel. As Aurania and the factions of Cherrystone, Felheim, Floran and Heavensong came to life throughout development, we developed new twists to keep the genre fresh. With a unique Groove system, dynamic gameplay and a custom campaign and map editor, Wargroove became a full-featured title.

Wargroove not only became a labour of love by the development team, but also became a bustling community of passionate tactics fans who love creating fan art, custom campaigns, mods and our very own thriving competitive community, Groove of War. You can join our community Discord[discord.gg] to see what all the buzz is about 🐝

After launching Wargroove in 2019, we followed up on Wargroove’s success with an all-new co-operative DLC, Double Trouble - a free update which brought a new story and a brand-new Outlaw faction into the mix. In 2020, the baton passed to our friends at Robotality, who took over with their own turn-based strategy experience and expanded Wargroove even further with Wargroove 2, introducing a plethora of new units, 2 new factions and 3 story-rich campaigns.

The anniversary sale is our little way of showing gratitude for your unwavering support. The Wargroove community wouldn’t be the same without your enthusiastic engagement and feedback. Thank you all for all the support you’ve shown Wargroove over the last 5 years. We hope you’ve enjoyed the additions made to Wargroove 2. Here’s to many more years of tactical gameplay goodness!

Hi folks!

Caoimhe here, Senior Producer on Wargroove 2! After 3 years of development, I’m happy to let you all know that Wargroove 2 is out now on PC & Nintendo Switch!

We’re so happy to be bringing you a whole host of new content including new factions, stories, units, in-depth editor tools, and our brand-new roguelike mode, Conquest!

Today we’re launching in English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Japanese will follow very shortly! Stay tuned to our Twitter[wargroove.com] and Wargroove Devblog[wargroove.com] for the latest updates.

Wargroove 2 has been a delight to make. The team has been working on the game since May 2020 while many of us were locked down and unable to leave our homes. Throughout Wargroove 2’s development, I have found such joy, camaraderie, and inspiration from my fellow developers. To Robotality and the rest of the development team: I am proud and honored to have been part of this journey with you.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive critical reception that Wargroove 2 has received so far, and are pleased to have been able to improve on the foundation the Chucklefish team built during the first Wargroove. Taking on this sequel was indeed a colossal task, but we're absolutely thrilled to have done it the justice it deserves. We're excited to see how far we've come and can't wait for you to join us on this journey!

Players can grab Wargroove 2 today on PC & Nintendo Switch. While you don’t need to know the story of the first Wargroove to hop into Wargroove 2, you can also grab the Wargroove Bundle that has both games for a cheeky 10% off.

Oh, and great news - Wargroove 2 supports crossplay! If you're on the hunt for fellow strategy enthusiasts to game with, why not drop by our official Wargroove Discord[discord.gg]? It's the perfect place to make new pals and challenge some formidable foes.

Already marched into the world of Wargroove 2? We'd love to hear your thoughts! If you have any feedback or suggestions, don't hesitate to share them with us in this Steam Forum thread. Your input helps us make the game even better, so let's hear it!

We also revealed the latest faction coming to Wargroove 2: The Faahri Republic. A nation of curious mouse-folk who have landed in Aurania on a scholarly expedition. What the Faahri Republic lacks in military experience, they more than make up for with academic theory. Equipped with mysterious crystal technology, Commanders Lytra, Pistil, and Rhomb must work together in pursuit of information for their mysterious benefactors.

Hi everyone! 👋
We’re excited to announce that Wargroove 2 will be taking part in this Steam Next Fest. That means you’ll be able to play the demo from June 19th - 26th, starting at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST / 2am JST / 1am CST.
The demo will be playable in English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese (Japanese players, we'll have news for you soon!).

In this demo, we’re giving you a look at Conquest, a single-player roguelike mode completely new to Wargroove 2, as well as access to online and local co-op Multiplayer skirmishes! If you played the PAX Wargroove 2 demo, fear not, we’re made some changes based on initial player feedback and have new commanders on the roster: Caesar, Mercia, Emeric and Dark Mercia.

Check out the Steam Next Fest demo teaser trailer here:
⚔️ What’s Conquest mode?
Hands up if you crave permadeath! 🙌 In Conquest, you’ll take on quick-paced, bite-sized battles where every choice is permanent. Once you’ve selected your starting troop, plan your route to victory as you take on a series of challenges leading up to the demo’s boss.
The Steam Next Fest demo is, of course, an early snapshot of what you can expect from Conquest mode in the full game - with more trials to unlock with various Commanders, as you climb the ranks of this new challenging game mode!

🤔 What’s changed since the PAX East demo build?
We’ve made a few exciting changes to the build since our PAX demo, which we did a progress update on last month. Those changes are finally ready, with a changelist that includes:

• Lucky Coins (previously Blessings) are permanent
  
• Instead of one commander, you pick your commander at the beginning of the conquest. 5 commanders in total available. Selection is randomized.
  
• New items
  
• Rebalanced progression in conquest mode
  
• Conquest is a bit longer overall (2 elite fights)
  
• New events (there's a couple of new mystery events, merchant events and heal events)
  
• Dedicated recruit events (with randomized capacities)
  
• Lots of UI Tweaks + new UI elements
  
• Improved controller support
  
• Free Move mode has been added: In non-combat maps you can move around freely without turns.
  
• Improved/fixed AI in Fog of War (they don't cheat quite as directly any more)

🎮 How do I start a Multiplayer game?
In this demo you can play both Online and Local Multiplayer modes with up to 4 players, with a limited number of Commanders old and new alike at your disposal (you might notice though that we’re keeping a few a secret for now!)

To kickstart a match, select ‘Multiplayer’ from the menu and select either Local or Online. For an Online match, you can join a friend’s match by selecting the button to the bottom right and join with a code, or host a New Match and have a friend (or stranger!) join your game.
Looking for people to play with? Join our Discord[discord.gg] and find folks who want to play!

Twitch Integration
This demo build also has Twitch integration using Wargroove 2's new unit renaming feature! Simply select the Twitch icon at the bottom left of the title screen and authorize "Wargroove 2". When you spawn or recruit a new unit, it will be bestowed a name from a lovely participant in your Twitch chat!

👀 What else will be in the full game?

• 6 Factions with 22 Commanders
  
• 3 Campaigns, interwoven by an explosive conclusion
  
• 5 new units, bringing the total unit types to 26
  
• Conquest mode - the new roguelike game mode
  
• Local and Online Multiplayer

• Original OST by Dale North
  
• French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese localisation

Hey everyone,

As of today, Wargroove now features cross-play support between ALL platforms, including PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC. Wahoo! We're really happy to finally be able to complete our vision of one big, happy Wargroove community, as PS4 players now join the mix.

This means that no matter what platform of Wargroove you choose to battle on, you can enjoy competitive and cooperative multiplayer games, as well as share and play community-made maps online with friends.

From the very early stages of development, we knew that playing Wargroove multiplayer was not only incredibly fun, but also a huge part of the game's experience, which made supporting crossplay between all platforms a no-brainer for us.

As you may already know, the release of our free DLC, Wargroove: Double Trouble, on Steam earlier this year also featured a new public and private lobby system, making it quicker and easier to get stuck into an online match, no matter your platform of choice!

With today's much-awaited PS4 launch of Wargroove: Double Trouble, AND the addition of full crossplay support, we hope you'll have fun teaming up with some new players to take on our Outlaw-themed Co-Op campaign.

Have fun out there!
