Play Overview
Wargroove (2019) is a fantasy war game, similar to Advanced Wars from the Gameboy era, where players take turns in a variety of battles. Computer-controlled and human opponents compete to achieve objectives and be the last player remaining.
Wargroove is easy to pick up and accessible but players need to learn how to use the different units in specific situations to master the game. This encourages deep thinking and strategic play.
Free additional content, Double Trouble, adds a campaign for two players to work through collaboratively. This also adds new commanders and troops.
