Wargroove 2 is being developed by German indie games studio and turn-based RPG veterans, Robotality. After working in partnership with Chucklefish for many years (Halfway and Pathway), Robotality are being handed the reins to the award-winning Wargroove IP to bring a fresh perspective on the franchise.
We adored the first game, haling it a triumph of old-school design and presentation, while also pointing out its time-sink and challenging curves weren't for the feint of heart. Hopefully pacing and more have been addressed in this sequel.
