Wartile

Deck13 have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: Wartile, a Strategy Adventure game developed by Playwood Project. It will be released on September 24th in Europe and North America.

Here’s some details:

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!
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.

This version of the game will include the Hel’s Nightmare DLC:

Evil powers have been awoken and a horde of Draugr Warriors is pouring into the norse regions, leaving trails of death and chaos in its wake. The King of the North watches silently as villages are pillaged and its civilians captured and brought to Hel’s Pillar.
Once again your fellowship must raise arms against the undead threat. Enjoy five brand new handcrafted battle boards, continuing the story after Niflheim. Each battle board is offering variated tactical challenges, set in a unique mood and style. Lead your Viking fellowship into the Hel’s Nightmare accompanied by the new hero Ogier the Dane.

Wartile (Switch – eShop) comes out on September 24th in Europe and North America.
