Wartile Review (PS4)
Usually, you don't need a deep, compelling story when you're playing a boardgame, especially if it's one that you play against your friends. However, Wartile is trying to tell a story, but it fails miserably at keeping players entertained. It's a pity because that single negative aspect takes away a lot from the gameplay experience, which is quite fun overall. It's strange because if you play Wartile like a boardgame, you'll most likely have a ton of fun. Otherwise, Wartile is a video game where you'll just clear level after level using miniatures that move on map made of hexagons. Luckily, that is a very fun and rewarding experience as well, although it could have been much better. All in all, Wartile is a fair indie game: it is different, well-executed and humble. If you like tabletop games or if you are just looking for something different, tactical and fun, you will not regret the 15 hours spent moving the Vikings from hexagon to hexagon.

WARTILE is a fine game and I’m glad that it exists despite not hitting its Kickstarter goal. It’s a relatively fun short romp. There’s a particular itch that this game looks so ready to scratch, but it can’t quite reach it. I can’t complain too much at $20 but at the same time I advise waiting for the game to go on sale. This game may have fell short of the potential I feel it had, but I nonetheless hope to see more from PlayWood Project Aps in the future.
