- Building the Beats of the Wardrum - 13 May 2026
Hey Wardrummers! We've heard you, in the comments, reviews, video clips and streams, you love the music and sound design that is featured in Wardrum, and we wanted to give you more of an insight into how it was shaped, formed and created.So, that's why we recently got to chat with Ben Ridge, Lead Composer & Sound Designer at Unfathomable Audio, to chat all about how they brought the beat of Wardrum to life! Wardrum is a rhythm game, which means it needs to have great catchy toe-tapping music to fit the gameplay that you want to enjoy for many hours at a time. What is your process for creating such iconic beats for a game of this genre? In early discussions, it became clear that the aim was going to be a fairly straight, simple drum beat most of the time that's very easy to follow. Then we’d add little bits of ornamentation around that to make things slightly different and more interesti…

- The Rhythm Caster - Character Deep Dives - 1 April 2026
In Wardrum, you command a warband of skilled warriors in their quest to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands. In this video, we’re going to deep dive into a few abilities of the Rhythm Caster. Rhythmcaster Empra, as the name implies, is a Rhythmcaster of the Warband, trained from childhood to specialise in dealing area of effect magic damage on their foes. With great power comes a great price. As they cast powerful Rhythm Magic through their body, they suffer from their Toll of Magic Passive, where they lose some HP every time they use an ability. The Toll of Magic, combined with their low health stats, makes Rhythmcaster Empra a glass cannon, so it would be wise to keep them shielded from too much danger. The Toll of Magic Passive can be altered during your runs, by choosing between two unlockable abilities: Glass Cannon or Close and Personal. Glass Cannon doubles down on the H…

This ability involves a hold input during the rhythm stage, imitating a real bowstring drawing before releasing the fatal arrow. Razeen has a tactical ability that he can utilise called Knee Stance. When activated, he takes this turn to get into a Knee Stance position. While in the Knee stance, his attacks will have their range, critical, and damage increased, making Razeen even more lethal on the battl…

Stoneshoulders carries a large two-handed warhammer and knows exactly how to use it to great effect on his foes, making him a great unit to have in your Warband when you’ve got enemies between yourself and your objectives Their basic but powerful melee attack, Crushing Blows, lets Stoneshoulders unleash his brutal warhammer twice on his opponent, inflicting great damage in the process. If you are lucky, there is a 50% chance that it will also inflict the unsteady debuff on the enemy for one turn, assuming they survive the swings of the hammer. With his high HP and defence stats, Stoneshoulders can be a great tank unit for your team if you utilise the Protect ability correctly. With this abilit…
