Hey everyone! ⚔️ We’re stopping by to wish a very happy 5th anniversary to Wargroove! It's been an exciting year, with the reveal of the sequel, Wargroove 2, we’ve continued to expand the world of Aurania and build our community into a hub of enthusiastic tactics fans! To celebrate this special day, both Wargroove and Wargroove 2 will be on sale from February 1st to February 8th. Wargroove came to life as a love letter to the classic turn-based tactical games we adored and wanted to see on modern platforms. Fueled by nostalgia and an excitement to build something new after Starbound, in 2017 we got to work building a new strategy title with a retro feel. As Aurania and the factions of Cherrystone, Felheim, Floran and Heavensong came to life throughout development, we developed new twists to keep the genre fresh. With a unique Groove system, dynamic gameplay and a custom campaign and map…

- Want an Advance Wars PC game? Try these - 13 September 2020
Advance Wars is a famous game series beloved by many Nintendo fans. The first entry landed on the Game Boy Advance (scholars maintain this was where the name originated), which was then followed by several fabulous instalments until 2008, when the 3DS got Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and all news about the series fell silent. Not even a Super Smash Bros character. With no Advance Wars on the Wii U or the Switch either, it's been over a decade and nothing has been announced or hinted at. Nintendo fans are surely feeling a little neglected, so can you imagine how us PC fans feel? A great game available on a separate platform that we're not allowed to play? How totally unfair. Well, now I think about it, we've got plenty of other options. Yeah, we don't need Advance Wars, we can make our own fun on PC! So that's what this is - I'm going to give you a list of all the games that you can play t…

This means that no matter what platform of Wargroove you choose to battle on, you can enjoy competitive and cooperative multiplayer games, as well as share and play community-made maps online with friends. From the very early stages of development, we knew that playing Wargroove multiplayer was not only incredibly fun, but also a huge part of the game's experience, which made supporting crossplay between all platforms a no-brainer for us. As you may already know, the release of our free DLC, Wargroove: Double Trouble, on Steam earlier this year also featured a new public and private lobby system, making it quic…

- Big Chonk Caesar - 10 February 2020
Oh lawd, he comin’! We're so happy to finally share with you some exciting new Wargroove merch, in the form of this adorable Caesar plush! (Wargroove vinyl for scale – sold separately via Yetee Records & Boss Battle Records) We've been working with the team at The Yetee on this very good boy for some months now. The idea to make a plush Caesar has been floating around since the early days of Wargroove development, and it was a pleasure to bring him to life with the Yetee’s talented designers and all their plush expertise. We went through a few iterations until he was just right, consulting the development team here at Chucklefish all the way through. We frequently referred to photos of the dog breed that Caesar is based on, which, if you’re a Caesar fan you’ll undoubtedly know is a Great Pyrenees. The trickiest parts were the ears and the expression, we wanted him to be as cute as can b…

- Wargroove's big free Double Trouble DLC gets a February release date - 9 January 2020
Those with a hankering for more Advance-Wars-inspired turn-based strategy action to ring in the New Year are in luck. Developer Chucklefish has revealed that Wargroove's sizeable free Double Trouble DLC will arrive on 6th February. For anyone in need of a refresher, Wargroove's Double Trouble DLC is, as its name suggests, themed around co-operative play. It introduces a new story campaign designed for two players - which follows the adventures of a band of rogues on a daring heist - and supports couch-based and online co-op, as well as solo play for those without immediate access to friends. It also brings two new units - the stealthy Thieves and long-distance Riflemen - plus three new Outlaw Commanders, each with their own unique Grooves. There's Wulfar, Vesper, and "troublemaker twins" Errol and Orla, who count as a single Commander. Read more

Just in time, I suppose, for the day that co-op life partners celebrate together. Double Trouble also adds new commanders, units, and arcade missions. (more…)
- Wargroove: Double Trouble is a free expansion coming in February - 8 January 2020
Cute turn-based tactics romp Wargroove is due a rather chunky expansion next month, letting players embark on a new co-op story campaign—also playable solo—and several other new additions, all for free. Give the launch trailer a watch above. Double Trouble introduces a new playable faction, the criminal Outlaws, and a trio of new commanders. It's actually four characters, but Orla and Errol are twins who always fight alongside each other as a single commander unit.  All the teal-haired crooks seem to be Scottish in Wargroove's universe, which is still a huge step up from only letting us be dwarves or the occasional Doctor Who. We've got range, you know.  Alongside the commanders, you'll be able to field two new units, thieves and riflemen, and try out new arcade missions, competitive quickplay maps, public and private multiplayer lobbies and a…

Work kicked off in the period between the end of Wargroove's core development and the game's release when Wargroove was going through localization, testing, and platform submissions. We knew that we wanted to expand upon Wargroove's story and create some new characters, but a real focal point for us was th…
