Our “Wartile” interview with Playwood Project
Steam
Kickstarter

Press release:
March 2, 2016 – Copenhagen, Denmark – Playwood Project today launched their Kickstarter for hotly anticipated real-time strategy, WARTILE.

WARTILE is a medieval fantasy themed strategy game that invites the player to select a band of miniature figurines and embark on a campaign or a multiplayer match, set on gorgeous diorama Battle Boards. Figurines, their special abilities and your hand of godly and tactical cards are the tools to rule the board. Wartile captures the tabletop feeling, while adding its own digital style, magic and humor. Tactics weigh heavily in WARTILE, where a unique cooldown system adds the flavor of turn based games and gives you the time to outsmart, trap or even use Godly powers on your enemy.

“We’ve been hard at work for the last two years, and now, we feel ready to reveal to the world WARTILE! We’re now looking towards Kickstarter to help secure the required funds we need to progress with the development of WARTILE.” said Michael Rud Jakobsen, Creative Director at Playwood Project. “We’ve released a tentative pre-alpha tease on Steam for you to play and familiarise yourself with our miniature universe and hope that you love it as much as we do. We really look forward to hearing what you think in our campaign comments. It’s only with YOUR help that we can make WARTILE a bigger and better game.”
