Wargroove Delayed To Q1 2019, Gets Content Breakdown

Recommended Videos

 

Wargroove’s development team has released a new update blog post that goes over the recent developments, such as the delay to Q1 2019, a breakdown of what players can expect to receive when the full game release, and a look at Caeser the dog’s Groove ability.

 

The team behind the game assured that everything was going smoothly, and that they are in the final stages of development and QA. However, in order to provide players with everything the game has to offer from the beginning, the game has been moved from a late 2018 release to a Q1 2019 release window. After the multiple platform submissions, a more specific date will be revealed.

 

Here’s the content breakdown shared by Chucklefish:

  • Skirmish Mode: 30+ two-player PVP maps, 10+ three player PVP maps & 6+ four player PVP maps. Possibly a number of ‘scenario’ maps – not confirmed yet. This works both online and offline, can be played vs CPU in any configuration. Allows you to configure weather, turn timer, fog of war, income, map biome, Commanders and teams. Online matches can be synchronous or asynchronous and can have many matches running at once.
  • Arcade Mode: Each Commander has its own arcade in which you fight 5 opponents in succession, on randomly chosen PVP maps. Each character talks to their opponent at the start of each fight and ends with a full cutscene when their arcade mode is completed – similar to fighting games! A great way to learn about all of the characters.
  • Campaign Mode: 33+ Missions of varying length where you play as many different Commanders. Each mission starts and ends with a cutscene, some with cutscenes in the middle. Totals between 1 hour to 1hr30 of cutscene content!
  • Puzzle Mode: 25+ extremely challenging puzzles where you have to defeat the enemy in a single turn.
  • Map Creation: Easy to use basic tools/map painting. Advanced scripting tools for frankly ridiculous possibilities. Cutscene creation in-game, with really detailed tools that allow you to dress up your maps or campaign with a story. Includes a decoration System with fine control over the visuals of the map.
  • Campaign Creation: Choose 1 of 3 world maps. Simple placing of missions on the map and assigning them icons/date/location/descriptions. Map flags, allowing for branching paths/unlockable missions/secrets.
  • Content Sharing: A powerful content sharing centre for maps and campaigns. Ability to rate maps – Like/Dislike, with filters and search. Various different discoverability methods.
  • Gallery: Unlock artwork from the games development, amongst other fun things we won’t spoil.
  • Codex: Details the history of the world with lore and bio on all Commanders. Strategy info, rules and nice artwork of grooves. Damage charts for each unit with lots of unlockables.
  • Jukebox: Unlock music tracks. Some cute stuff that we won’t spoil.
  • Secret Content: ??????? The game probably has more secrets than you’d imagine – old school game style!
  • Options: Language – we’re hoping to localise, but don’t know if it will be in for launch or not yet. Combat Animations – always/never/my turn only/commanders only. Show Grid – on/off. Auto end turn – when no units are unspent on/off. Zoom level – near/far. Standard resolution options. Separate volume controls for master/music/sound FX/Voices. Colour blind mode – red-green/blue-yellow. Rumble on your turn when using a gamepad.

 

 

Finally, Chucklefish Games showed off Caeser’s Groove, which is done by filling the gauge to 100% by dealing and taking damage in battle. There are Slow, Medium, Fast, and Very Fast Grooves, and Caeser’s is a Medium charge Groove.

Essentially, Caeser’s ‘Inspire’ Groove lets ally units one tile away move again, even if they have already moved. It essentially acts as a refresh that must be used at strategic times.

 

Wargroove will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in Q1 2019.
