WATCH THE RELEASE DATE TRAILER
Darkest Dungeon meets Parappa the Rapper, Wardrum is a tactical turn-based game where you must tune your rhythm with your inner warrior to plan and execute flawless battle tactics to defeat rival tribes from across an unforgiving fantasy inspired land.
Off-beat magic has infected the lands, neighbouring settlements have fallen and it’s up to you and a band of five warriors to keep the beat. Venture out into a harsh fantasy world filled with rhythm magic and stop the source of this off-beat threat once and for all.
About The Game:
- Activate abilities in time to the beat to deal devastating attacks or powerful buffs.
- Forge a path across a harsh fantasy world full of rhythm magic, face death and strengthen your warriors until you have the power to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands.
- Make use of the battlefield by comboing attacks and hazards: push enemies off cliffs, activate deadly traps, and pull foes into kill zones set by your archer.
- Trek across six distinctive biomes with randomizing map paths, navigating through battles, sanctuaries and other events to go toe to toe against dangerous bosses.
- All biomes come with their own formidable enemies and environmental dangers
- Encounter a range of over 35 menacing enemies that require careful tactical planning to overcome.
- Roguelite replayability: Death is temporary! Face death, learn from your mistakes, upgrade your warband and venture forth again.
