Gameplay

In Wanderburg, you control a mobile fortress, navigating it across a series of procedurally generated continents. The core of the gameplay revolves around strategic planning and resource management. As you traverse these ever-changing landscapes, you must scavenge for essential resources like timber, scrap, and coal. These materials are vital for upgrading your fortress's defenses, weapons, and systems. Each decision you make carries weight, as you balance growth with survival. The game demands that you weigh the pros and cons of expanding your castle's capabilities against the pressing need to conserve fuel and maintain crew morale.

Tactical combat is another pillar of Wanderburg's gameplay. Skirmishes with rival mobile castles and factions are frequent, requiring you to think on your feet. Positioning, module synergies, and resource management are key to emerging victorious from these encounters. The game's procedural nature ensures that each run is unique, offering countless opportunities for emergent gameplay.

Story & Setting

Wanderburg places you in a world where land is in constant flux. Continents shift and change, creating new landscapes to explore.

As the commander of your own fortress, you must navigate these treacherous territories, forging alliances or clashing with rivals as needed.

The narrative unfolds organically, with your actions and choices shaping the course of your journey. The lack of a fixed storyline allows for a more personal experience, where your strategic decisions and adaptability are the driving forces.
