Wartales: Pirates of Belerion

About

Wartales: Pirates of Belerion adds a sun-scorched archipelago to the tactical RPG’s formula. Lead a crew through crumbling islands where factions vie for control, balancing resource management with turn-based combat on land and sea. Navigate treacherous waters, recruit pirates, and adapt strategies to shifting alliances. The expansion introduces ship-to-ship battles and regional politics, blending exploration with base-building as you carve out a base amid Belerion’s decay. The game stands out for its layered decision-making, where economic choices directly impact warfare outcomes. Community feedback highlights the depth of co-op play, letting teams coordinate between land and naval fronts. With over 20 hours of main story and optional conflicts, players praise the expansion’s ambition. Released in late 2023 for PC, it supports both solo and shared adventures. The Ihrian migration narrative adds a fresh layer to the series’ focus on survival and strategy.

Storyline
