The Dark Secrets of Rigel

In Wartales - Expansion: The Curse of Rigel, players will traverse the mysterious depths of the County of Rigel, a secluded valley shrouded by darkness and terror. As the corruption spreads, villagers suffer from brutal attacks, and hunters vanish among the twisted roots of the ancient Weald forest. Your troop answers the King’s call to uncover the source of this menace and confront the lurking horror within.

The Enigmatic Weald

The Weald is not just any forest; it is an endless expanse where shadows thrive and paths shift unpredictably. Step beneath its canopy and experience a world that seems to warp reality. Players must navigate this terrain, where compasses fail and time becomes a distant memory. As they delve deeper, they're met with whispers and eerie shapes that test their resolve and sanity.

Corrupted Creatures Await

Within the dark embrace of the Weald, corrupted beings emerge, once-human yet twisted by the forest's malevolence. These monstrous encounters require not just survival but a fight for the humanity that clings to the troop. Each skirmish provides not only danger but the potential to gain powerful grafts from these creatures, impacting gameplay and mechanics.

Harnessing Graft Power

Surviving the weirdness of Rigel has its price. Players must decide whether to embrace the powers gained from the grafted beings or resist the primal forces tainting their companions. This moral dilemma shapes the game's narrative, forcing players to confront the line between hunter and prey, revealing that the real beast may lie within themselves.

Scientific Exploration and Strategy

At the heart of your camp lies a quest for knowledge and understanding of the Weald. Players can engage in alchemical research, experimenting with the strange properties of grafts to strengthen their mercenaries. This strategic mechanic encourages a balance between power and risk, as the new capabilities may lead to both salvation and doom.

Meet the Thaumaturge

The expansion introduces a fresh class: the Thaumaturge. Armed with scientific knowledge and mystical concoctions, this character manipulates fumes to influence the tide of battle. The Thaumaturge’s unique abilities allow for tactical advantages, supporting allies or subduing foes, but at the risk of slipping into madness. This class adds depth and variety to the gameplay.

Expanding Horizons on PC
