About this game
Wargroove 2 puts you in command of turn-based warfare across land, sea and air. Each commander has a unique Groove skill, and its tiered system lets you act sooner or wait for a stronger charge. The story unfolds through three interwoven campaign arcs. Conquest offers another structure: gold and health carry between battles, linking decisions across a run. You can also create maps, cutscenes and campaigns with the in-game editors. Cooperative and versus multiplayer support local or online battles, including asynchronous play. The battlefield and its characters are presented in pixel art.
Collected in series
Wargroove brings turn-based battles to a colorful fantasy world of rival armies and memorable commanders. You capture settlements, spend their income on troops and look for the right position to attack. Each commander has a special Groove ability that can turn a careful plan into a decisive moment.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A promising design for tacticians who enjoy ability timing and consequences that extend beyond one battle.
Using a Groove now or saving its charge creates a clear tactical tradeoff. Conquest's carried resources could make preserving an army feel as important as winning the current encounter, while the editors offer a separate outlet for designing battles.
Strengths
- Tiered Grooves give ability timing a potentially meaningful cost of waiting.
- The editors let scenario builders turn their own battle ideas into playable maps and campaigns.
Weaknesses
- Players who prefer a fresh start each battle may find Conquest's carried health and gold less forgiving of mistakes.
Who it is for: Turn-based strategy players interested in commander abilities, linked battles or making their own scenarios.
Play notes: Online play requires an internet connection and a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
