Wartales

Wartales marched onto StreamerHouse in 2023 with 237 peak viewers, as Shiro Games' gritty medieval mercenary RPG exited Early Access on April 12 after 16 months of development. This was low-fantasy tactical warfare where you managed a band of mercenaries trying to survive in a plague-ravaged world, making morally gray choices about robbery, murder, and sacrifice to keep your company fed. The streams showcased turn-based tactical combat and the economic simulation aspects that forced players to finance their growing warband. That 237-viewer peak represented a dedicated tactical RPG audience appreciating Wartales' 200+ hours of content, emergent storytelling, and player-driven narratives. With 79/100 on Metacritic and over 1 million copies sold by December 2024, Wartales proved indie studios could deliver deep tactical experiences. StreamerHouse captured this sleeper hit finding its audience among strategy fans.
