Wargroove 1.2.7 is here! Arriving with mod support, balancing updates and bug fixes, this update is a chunky one.
Balancing Updates
We noticed some Commanders were becoming too dominant due to how quickly their Tier 2 Grooves could be charged. To address this, we’re trying out some slower charge times for Emeric and Wulfar. Emeric now has a slow charge time, and Wulfar has been changed to a medium charge time.
We also found Valder’s Tier 2 was a little too powerful for our liking. Instead of double damage, we have now decreased damage to 1.5x to see how he performs in competitive settings.
We’re continuing to work out the sweet spot for Trebuchets, due to how dominant they can can be. In this update we’ve reduced the damage they do to structures by 15%
We’re actively monitoring Discord and Reddit for all feedback, so keep talking about your games and letting us know about your competitive highs and woes!
Bug Fixes
We’ve been addressing some critical issues, including game crashes that occurred after suspending multiplayer games and bugs that caused soft-locks when using certain gamepad buttons. Performance and functionality issues have been tackled for better stability.
We’ve also put a lot of work into mitigating connection errors and solving filter menu issues to improve Multiplayer. Additionally, we’ve fixed various visual bugs and localisation issues to ensure consistency across different languages. Check out the patch notes at the bottom of this post for the full list of fixes!
Modding Support
Mod Support is now officially live! Previously available in the preview branch, our modding community have been testing Mod Support and making their own! We’re excited to feature some standout mods, including “Wargroove 2: Requiem Thrall,” which expands the Guardian faction, and “Wargroove Triple Trouble,” reintroducing the outlaw faction. For more details and to join the thriving modding community, visit our Discord server and check out the #modding channel.

Happy New Year!
Let’s start 2020 off with a bang – our *free* DLC Wargroove: Double Trouble will be ransacking digital stores on February 6th on PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One! The PS4 version will be on the way, date to be revealed soon.
Take a look below at our brand new Wargroove: Double Trouble trailer created by our super talented Technical Designer Armagon.
Development on Wargroove: Double Trouble actually started before the release of the base game. Work kicked off in the period between the end of Wargroove’s core development and the game’s release when Wargroove was going through localization, testing, and platform submissions. We knew that we wanted to expand upon Wargroove’s story and create some new characters, but a real focal point for us was the local co-op gameplay element. As a studio we always really enjoyed playing Wargroove together, so creating a shorter campaign that could be played couch co-op felt like a no-brainer.
Another element set from the beginning was the idea of a 2-in-1 Commander, which we felt was not only unique but also fit the theme really well. Here’s a concept animation sheet showing how we looked at the ways the twins’ actions would work together. It’s pretty cool to see a breakdown of how Errol’s amulet also comes into play, igniting dynamite for Orla’s slingshot attack and generating a protective shield when defending!
Can’t remember what else is in the DLC? Here’s a quick recap!
Brand new Co-Op Story Campaign (can be played couch co-op, online co-op or even solo)
3 New Roguish Commanders, each with unique Grooves – Wulfar, Errol & Orla and Vesper
2 New Units – Thieves & Riflemen!
New Arcade missions
Competitive online Quick Play maps
Public and Private Multiplayer Lobbies
New Volcano map theme and more updates to the custom Editor tools
When we set about starting work on Wargroove: Double Trouble, we realised new Commanders would be a must, and new Commanders would need new music. Bringing Phonetic Hero back into the fold was the obvious decision; especially since he had done such an excellent job on the original soundtrack.
As the Double Trouble campaign centers on the Outlaws and performing heists, Phonetic Hero initially sought to tap into a similar energy to that of the Outlaw’s original track, “Cheeky Ruckus“. Eventually we steered the commanders’ tracks in a slightly different direction, but we thought this first effort was too good to not use, so now it serves as something of a main theme for Double Trouble, featuring during the planning phase of every mission in the campaign. It is my pleasure to present the finished track, “The Plan”, right here!
This song, and all the others we’re adding with Double Trouble will be available for purchase shortly after the DLC launches. Phonetic Hero has continued to bring us really varied and high quality tracks, so I’m looking forward to sharing more of them with you guys soon! In the meantime you could always listen to the full original soundtrack over on our YouTube channel, or it’s also available for purchase so you can listen to it whenever you like!

Hey everyone, we’re back!
We had an amazing week at EGX showing off Wargroove: Double Trouble to the public for the very first time. Along the way we gathered some feedback, got to meet some amazing members of our community and genuinely had a brilliant experience sharing what’s in store for the DLC.
We’re also incredibly excited that PS4 and Switch versions of the Wargroove Deluxe Edition physical copies will be hitting stores globally tomorrow, so make sure to check out retailers such as Amazon, GAME, GameStop, JB Hi Fi, Micromania, ShopTo, fnac, MediaMarkt, Argos and more!
The Deluxe Edition includes a load of free goodies, such as a downloadable version of the Wargroove soundtrack by Phonetic Hero and Boss Battle Records, a Commander sprite sticker sheet, a poster map of Aurania (Outlaw version!), a mini strategy manual with stats and tips on all units (available in English, French, Italian, German & Spanish) as well as a reversible coversheet!
This will be our very first in-house game to get physical release and wouldn’t have happened without the amazing support we received for the game’s digital launch, so thank you from all the team here for getting us to this amazing milestone.
But enough about that – let’s get into the Commander Spotlight!
As you may have seen earlier this month, we revealed more info on what’s coming with the free Double Trouble DLC, including the new Outlaw Commander, Vesper!
Sly, deceitful and abrasive, Vesper certainly makes an impression – this notorious criminal is capable of conjuring a demonic smoke beast with just a whip and a flourish. A real bête noire, n’est-ce pas?
Vesper is the main antagonist in our brand new co-op story campaign. Fresh from kidnapping someone close to Wulfar and the twins, Vesper demands a hefty ransom for their return. Wulfar, Errol and Orla must raid the Imperial Palace of Heavensong, The Stone Mountain Fort of Felheim, The Celandine Vault of Cherrystone and the Floran’s Iron Root reserves… It’s a heist, for all the gold in Aurania!
Vesper’s groove ‘Smoke Shroud’ sees her shrouding an area of the map in thick, magical smoke. Units within this area cannot be targeted or counter-attacked for one turn.
Vesper’s Smoke Shroud has a slow charge speed, but is immensely powerful if placed correctly. When using it in the thick of battle, players should seek to gain an additional first attack advantage.
That’s all we have to share for now, we will be streaming a first look at Double Trouble’s map editor on Wednesday via the ChucklefishLive Twitch channel, so make sure to follow us there for a notification when we go live. You can also follow updates about Wargroove: Double Trouble and Wargroove in general on Twitter, our forums, the Wargroove subreddit, and the wiki!

Hey folks! Last week we had the pleasure of introducing you to our upcoming Commander, Wulfar, the Chieftain of the Outlaws. Today we’ll be introducing two brand new units coming to Wargroove – the Thief and Rifleman! We’ll be revealing more details on what’s included in the upcoming *free* DLC soon…
Outlaw! What law?
The Thief is sneakiest unit in the game. What they lack in strength, they more than make up with cunning and sleight of hand. Thieves can fill their knapsacks with 300 gold by ransacking enemy buildings, and 1000 gold if they manage to pull off a heist on the enemy Stronghold.
Thieves can’t do this alone though! Since they’re unable to attack, they’ll need reinforcements, subterfuge and protection as they journey across the map. Let it be said that opportunity makes a thief!
The Long Ranger
A Rifleman spends their whole life training to become an expert marksman – watch out, you don’t want to be in this unit’s line of sight, lest you be blown across the map! But with limited ammo, comes great responsibility, as you’ll need to keep track of how many shots your Rifleman has left to avoid stopping to reload out in the open.
Of course, not just a pretty face, a Rifleman can be deadly when they’re desperate, landing critical hits when they’re down to their last shot.
If you’re going up against this gun-wielding unit, make sure to take cover between the trees, where their bullets won’t reach you.
We’ll be sharing even more details about the *free* DLC soon! Also, if you’re in the London area, we’ll be showing off the new content at EGX 2019 over at the Chucklefish stand in the Rezzed Area, along with plenty other awesome Chucklefish games. The Wargroove team will be there in person, so if you’re attending be sure to say hello and get a sneak peek. If you want to chat with us online and share thoughts about the latest Wargroove news you can find us on the Wargroove Discord.
