Wanderburg Early Access Review
Wanderburg has just launched into Early Access and promises to be a hit with fans of unique gameplay styles. In this explosive indie game, you’ll find a mix of mechanics reminiscent of titles like Mortal Engines and Howl’s Moving Castle, combined with elements of bullet hell and roguelite progression.
Performance on SteamOS
I tested it on a SteamOS Steam Machine using Proton 11, and the performance was stellar. Even at 2560×1440 resolution, it rarely dipped below 100 FPS, providing a smooth gameplay experience.
Gameplay Overview
Initially, you’re limited in choices, but as you progress, you’ll unlock various modules for your mobile fortress. Collect coins to level up and enhance your castle as you battle unique bosses across different regions. The game’s design is minimalist yet captivating, showcasing everything from quirky soldiers to colossal fortresses.
Memorable Moments
One unexpected moment involved encountering a Trojan horse, emphasizing the game’s whimsical flair. The thrill of discovery keeps the gameplay engaging, especially with the diverse bosses and their unique attack patterns.
Conclusion
While it’s still in Early Access and I won’t score it yet, I highly recommend Wanderburg for its enjoyable combat and innovative gameplay. Indie developers continue to impress, and this title is no exception.
