About Wanderburg
Wanderburg is a fast‑paced, minimalist roguelike set in a medieval world where fortresses roam the battlefield. Castles hunt, villages flee, and only the largest stronghold survives each run. The game’s core loop revolves around moving your castle, consuming smaller entities, and evolving into a massive war machine.
Between runs you unlock new siege modules, vehicles, artifacts, and captains, expanding strategic options. The experience is fully playable with mouse, keyboard, or controller and includes features such as adjustable difficulty, save‑anytime, and Steam integration.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay
Each run begins with a modest moving fortress that must hunt down villages, flocks, and smaller fortresses. Consuming these targets fuels growth, allowing the castle to expand and become a larger war machine. Defeating powerful enemy castles pushes evolution further.
The battlefield reshapes with every run as your castle expands, adding new siege engines and artillery. The goal is to become the biggest stronghold, outlasting all other moving fortresses.
- Prioritize early targets to build momentum quickly.
- Balance offense and defense when confronting larger enemy castles.

Modular Arsenal
Players can mount cannons, raise arcane towers staffed with wizards, and deploy explosives. The modular system lets you build a wildly different arsenal each run, experimenting with combinations that can break the game’s balance.
Steam‑powered siege engines roll beside arcane artillery, and knights ride bicycles into battle, creating a diverse set of combat options that evolve as your fortress grows.
- Mix arcane and mechanical modules for versatile attacks.
- Test unconventional builds in early runs to discover synergies.

The progression is modular: each new unlock adds a piece to your arsenal, encouraging players to experiment with fresh strategies and game‑breaking combinations.
- Focus on unlocking modules that complement your preferred playstyle.
- Use captains to enhance specific aspects of your fortress.
