Wanderburg FAQ
What is Wanderburg?+
Wanderburg is a minimalist medieval roguelike from Randwerk and Sidekick Publishing. You drive a castle on wheels across a procedurally generated world, devouring villages and fortresses to grow, while building a modular arsenal of siege weapons. It launches into Early Access on September 8, 2026.
When does Wanderburg release?+
Wanderburg enters Early Access on September 8, 2026 on Steam. A free demo has been available since February 2026, and the game won the Most Entertaining award at gamescom 2026. The store page notes the price may rise during Early Access.
How do I grow my castle?+
Roll your castle into villages, flocks, and enemy fortresses to devour them. Consuming them grows your castle, unlocks more module slots, and lets you mount more weapons and defenses. The bigger you get, the more you can take on.
How do captains work?+
Captains are unlockable characters earned between runs by completing run objectives. Each captain brings unique perks that shape your build, and the best picks depend on your biome and playstyle. Pair them with the right weapons and artifacts for maximum synergy.
What are artifacts?+
Artifacts are powerful unlockables that grant passive bonuses to damage, defense, speed, and luck. You discover them between runs and equip them for your next run. Rarer artifacts offer stronger effects, and stacking the right ones with weapons and captains is key to deep runs.
What do vehicles do?+
Vehicles are the chassis your castle rides on. Different vehicles have different speed, health, and armor profiles, and you unlock new ones between runs. Your vehicle choice changes how your castle moves and how you build around your favorite weapons.
