Wanderburg

Wanderburg is a minimalist medieval action roguelike from Berlin studio Randwerk. You steer a castle on wheels through procedurally generated areas, collect resources and expand the fortress with new modules during a run.

The core idea combines vehicle control with roguelite progression: the castle grows over the course of a run, gains new upgrades and must use its movement and the arrangement of its modules sensibly.

Wanderburg launched in Early Access on Steam on Sep 8, 2026. Randwerk currently gives a rough timeframe of six to twelve months for this phase, depending on development and community feedback.

The current version already includes the full core loop with several biomes, difficulty levels and long-term unlocks. More content, balancing adjustments and polish are planned during Early Access.

Wanderburg is currently available natively for Windows PC via Steam. A standalone console, macOS or Linux version has not been announced so far.

The game supports mouse and keyboard as well as controllers. The official Steam page also lists Steam Cloud, Achievements and Leaderboards.

The mobile fortress itself is at the heart of the game. During a run, you steer it through different areas, collect resources and build new modules at various positions on the castle.

Cannons, arcane towers and other siege modules change range, aim and gameplay. Between runs, additional vehicles, artifacts and captains are unlocked, so new combinations and strategies emerge.

Steam lists as minimum Windows 10 or later, an Intel Core i5 10th generation, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, DirectX 11 and 2 GB free storage. For the recommended configuration, so far only DirectX 12 is specifically listed on the store page.

Randwerk explicitly uses Early Access for joint balancing with the community. New content, additional variety and polish are meant to come from the builds and strategies players develop during live operation.

The current version is already considered a fully playable core of the project; the planned Early Access period of six to twelve months is a development forecast and not a firmly committed date for version 1.0.
