About the game

A roguelike where the castle is the vehicle.

Wanderburg is developed by Randwerk and published by Sidekick Publishing. It entered Steam Early Access for Windows PC on September 8, 2026.

The official description frames each run around a moving fortress: consume smaller targets, add siege machinery, face stronger strongholds, and unlock options that broaden later runs.

What defines a run

Consume and expand

Growth is part of the play space: smaller targets feed a fortress that must eventually challenge larger ones.

Build a siege arsenal

Official material describes modular weapons and structures, so recommendations must be checked again when patches change them.

Carry options forward

Modules, vehicles, artifacts, and captains are described as persistent unlock paths between attempts.
