Wargroove has a new patch available right now, and it’s got a massive list of changes. Most of them are quality of life changes and improvements, but they’re addressing a ton of complaints and qualms about the game with it.
Here’s the massive list;
Checkpoint system:
- While playing in campaign mode, you can set a checkpoint in a mission
- If you are defeated, you can retry from the checkpoint
- You can set a checkpoint whenever you want, but you can only have one active at a time (the previous gets overwritten)
Difficulty system overhaul:
- Five difficulty presets, Story, Easy, Medium, Hard (Default) and Custom
- Hard difficulty is the default, and is the standard rules of the game. It’s the only mode where you can obtain S-ranks
- Medium difficulty is a bit easier and still lets you obtain up to 3 stars
- Easy limits you at 2 stars
- Story limits you at 1 star, and is VERY easy

- You can now add CPU players to online games
