About

Tails of War was created by a 45 person multidisciplinary team over two semesters at the University of Michigan's WolverineSoft Studio, a student games studio undertaking semester-long projects. It is an educational case study of Wargroove, and takes inspiration from its game mechanics as well as other games in the genre. Work on this project took place between May 2023 to January 2024.
