About
The Battle for Wesnoth is an open-source, turn-based tactical strategy game with a high-fantasy theme, featuring both singleplayer campaigns and online/hotseat multiplayer. It includes a map editor, hundreds of unit types across multiple factions, and modding support for custom maps, eras, and campaigns. It's available on Windows, macOS, and Linux via Steam, itch.io, the macOS App Store, standalone SourceForge installers, or Flatpak, with additional unofficial ports for iOS and Android, and remains under active development.
