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.

Wanderburg FAQ

Answers for the decision in front of you.

Short, source-reviewed next steps for the player problems that matter before or during a run.

01Which Wanderburg build should I try first?

On Wanderturm, start with Ram for collision passes or Side Cannon for ranged bursts. On Spiderburg, start with a Top mage and add a second during the run. Keep one main damage investment and an escape tool; the guide includes starting gear, alternatives, and relevant 0.9.14 changes.

Compare three loadouts
02How do I unlock Spiderburg?

Complete the four-boss objective in Golden Dunes, purchase the chassis, and make two distinct Top modules permanently available. The reported chassis price is 2,500 Silver. Crew archers do not count as another Top option; you select one starting weapon and gain the other during the run.

Follow the unlock steps
03How do I farm Silver for permanent unlocks?

Repeat a Land you can clear reliably and collect boss tombstones. Each boss drops at least 50 Silver since 0.9.13. Finish outstanding quests for a purchase boost, then compare repeatable Silver per minute including failed attempts; Gold and Silver serve different purposes.

Plan your next purchase
04Which Wanderburg vehicle should I unlock next?

Keep Wanderturm for a Side weapon with Back Dash, choose Spiderburg for two Top weapons, or Tankenburg for two Front tools. The community-recorded chassis prices are 2,500 Silver for Spiderburg and 5,000 for Tankenburg, after their four-boss Land tasks. Compare the full slot and purchase table before buying.

Compare vehicles and unlock steps
05All Lands won! did not unlock — what should I check?

Track actual wins for each Land, finish the missing ones, then compare Steam after returning to the menu. If every Land is won but the award is missing, two players reported success after replaying the first Land once. That is a community workaround; the guide separates it from official fixes and in-game enemy quests. Source-reviewed Oct 19, 2026.

Use the achievement checklist
06Wanderburg crashes when I select Spiderburg — what next?

Separate a second-Top warning from a game that closes. Update and verify files, then compare Steam's default, DX12, and Vulkan launch choices while repeating the same preview or selection action. Record the build, GPU, chosen API, and result if the crash persists.
