About Waven

✦ AI summary

Waven is a free-to-play tactical RPG where you sail across a flooded world building custom spell decks and battling colorful monsters in turn-based combat, either solo against AI or against other players in competitive modes. It blends strategic deckbuilding with tactical RPG depth, letting you master different hero archetypes and equipment combinations across PC, Mac, and mobile platforms.

In a flooded world where only a few islands have survived the rising waters, you play a seafaring adventurer searching for answers to this great upheaval. Long ago, gods and dragons ruled the world. Today, magic remains but what of the mythical beings of yesteryear?

At the dawn of a new era, choose your hero, equip your best spells and set sail for an incredible odyssey. Sail from island to island in a vast world full of colorful creatures, gain power, refine your strategy and uncover the secrets of a world adrift.

WAVEN is a new roleplaying game experience that is accessible, fun and immersive. It combines adventure and turn-based strategy, inspired by the best tactical RPGs, with deckbuilding mechanics and valuable items to collect. It can be played for free online on PC, Mac, smartphone and tablet.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Waven is praised for its beautiful art direction, accessible gameplay, and cosmetic-only monetization that avoids pay-to-win mechanics, making it an appealing casual RPG experience. However, players express significant concern about the game's development limbo, with over a year without updates and an announced full rework that will reset all progress, leading many to question whether investing time or money is worthwhile given the uncertainty around the game's future and launch timeline.

I played it a lot on mobile, and it's very fun. However Ankama is terrible with communication and we have no clue what's happening.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
