Overview
Warithmetic is a real-time auto battler built around factory-style production chains, developed and published by ElastiCat. It launched on Steam on November 12, 2026, and sits in the indie strategy space, blending automation with tactical army building. The central idea is simple to state and rich to play: arithmetic operations are your production lines, and their outputs are the soldiers you send to the front.
Highlights
- Connect arithmetic operations to produce frontline fighters, ranged swarms, and supporting healers, then let them advance and pick targets automatically.
- The order of your operations matters — add and multiply for stronger units, divide to create a swarm, or merge production lines into a single heavy hitter.
- Choose where every output goes, with melee units clashing and subtracting equal power from each other while ranged units spend their strength differently.
Who It's For
If you enjoy automation games where the puzzle is in the layout rather than the clicking, this one leans into that pleasure. Players who like auto battlers but want more control over composition and production will find a lot to tinker with. The single-player mode supports solo experimentation, while online PvP and multiplayer options let you test your chains against other players.

The appeal here is the way math becomes a battlefield language. Small numbers feed into bigger ones, and the shape of your production decides whether you field a swarm or a single armored push.
It is the kind of strategy game that rewards planning before the first unit ever moves.
