Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys strategy and emergent storytelling. The story campaigns are genuinely fun and well-written, and the creators have done a superb job making a system of random events and character generation that nevertheless tells coherent stories. The random events and character interactions bring a huge amount of life to the stories and the characters, and the ability to bring back your favorites across multiple campaigns is such a fun concept. It's well-executed here. Having only three character classes may initially seem limiting, but in reality they're much more broad archetypes than set classes. You can build your mystic as a blaster mage, sure, but you can also hand them a greataxe and mageplate, have their magic boost their melee damage, and call them a paladin. Your ranger can stick to shooting people, or you can build them as a dagger-wielding rogue who does double backstab damage, ignores armor, and goes back into stealth every time they get a kill. Your warrior can be a shield-tank knight, an inspiring archer, or a hyperaggressive raider barbarian who sets everything on fire. There's some beautiful versatility here. I've found the multiplayer to be reliably stable, and having someone experiencing the story alongside you makes it all the better. A friend and I always read the cutscene dialogue out loud, splitting the roles, and it enhances the experience. Also of note: You can specify which characters belong to which player, so in battles you'll only be prompted to control your own characters and those marked as shared. Very convenient. (Anyone can change those specifications at any time, so it's always a positive.) Anyway, enough seriousness. All hail Pamyvien Grave, the greatest warrior in 10 yonderings!
