Wildermyth

Great for tabletop RPG lovers. The best thing this game does is you'll have a random character you don't care about join the party but by the end of a session you'll be wanting to bring them back on more campaigns.

A really great gem of a game. I played it soon after release and then sadly kind of forgot about it, although I really liked it. Picked it up again a short while ago and I am loving it. The artwork reminds me of old children books, but the stories are decidedly more mature. Othe people have already praised the great mix of tactical combat, artwork, music and story telling, and I have nothing more to add. It is a really, really great game. The best way to enjoy Wildermyth (in my opinion): pick a rainy or overcast day, make yourself cozy, brew your favourite cup of tea, maybe add some biscuits. And then start a new adventure. Take your time reading the texts, immersing yourself in the slowsly unfolding lives of your characters. Like reading folktales of old. And don't be shy to start playing on lower difficulties first. Wildermyth tactical combat is just complex enough to keep you interested, without being unforgiving. And always remember, that also a tragic death can be an important part of the tale you are weaving while playing.

It's ok. Not great or amazing, Not terrible either. The game progresses slow, We spent most of our time reading the story menus with less than 1/4 of our time in actual combat. I wish i could give it a mediocre rating but Steam only allows thumbs up/down. I purchased 4 copies so I could play with my boys. I'm glad I got it on sale. I'd be disappointed if i paid full price. It's turn based, so every one shares the exact same screen at all times. That might be fine with 2 players max, but the problem with multiplayer is every one reads at different speads and some players get distracted easily. I feel like other turn based games do a better job of keeping additional players vested. To me, this feels like this was original a 1-player game that was stretched into multiplayer by limiting turns without adding anything that feels truly unique to any specific character.

I've had this game for years, tried it a few times, didn't "get" it. Just started a playthrough with someone who understood the mechanics, and it's AMAZING. Love the dynamic storytelling, combat is quick and fun. If you get this, watch a tutorial or two on how the game plays out if you, like me, don't like not understanding core mechanics. But well worth the money!

Interesting idea. And I hope to see more riffing on it. But, oh my gosh, the game feels like 60% clicking though *incredibly* boring dialogue. I didn't get very far, but the early game play was also boring. (though the mystic interacting with the environment was a neat mechanic). -- But basically it was very simple combat combined with spiritless text that you have to speed through. And then the campaign map is ... also incredibly slow as you watch time slowly tick while tasks get done. Points for a some interesting ideas. But the execution wasn't there for me. Though if someone likes cozy/slow/beige games then they might enjoy.

This is a combination of storybook adventure, adding player input along the way, and a tabletop strategy game. Very creative way to follow adventurers for years of their lives, leveling up, engaging in relationships, as well as gaining various fiefdoms, with material income, to produce gear. It isn't an action game, but it is surely closer to "Roleplaying", than any other game on the market today.

I've had enough with the homosexual content in games. In Wildermyth, it's fine that you can choose to make characters homosexual if you prefer. I'm tired of the game itself -- in this case, side missions -- that foist it upon you. If this were the 90s or early 00s and an isolated game? Sure. Wouldn't care. Now, sick of it everywhere.
