Lead a band of heroes as they grow from reluctant farmers into unique, legendary fighters. Like the best tabletop roleplaying experiences, Wildermyth gives you choices and answers your every decision with consequences that drive your characters forward. Like every good story, it flows by itself and only asks for a fair bit of attention and time.īy combining aspects of boardgames, comics, novel and classic roleplaying games, and with a very conscious emphasis on its stories and characters, this very intelligent and detailed game can offer a very satisfying experience to anybody looking for fun and engagement in their purest form.Wildermyth is a character-driven, procedurally-generated tactical RPG. It’s an RPG but it does not intimidate with too many statistics and rules, it’s very easy to learn and never punishes mistakes too harshly (harder difficulty levels are there for those who appreciate a challenge, though). In conclusion, I really loved Wildermyth and I think I can easily recommend it to beginners and experienced users alike. The developers really took the player base seriously and tried to offer the richest experience possible. There is a special sense of satisfaction when you manage to bring back from the mists of time your all-time favorite, spear-wielding scarred veteran who got one arm permanently turned into stone, thus turning the fate of an apparently doomed campaign.Īs a cherry on this interactive storytelling cake, i t is also possible to play a multiplayer game, where each player can bring their favorite characters to start a new adventuring party. In this way, they can keep on progressing on their character arc, effectively moving through a different set of ranks, from “local hero” to “myth”. After they retire, they enter a special “Pantheon” of heroes, and they can be recruited (or casually encountered! which is super fun) in future campaigns. It can be really engrossing.Īnd fear not – there is a way to always keep your favorites in the loop. This gives a sense of scale and continuity that turns every game session into the chapter of an epic saga.
And since great care is given to the relationships they will form over their careers, the longer campaigns will most likely be completed by their children, grandchildren, friends or apprentices. Each of them takes place over several “ages”, meaning decades, during the course of which the initial characters will inevitably age and retire from active duty.
#Wildermyth campaigns plus#
The game includes five carefully detailed campaigns, plus unlimited procedurally generated extras to guarantee replayability. The game also includes (although simplified) inventory, magic items, resources, a map to explore, party management – all the elements that make RPGs fun, just in the right amounts to avoid excessive micromanagement. It makes for some serious tactical depth, as you will always be on the lookout for new creative ways to wreak havoc on your opponents using elements in the environment. Fight in a room with a burning fireplace, and they will be able to engulf enemies in a roaring fire in a forest setting, they will use trees, bushes and rotting stomps to create deadly splinters, or entrap their opponents in enveloping vines. The way magic works in this game deserves a special mention: mystics have the ability to “infuse” magic in their surroundings, which means they can’t just summon a fireball from nothing and toast enemies like that, but the effectiveness of their spells depends on where they are, what objects they can interact with, and a number of other creative decisions. Characters may choose between three adventuring classes: warrior, rogue and mystic, the magic users.
