I wish there was a 'high score' mode, or unlockable challenge modes or something for people who have seen it all. I don't really want to do a Walking Lunch no-reload (has anyone beaten that?), but it feels like a wider goal is missing. It features multiple campaigns that tell epic stories but also have smaller stories within that grow organically with the characters you play with. So that was a pleasant surprise! I think my only complaint is that late-game content seems missing. Wildermyth is a story-focused strategy RPG that follows randomly generated characters on their journeys from obscurity to heroism. A lot of the mechanics are really fresh and interesting, like the interfusing and the death mechanics. It felt impossible to prevent random snipes of mystics or new heroes.īut over time, as I realized that a core part of the gameplay was adapting a 'five-chapter strategy,' I started really appreciating some of the care into making the game an actual game, rather than just something thrown together. Like the best tabletop roleplaying experiences, Wildermyth gives you. The gameplay felt 'fine,' but it didn't come off as crisp and had a floaty feel to it. Wildermyth is a character-driven, procedurally-generated tactical RPG, designed to help you tell your wildest stories. There's a lot more too it than I had first thought.Īt first, I thought the gameplay was a placeholder justification for the storytelling, which I thought was the main attraction.

I know the storytelling gets a lot of love, but after 60 hours, and completing two carved in stone (no reloading) Tragic Hero campaigns, I've really come around the gameplay.
