Rolled into the first Gorgon campaign with no idea what I was doing. Wound up recruiting a warrior within the first chapter and I intended on making her a tank with a shield. Her name was Falula. At the end of the first chapter, as we fight the first of what would be many gorgons throughout the campaign, I messed up and she got maimed. Her shield hand was turned to stone. I lived with it, begrudgingly. I kept her in my party for the next several hours of the campaign. She couldn't wield a shield anymore, but she could still fight, and as it turns out, fight well. I made her a Paladin which had the passive of putting her into a "Guardian" stance after every one of her turns regardless of action. This meant that she'd attack the first enemy that walked by her. She held her own throughout several hours of play, pulled her own weight, and as I entered the last fight of the campaign against the Gorgon leader I rewarded her reliability and invested my resources into giving her the strongest one-handed mace I could craft. The final fight was long with many, many enemies. But finally as we're fighting the big boss man himself, as he walks into range to finish off one of my other party members Falula's Guardian procs and she strikes the ugly creature with a crit of the level 3 mace I had just given her. It was just enough to finish him off and so the day was saved. At the end of each campaign you can choose to carry over one character as a legacy character to other campaigns. I could have chosen any of the 5 other able-bodied characters I had. But I chose my stone-handed battle priestess Falula. This game rocks.Show moreShow less

For its first ten hours, Wildermyth is charming and great. But, like the Wizard of Oz, once you've played enough to "see behind the curtains" into the game's narrative and gameplay systems, the magic and charm swiftly atrophy. Wildermyth is, ultimately, wildly overrated. I have a piece of advice I often tell my creative writing students: "If a detail is important enough to put in once, it's good enough to bring up again." If, when introducing a character, you spend several paragraphs describing the tattoos covering her body, then those tattoos should be a pivotal aspect of her character. They should be brought up again later by the character herself or others. You do this because it trains the reader to pay attention; it imbues even mundane observations with intrigue. This is, in fact, a form of Chekhov's Gun, from the famous playwright Anton Chekhov who said: "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following act it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there." Wildermyth, however, repeatedly hangs pistols on walls, only to completely ignore them later. For example, one of my primary characters that I've used across all my campaigns is a warrior with a WOLF HEAD. You would think, perhaps, that this might constitute a rather conspicuous detail. You might think other characters that she recruits would ask, "Uh why in the world do you have a wolf head?" But you would be wrong. My character having a wolf head didn't change anything in the story whatsoever. Because Wildermyth's individual story hooks and vignettes are largely self-contained. So a given story arc might have multiple parts that span several chapters, but story arcs never (that I saw) interact with each other. So actual character and world development feels random and disconnected, and as a result I found Wildermyth's story-telling to be uninteresting and emotionless. Sure your characters can "fall in love" but all that really means is some tag in the UI, with minor gameplay and story effects. A sad definition of love, if you ask me. Which leaves us with the game itself, the mechanics. And what's there is decent... but there isn't much there. I have this term - "indie threadbare effect" - that I find myself using all the time, to describe indie games which push replayability far beyond the game's mechanical depth and breadth. That also describes Wildermyth quite well. There's 8 or so scripted campaigns, as well as the choice to pursue a procedural campaign. Your characters within these campaigns can become legacy heroes that can be re-used in other campaigns and even advanced to higher tiers. So it looks like there's a lot of replayability. But the game's mechanical content lasts about 2 campaigns. There are THREE classes, each with 10-15 abilities (passive and active) as well as a small pool of general abilities. There's also 10-15 spells total for the mage class. By the time you've completed your second, maybe third, campaign, you'll have seen and done it all. Of course every person's sense of novelty is different... but I was shocked at how quickly the gameplay grew stale. By the third campaign, it's fair to say that 99% of the battles were mechanically identical to ones I'd already fought before. And even the procedurally chosen mini-vignettes started frequently repeating. The game has an undeniable charm but at this stage, I'd say it's more of a platform than anything. It desperately needs more content. More classes, more abilities, more vignettes. But while all of that will improve the GAME part of Wildermyth, I'm not sure anything will fix its fundamentally flawed story-telling. In a good story, details need to matter. If my main character's head gets replaced with a WOLF SNOUT, that should matter. It should inform every future interaction that character has. But in Wildermyth details don't matter. In short, Wildermyth is just a very light game. Story-lite, gameplay-lite. It's quite breezy. Which may be just what some people want. But anyone interested in depth in their gameplay and story will want to look elsewhere.Show moreShow less

Let me tell you something about this game. It starts off slow. It seems simple. It seems like it dosnt have much to offer. But hold fast young adventurer. I have just finished the first campaign and I am honestly blown away. On the surface this game dosnt seem like much. But the character progression is amazing! It feels like you are playing and DM'ing your very own DnD story. Seriously, try this game. Play through, at least, the first campaign and try and tell me you dont want to continue and see where your adventurers end up. I have never heard of Worldwalker Games LLC but they are forever on my radar for any games they create. Great stuff guys and gals! This is a must play!Show moreShow less

This game is praised by other for its randomly-generated storytelling, but the problem is you can’t tell a GOOD story with procedurally-generated sentences that are randomly strung together. A good story involves continuity. If a theme or element is introduced, it should be reinforced and expanded upon later. For example, if a character is a talented musician, it’s a part of their backstory; it’s part of how they cope with adventuring; it affects how other people see them. And over the course of the story, there should be times where that unique trait can be used to solve problems or get them into trouble. That’s DnD roleplaying 101. (I only bring this other because other people praise Wildermyth for being like DnD roleplaying.) Instead, the game generates random elements and then forgets them. In the epilogue, one of my characters “helped So-and-so design cloaks reminiscent of Cape Hook.” This character at no point in the entire game was ever shown to have an interest in fashion, have any connection to random location “Cape Hook”, or have any connection to the person she was helping. It was just madlib where three random nouns were inserted into a pre-written sentence. Unfortunately, that’s how all the story events play out. There are character parameters that guide the madlib selection—a “brash” character will pull madlibs from the “brash” bucket—but they still end up with a series of unrelated scenes. There’s no sense of continuity or climactic progression. On the gameplay front, the tactics-style battles are simple but enjoyable. After 5 hours, they’re starting to feel repetitive, but people have different tastes in terms of complexity. The overworld map gameplay, on the other hand, is paper-thin. There’s just…nothing there. Because of the way “work” towards scouting/building is calculated, the best strategy is simply to group your main squad together and march to the goal, scouting, building, and fighting as a group everything in your path.Show moreShow less

Wildermyth is just so good. I'm devoted to trying to get 100% achievements so I've been reading the wiki and planning my party compositions more, and normally that kind of kills the mystique of a game but I'm just stunned by the amount of content I'm still finding, as well as how well all the game's systems overlap to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. Fundamentally the gameplay loop is extremely well designed, you start with a party of heroes who grow older through the campaign. Campaigns last between 30 and 65 years, and are split between a campaign map and individual missions, a lot like XCOM. Your heroes collect gear, experience, and learn new abilities, but they also grow older and become weaker as a result of their age. Unlike in XCOM or a more traditional CRPG where you tend to get a few good dudes that are indispensable to the party and carry you through a campaign Wildermyth has your heroes gradually become slower and less capable until grandpa finally decides to lay down the giant magic ice sword and retire. Progressing through a campaign lets you try lots of different mechanics, recruit lots of different heroes, you can have highs and lows and the economic systems in the game are just complicated enough that you have good reason to use all the tools at your disposal without any one playstyle becoming overly dominant. It stays fun on multiple playthroughs because the combat is very well made and creates interesting situations, and the overworld is the same. The story told by the mechanics alone is good, but the game is also extremely well written. The sense of lineage and personality that these heroes get throughout their lives is really incredible, there's more than a dozen personality types which each hero has varying amounts of, and the types of people your heroes are determine both what kinds of events and situations you get, as well as what outcomes are feasible in these events. On top of this each hero gets 3 "hooks" which are literal story hooks for a wide variety of personal quests or "opportunities' as the game calls them, these events are everything from simple whimsical asides that offer slight buffs, to characters making peace with their inner demon and becoming part shadow creature. I'm on my 12th campaign at this point and I'm still finding new outcomes or even events I've never seen before. There's certainly repetition, but because there's multiple (sometimes extremely different) outcomes for most of these events it keeps it fresh, and sometimes it is nice when you get an event you know and you know the outcome you want as well, you can just hit F to skip all the way to the choice and if you don’t remember they’ve embedded links to the wiki in the game so you can read all the possible outcomes and pick the one you want. This is a REALLY nice feature if you’ve got a completionist mindset. If you’re like me you probably don’t customize characters at the start of a game in something like XCOM, you wait until someone makes a name for themselves and maybe you give them a cheeky nickname or some cooler looking armour. I had a character I wasn’t very fond of, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wizard who I didn’t use much so he was permanently underleveled, and his name was Bolo. I renamed him Bozo, and then Bozo had a warrior kid who I named Bozo Jr. Jr has been extremely useful ever since and more than made up for their father. Jr is a high mobility warrior with good action economy who’s head was transformed into a crow’s head after they insulted a weird bird lady they met in a barn. I love that. Wildermyth is good at making these narrative arcs, and since you can import characters from other campaigns as legacy characters into new campaigns they end up with this sort of mythic lore that follows them around, the last time I recruited Bozo Jr they got an introduction as a local badass who managed to 1v1 a gorgon and save their town, which is a special introduction that only legacy heroes get. It really is the little things that add up. I’d like to ramble about the characters I’ve made while playing, but that just brings me back to how good the writing is overall. Theres 5 enemy types; mechanoids, cultists, magic bugs, lizard men, and sea/forest monsters. Each of them get their own campaigns, all of which are pretty good. The first two campaigns are simple and light stories, decently told with mechanics that tie the narrative into the gameplay, but the third campaign takes it up a notch by gradually giving you procedurally generated characters who are related to the characters in the narrative, building up to what feels like a important conflict with history and consequences for the randomly generated party you’ve created. It is an excellent integration of narrative and gameplay, and the world it builds feels genuinely magical. Another campaign sees you making choices for and occasionally playing as the primary antagonist, who is themselves a tragic figure that the player is brought into conflict with through realistic and dare I say gripping narrative. The lizard people want to build their own nation and that demands conquering human lands, the player has no choice but to oppose this as the other option would be subjugation. Its a surprisingly deep story about generational conflict. The characters who start that campaign will likely age out by the 5th act, by the end of that campaign everyone is fighting everyone else’s children for the same reason their parents fought. A bittersweet end to a tragic tale, in a game that doesn’t even have animation. I really cannot recommend this game enough. Each campaign takes 4-8 hours to beat but can be played in bite sized increments, the combat is challenging and complex if you want it to be, it is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in terms of emergent narrative while also scratching that itch for a tricky turn based squad combat strategy game. Its like fantasy XCOM with more personality.Show moreShow less
