May 25, 2025Sunderfolk is a standout debut from Secret Door—an overlooked gem with a strong, nostalgic multiplayer concept rooted in strategy and social play, offering a unique adventure that’s well worth your time, as long as you’re open to playing on a smartphone.

Apr 18, 2025Seeing a game from a new, small reality like Secret Door come to life in the way it did warms the heart and makes one still believe in the ability of videogames to gather a whole bunch of different people on one couch and make them enjoy time together while playing one of the most easily accessible RPG experiences out there.

May 14, 2025Sunderfolk is a good start to introduce beginners to the world of tabletop games without a complex set of rules and a lot of setup. The controls via app are technically well done, while at the same time the gameplay is challenging enough to allow the player to spend hours and hours in the world of Arden.

May 15, 2025Sunderfolk feels like it was tailor-made for people like me. The ones who were always put off by the long setup times of so many tabletop games, and the sheer time commitment they demand.

May 18, 2025I really enjoyed playing Sunderfolk, and I would love to go through a second time with a larger group and different characters. Though honestly, I’d also be equally happy to go again with the same avatar (I love my Pyromancer) and make different choices. It’s a lot of fun, and the nature of its additional objectives, varying missions between the campaign quests, and possible party compositions means it is the type of title that could be worth replaying with different folks or on varying difficulties. Sunderfolk works quite well and I’d recommend a it for a series of game nights.

Jun 4, 2025A highly enjoyable and entertaining multiplayer game that I would strongly recommend to fans of turn-based strategy and tabletop RPGs. Unfortunately, it doesn't have enough features for me to recommend it to those who don't already enjoy the genre.

Apr 18, 2025Its own story is indeed almost negligible, but Sunderfolk shines in its ability to be a catalyst or stage for self-generated stories and connections between you and your fellow players that will resonate even outside of the game. In this way, the devs at Secret Door truly succeeded in creating a digital, more approachable version of the TTRPGs we all love, even if it’s one with room to improve. I’m very excited to see where they can push this concept in the future.
