    The art for this game is gorgeous. If only the gameplay could back it up. Turn based combat feels so empty in this game. See X-Com for where turn based combat can leave you screaming in joy or pain at the screen. I never once felt that level of emotion with this.
    Procedurally generated characters leaves them feeling empty and lifeless, like they were generated by an algorithm.    The art for this game is gorgeous. If only the gameplay could back it up.

    Procedurally generated characters leaves them feeling empty and lifeless, like they were generated by an algorithm. Probably because they were generated by an algorithm. I saw through this facade so easily, because it's right in your face when you encounter the next procedurally generated character option, six hours into the game, that you've already seen. The art for this game has so much life and creativity. Why is everything else so lifeless?    … Expand

    절차적생성으로 이 정도 즐거움을 준다는게 놀랍지만 한번 그 패턴이 눈에 익히기 시작하면 질리기 시작하는 한계점이 빠르게 찾아온다....

    AAA publishers should look at this game and weep.

    To be quick about it: this game is a triumph. The writing is bittersweet, goofy, and surprisingly deep in equal measure. Seriously, after suffering through the cringe-worthy writing in FF7 Remake, this game is food to a starving man. The storytelling is fantastic and at a quality level that I thought would be impossible

    Pretty fun story generator with solid turn based combat and a lot of different ways for your character's stories to branch out and change. Overall it never feels anything other random and procedural, it doesn't compare to a more deliberately written RPG, but it isn't trying to do that either. It knows what it is and offers so much content that it'll be a fair while before you startPretty fun story generator with solid turn based combat and a lot of different ways for your character's stories to branch out and change. Overall it never feels anything other random and procedural, it doesn't compare to a more deliberately written RPG, but it isn't trying to do that either. It knows what it is and offers so much content that it'll be a fair while before you start double-dipping character events, and you'll be seeing new ones for a long time. Overall a fun game with a cool concept but not engaging over long periods of time.… Expand

    The developers chose an unusual path, but the product of their labor is neither roguelike nor a full-blown RPG. The game’s original concept is running idle.

    A beautifully styled roleplay experience that takes the best of both tabletop and computer gaming worlds. Heroes age, time goes on, but there are always monsters to be slain. Join the fun.

    Wildermyth is trying something very few other RPGs do, and it's cool to see how well it all comes together. I find it to be technically impressive and remarkably novel, but unfortunately, the end result is not as interesting as I hoped it would be. Still, with a great aesthetic and a solid enough combat system, it is an earnestly made game unlike much anything else.
