These sequences developed a story that was just as fun to watch play out as it was to play through. The adventure that he and another party member went on took some very wild turns and did not end the way I had expected.įurthermore, during each of these events, and I’ve seen many of them, something changed with a character or the dynamic between my characters, or both, that affected both gameplay and the tale being told. Or in another sequence, where that same male character decided that he was going to find a way to build someplace safe for his potential future family with one of my female characters. His appearance had immediately changed, showing a fire mark on his forehead, and his appendages became rather fiery, too. Before I knew it, I elected to set it free, just as it…requested? and my character became infused with fire.

The fire within called out to one of my characters. In a recent game, I stumbled upon a fire shrine of sorts. While defending the lands from various monster groups and assaulting groups of would-be marauders, all through glorious turn-based tactical combat, you’ll also take part in meaningful and game-changing character interaction sequences that will oftentimes change how you play the game. But what makes that part exclusively its own is the journey your characters will take in order to accomplish that task.īecause Wildermyth is just as much about the dynamic character interaction that occurs between your adventurers as it is about the strategic and tactical aspects of the game.

It starts off simply enough: gather a small group of adventurers, called a company, and set off to find the evil that’s plaguing the land. But then I learned more about the actual gameplay loop and I started to see that something special. You can see that in all of the screenshots. It has a beautiful and unique aesthetic, for one.

The reason I like this game so much is that there isn’t anything else quite like it. “Why?” you ask? Well, hold on a second and I’ll get there. In my constant vigilance for new and intriguing games that bear that special something, I’ve come across Wildermyth, which is a game that has shot straight to the top of my personal most-anticipated list.
