Wildermyth

A really great gem of a game. I played it soon after release and then sadly kind of forgot about it, although I really liked it. Picked it up again a short while ago and I am loving it. The artwork reminds me of old children books, but the stories are decidedly more mature. Othe people have already praised the great mix of tactical combat, artwork, music and story telling, and I have nothing more to add. It is a really, really great game. The best way to enjoy Wildermyth (in my opinion): pick a rainy or overcast day, make yourself cozy, brew your favourite cup of tea, maybe add some biscuits. And then start a new adventure. Take your time reading the texts, immersing yourself in the slowsly unfolding lives of your characters. Like reading folktales of old. And don't be shy to start playing on lower difficulties first. Wildermyth tactical combat is just complex enough to keep you interested, without being unforgiving. And always remember, that also a tragic death can be an important part of the tale you are weaving while playing.

I really like the random factors that make every character you pick up get easy to attach to. You can make two builds the same, but it's really difficult to, which I find a good thing. The lasting changes to the characters from scars, to outfits, to transformation really fill a niche in gaming I really like.

i love this game genuinely would love to see this concept as like a comic book with superheros who gain power ups the same as this game would be awesome
