Wildermyth is one of those one-in-a -million games for me. It has a charm to it that really makes it unique.

At face value, one could say that it's just a procedurally generated Fire Emblem or XCOM, but there is so much more happening under the surface. There is a system where your characters develop differing relationships with each other. There is an entire system that allows your characters to transform. To top that off, events can occur that relate to these systems. There's so much more to this game than it seems.

As far as storytelling and characterization goes, that's where this game shines. The individual events are varying levels of fun, and usually have an impact on your party, be it a transformation, a legendary weapon, or even an elusive pet! Watching my characters develop as they age is a joy, and there are even a few I've grown attached to. To add to that, you can even bring back your faves in later campaigns. No joke: the last chapter of All the Bones of Summer felt like Avengers: Endgame, what with all of my favorite characters showing up and all.

I can't wait to see what else the devs have in store for this game. There's more to come, and it's exciting.

This is, beyond a shadow of doubt, one of my favorite games out on Steam. I have bought this game for a few friends, and recommended it to even more. And now I'm here, recommending it to you. Please play this game. You won't regret it.
