Farmers who become legends, and a story that belongs to no one but you.

On the gut pick, no criterion, Wildermyth gets ahead of 55% of games. Just above the middle. But the detail draws a far sharper profile. Desert island climbs ahead of 82% of titles, attachment ahead of 68%, rediscovery ahead of 61% on few votes. And yet controller feel collapses to the floor, ahead of only 4% of games. Sound follows at 10%, fun at 17%. That is the tension: a game you take with you, a game you hold on to, whose moment-to-moment feel convinces nobody. You love it for what it tells, not for what it does under your fingers.

In turn-based tactics, next to the genre's benchmarks, Wildermyth is not chasing mechanical depth. It generates fates, scars, relationships. A storytelling game wearing a combat game's coat.

So, who is it for? For you if you want your heroes to age, get hurt, remember, and if you want a campaign nobody else has lived. Much less so if you came for tight tactics and the pure pleasure of the fight.
