What is Wildermyth?
Wildermyth is a character-driven, procedurally generated, turn-based tactical RPG where decisions shape the story and characters evolve in dynamic ways. Players lead a group of ordinary farmers turned heroes, facing challenges that change their abilities and appearances, crafting a unique narrative each time.
The game draws inspiration from tabletop RPGs, with a rich papercraft world that feels like a fairytale pop-up book, and avoids traditional fantasy tropes, featuring creatures like telepathic insect dragons and clockwork undead.
As characters age or die, their legacy can continue through their descendants or legendary heroes, enriching future campaigns. Here you can find our detailed review about the PC version.
