Wildermyth Reviews
Wildermyth: Console Edition fails in its mission to properly bring the acclaimed indie RPG to the Nintendo Switch. Fans of tabletop RPGs and customizable narratives will still find fun here but the rest of the public will do better in waiting to see if the absence of support to our idiom and the critical bugs will be fixed in future updates. A shame, but if the journey teaches us anything, it's that even the worst tragedies can lead to a beautiful story in the end. I sincerely hope that's the case [for this game].

Wildermyth: Console Edition is an intriguing RPG that allows players to build their own narrative and follow the development of their characters throughout different campaigns. However, the game suffers from a lack of variations in its combat system, which ends up limiting some of its incredible potential. Still, it is a game worth checking out, especially for those who enjoy tabletop RPGs.

Wildermyth serves as a perfect entry point to newcomers to tactical RPGs, with beautiful artwork, a brilliant blend of strategy and storytelling, and a wealth of user-created content that will keep players coming back for more.
While I wish it took longer for content to start repeating, Wildermyth proves that a procedurally generated story can still be deeply moving, with memorable characters and relationships. What’s here is already well worth your time, but if the development team keeps working to provide more content, this could become one for the ages.
The game is a very fun roguelite tactical RPG that introduces some very creative choices, such as the entire Mythic class and transformations. With simple combat that does not get boring even after many sessions, replayability is very high.
Overall though Wildermyth was amazing. The visual presentations mixed in with a procedural storytelling that adapts to your characters choices as well as your newer characters that join up was just brilliant. Add in a very well done combat system and there’s more than enough here to keep anyone occupied for a good long time as no two playthroughs should be the same.
At first, I didn't think that Wildermyth was a game for me. But after one round of "just checking in" that ended in a session several hours long, I knew that this was a great tactical experience.

As you put the hours into Wildermyth, you craft fable after fable that is unique to you. You build up a legacy of heroes that can grow by picking them up in other campaigns. You bond to these characters because they can stay with you forever, even if their stories don’t always have a happy ending. Every path you watch them take feels special, and there’s always a new story to be told.
This is the ultimate “easy to learn, difficult to master” tRPG, being made up of a few basic stats that are easy to keep track of. That’s in addition to numerous more subtle mechanics that occur behind the scenes, and these can be safely ignored or manipulated for an even greater advantage over your opponents. Wildermyth‘s difficulty curve becomes incredibly uneven toward the end of its fourth campaign, however, and the fifth and final campaign’s difficulty arises primarily from a number of annoying mechanics that exist to waste your time. Still, Wildermyth is great. It feels like it’s one balancing patch away from becoming one of the best tRPGs on the market.
