Roots of Yggdrasil Reviews
A roguelike for fans of city-builders, Roots of Yggdrasil deftly extends its branches to those who typically shy away from the live-die-repeat nature of the genre. It's not perfect, but speaking the city-builder language makes this an inviting roguelike experience that will challenge but not frustrate you.
Roots of Yggdrasil had the potential to offer a unique blend of mythology and gameplay, but its inability to break free from the shackles of repetitiveness and lackluster execution of key features relegates it to mediocrity. The vibrant world and diverse characters offer fleeting moments of intrigue, but they are ultimately overshadowed by the game’s failure to deliver a consistently engaging experience. Roots of Yggdrasil struggles to plant its roots firmly in the competitive landscape of roguelike city-building games.
