Sunderfolk Reviews
Sunderfolk isn't great if you play it on your own, but the experience with friends is fantastic and memorable.
Even with no obligation to continue playing, it’s still a game I’m compelled to return to. Between its intricate character classes, wonderful voice acting from Anjali Bhimani, and how the title balances teamwork and individual player freedom, Sunderfolk is a real gem.
Sunderfolk pulls off a balance of depth and accessibility that few titles do. With its responsive and intuitive smartphone controls and fun co-op strategy, Sunderfolk offers something special, well worth adventuring through.
Sunderfolk knows exactly what it wants to be: an accessible RPG experience that you share with friends. The controls on your phone are smart, the combat is tactical, and the world feels alive and full of choices. There’s no hassle of setting up a board or finding a dungeon master. The game is chock full of content, and for groups of friends who’ve always wanted to try a tabletop RPG but haven’t had the time or inclination to delve into the rules, Sunderfolk is a godsend. It may not be revolutionary in terms of visuals or mechanics, but it carves out a new niche. This should be the perfect introduction to both analogue and digital RPGs. But it still falls a bit short. The game is on the slow side and lacks some streamlining. The phones feel like a cool gimmick. The less than stellar visuals can be partly ignored, but the game simply doesn’t offer enough truly cool moments, whether as a video game or a board game.
