It’s been a while since I’ve played a game that fostered such gentle intimacy between characters – and there’s cooperative multiplayer, too, if you fancy recruiting real-life friends as fellow adventurers.
Indie RPG Wildermyth aims to combine the best of storytelling with the best of procedural generation and succeeds, thanks to great writing, solid tactics, and some very clever design decisions.

This is far away from my usual type of game, preferring Simulation and Management games. I saw it on Steam and thought i'd give it a chance.
I haven't stopped playing since purchase.
Music: Non-Invasive, adds to the atmosphere of the game and gets intense or mellows at the right parts. I'm working from home at the minute and have played this during quiet times, however have just left the game running when things pick up and had the music playing in the background and it didn't get annoying.
Graphics: Simple, customisable characters, reminicent of Fall Out in someways. All the skintones you need to really put yourself into the game and with Workshop access, the skys the limit. The characters are endearing, the worlds solid and the foes interesting but not grotesque.
Story/Writing: At times snarky, at others emotional, overall you can tell the writing team (or person initially) has put effort into their work and curated it to be "just right". The game is dialogue heavy at times, however combined with the gaphics and the engaging stories and the multiple-choice outcomes, it doesn't feel like a slog.
Overall: If you like TTRPG's, if you enjoy a more gentle approach to your gameplay but with exciting elements (akin to ****, but more action heavy), if you enjoy (customisable) storydriven gameplay...heck if you played Neopets way back when and were obsessed with KeyQuest, you will enjoy this game.
Just under £20 on Steam at the moment, not heavy on storage (2GB atm, developers are planning DLC in future), well worth the price for the amount of fun and engagement you'll be getting from this game.

Wildermyth is an exemplary achievement of how to integrate story and gameplay, each enhancing the other and backed by an attractive, storybook art style and stirring soundtrack. I hope to god there are more campaigns coming from the developers in the future because though there’s quite a few in there already, I don’t think I’ll be satiated on Wildermyth for a long time. After all, you never really want the best stories to end.
Wildermyth is a fun storytelling game with a ton of possible variance between playthroughs. The stories you make with the game can be very interesting, though it has a tendency to repeat itself a little too frequently.
A beautifully styled roleplay experience that takes the best of both tabletop and computer gaming worlds. Heroes age, time goes on, but there are always monsters to be slain. Join the fun.
Wildermyth doesn’t just tell you a single story. Instead, it weaves together many narrative strands to form a procedurally generated adventure for your characters. The tales it tells are superb and underpinned by an excellent combat system.
The developers chose an unusual path, but the product of their labor is neither roguelike nor a full-blown RPG. The game’s original concept is running idle.
Your characters grow on you. You start with a party of a warrior, a mage and a ranger and from there their character evolution is a mystery. Will they get to the end untouched? Will they bear scars that never fully heal? Will they fall in love ? Every player will have a unique experience, this game is simply a masterpiece and I'm hoping to see future updates.

Wildermyth is a tactical role-player in which the characters and events are procedurally generated each time you start a new game.
The combat is solid enough, and the procedural system works pretty well to allow players to develop their characters and relationships as they see fit, but without any scripted story beats it starts to feel a little repetitive before you reach the end game.

Pretty fun story generator with solid turn based combat and a lot of different ways for your character's stories to branch out and change. Overall it never feels anything other random and procedural, it doesn't compare to a more deliberately written RPG, but it isn't trying to do that either. It knows what it is and offers so much content that it'll be a fair while before you start double-dipping character events, and you'll be seeing new ones for a long time. Overall a fun game with a cool concept but not engaging over long periods of time.
