Initially your characters are fairly faceless, almost literally so, as a consequence of the game’s simple, childlike art-style. However you want to compare it, it’s probably my favourite game of the year.Ī Wildermyth campaign starts in classic fantasy fashion, with a ragtag group young men and women getting their feet wet in the art of heroism by defending their home from attack by monsters. It’s fantasy X-Com, Crusader Kings but for questing. Blending an astonishingly flexible interactive narrative with rich turn-based battles, Wildermyth sees you take a party of youngblood adventurers fighting with pitchforks and pickaxes, then slowly transform them into grizzled heroes and even epoch-spanning legends.

Wildermyth is essentially an epic series of fantasy novels that you write as you play.
