I’m contractually obligated to call you a coward if you don’t play it

Sin thought you should playWildermyth. In fact, she was quite insistent that you play the storytelling tactical RPG. Bluntly so, even. “Play Wildermyth, you cowards,“she said. The big hook is that you play procedurally generated adventurers who develop into proper little paper people as their lives change and stories grow along the way. You’re no coward, I know, but perhaps you didn’t fancy buying it in early access? Good news: as of today, Wildermyth has hit version 1.0 and officially launched. Check it out in the launch trailer below.

Wildermyth always starts with a band of farmers taking up arms against monsters, then spirals from there depending on their randomly rolled personalities, and how your adventures go, and the decisions you make. Your band will grow more powerful, sure, but they’ll also age, and develop relationships, and fall in love, and grow as people, and suffer tragedies.

I’d just like to point out the party member names Borglin Stack and Soria Gore.

It does sound good, doesn’t it. I mean, obviously I know that, because I definitely played Wildermyth instead of just more Binding Of Isaac. But you, perhaps you find that enticing.

Today’s version 1.0 update has brought newness including new ability upgrades, a new five-chapter story campaign, a revamp of the “generic campaign events” to be more interesting, more life-or-death Mortal Choices, new Final Moment events for when a hero dies, achievements, and various tweaks and bug fixes detailed inthe patch notes.

The developers, Worldwaker Games add that leaving early access “doesn’t mean we’re all done, but it does mean we think it’s a complete game and we won’t be making big changes to the structure of it.”

Wildermyth is availableon Steamfor Windows, Mac, and Linux. A 20% launch discount brings it down to £16/€17/$20 until Tuesday the 22nd.

Alright, I have to wrap up this post now because someone’s posting white feathers through my letterbox while hissing—I think—“cow herd”? What does that even mean. Who would…
