3DNews	Иван Бышонков	6.5 / 10	07-11-2021	Random adventures, generated in Wildermyth, are great at the first glance. However, after some time events are starting to repeat themselves, while monotonous combat and exploration mechanics killing all replay value. The game is quite interesting to read, but boring to play.	Read review
Chalgyr’s Game Room	Pierre-Yves Lanthier	9 / 10	07-20-2021	Overall though Wildermyth was amazing. The visual presentations mixed in with a procedural storytelling that adapts to your characters choices as well as your newer characters that join up was just brilliant. Add in a very well done combat system and there’s more than enough here to keep anyone occupied for a good long time as no two playthroughs should be the same.	Read review
COGconnected	Tony Bae	85 / 100	07-03-2021	Overall, Wildermyth is a fantastic addition to the CRPG genre that shows how great procedural generation can be when used smartly. I would highly recommend this game for anyone who is a fan of TTRPGs, maybe even with a couple of friends if your playgroup has been looking for something new to tackle.	Read review

Game Informer	Daniel Tack	8.8 / 10	07-26-2021	Wildermyth expertly gives players stories to explore with choices that have a significant impact on gameplay. If you like tactics games or tabletop roleplaying, Wildermyth is not to be missed.	Read review
GamingTrend	David Flynn	85 / 100	10-29-2021	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.	Read review
GRYOnline.pl	Łukasz Kosowski	8.5 / 10	09-08-2021	Wildermyth is my personal game of the year. Sure, the final grade may not suggest that, but I just know that I’ll be returning to this world many times. It’s not perfect, but its strength lies in a simple concept, tons of meaning hidden between the lines and a lot of charm that stole my heart. I want more surprises like this!	Read review
Guardian	Edwin Evans-Thirlwell	5 / 5 stars	07-02-2021	Witty writing, evocative art and engrossing battles combine in a wonderful homage to classic tabletop games	Read review
Hey Poor Player	Andrew Thornton	4 / 5 stars	07-18-2021	While I wish it took longer for content to start repeating, Wildermyth proves that a procedurally generated story can still be deeply moving, with memorable characters and relationships. What’s here is already well worth your time, but if the development team keeps working to provide more content, this could become one for the ages.	Read review

KeenGamer	Fintan McGuinness	9 / 10	06-20-2021	In Wildermyth, you lead your (sometimes) merry band of adventurers through the usual caves, canyons, and forests. But also, through love, loss and slowly turning into crows. In the world of Wildermyth, it’s best to expect the unexpected.	Read review
Niche Gamer	Ryan Pearson	8.5 / 10	07-03-2021	Wildermyth is a very good tactical RPG that pulls you in, and uses randomization to enhance, not compensate. Most flaws come down to personal taste, and being easy on the wallet for what scratches the tactical RPG itch so good means it is certainly worth the recommendation to anyone who loves the genre.

Polygon	Cameron Kunzelman	Recommended	08-24-2021	In a recent session, I had a rival pair, and one of them was slain by the final boss in the last turns of the entire game. I was presented with an option to either allow them to slink off the battlefield with a career-altering wound or have them strike out with their dying strength, dealing massive damage and sealing the victory. I weighed my options and had them take out the boss. What better way to end a rivalry than by saving the world?	Read review
RPGamer	Ryan Costa	3.5 / 5 stars	08-06-2021	The game is a very fun roguelite tactical RPG that introduces some very creative choices, such as the entire Mythic class and transformations. With simple combat that does not get boring even after many sessions, replayability is very high.	Read review
Screen Rant	Ky Shinkle	4 / 5 stars	10-21-2021	Overall, Wildermyth borrows elements from well-known tabletop games, and for all its stumbles, implements them with relative sophistication. It’s an ambitious delve into an engaging fantasy world and a player-driven series of stories at its core, creating a customizable framework with almost endless potential. It’s worthwhile to dive into for any player looking to find an online alternative to D&D, and thoroughly captivating whether playing alone or with a group.	Read review
The Games Machine	Emanuele Feronato	8.6 / 10	06-29-2021	Wildermyth is the best turn based strategy game out in the latest months, and also a great RPG. I would have preferred a unique big campaign rather than small stories that aren’t even that tied together, but smaller episodes could be more attractive to a casual audience. Artistically beautiful to the eyes, with a very particular style, capable of keeping you glued to the monitor for a long time, although there isn’t that much to do when we aren’t engaged in turn-based combat. To be played at a high difficulty level, turning the game into an epic chess battle.	Read review
