The critically acclaimed turn-based RPG launches on the 22nd of October 2024
Auroch Digital, a leading video game publisher, has announced that it will be bringing the beloved RPG, Wildermyth, to consoles on October 22nd. After receiving critical acclaim for its PC release, this character-driven, turn-based tactical RPG will now be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
In Wildermyth: Console Edition, players will lead a band of farmers turned heroes on epic adventures filled with decision-making and character-defining consequences. Every encounter in this procedurally generated game will shape the storyline and the appearance and abilities of your characters. Say goodbye to traditional fantasy tropes and hello to telepathic insect dragons and clockwork undead chimeras!
One of the unique features of Wildermyth is its reminiscent of tabletop roleplaying games, giving players that nostalgic feel of playing with friends around a table. Each scene is crafted with attention to detail, making it look like it’s straight out of a fairytale pop-up book. The game’s rich papercraft world is a refreshing break from the typical high-fantasy settings.
But the excitement doesn’t end there. As characters age or die, they pass on to their children, who will form the bulk of your party in subsequent campaigns. This added element adds a unique twist to the game, and players can even add their favorite heroes to a legendary pantheon and call upon them in future playthroughs.
To ensure the best gaming experience, Auroch Digital has redesigned the UI and controls for the console edition. The developers have taken great care to preserve the much-loved experience of the original release while optimizing it for a gamepad. The UI is easily readable, and the controls feel intuitive, making it a seamless transition from PC to console.
In addition to the original features, Wildermyth: Console Edition introduced two new and exclusive features. The first is the Monster Compendium, an in-game tome that provides detailed information and lore about enemies and their factions. This adds depth to the gameplay and allows players to immerse themselves in the world of Wildermyth fully.
The second feature is local cooperative multiplayer, where each player can control multiple characters and share in the unfolding story together. This is a great addition for those who prefer to play with friends or family and adds a social aspect to the game.
Fans of physical copies will be delighted to know that Wildermyth: Console Edition will be available at select retailers for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5. These physical editions will include a copy of the Monster Compendium and a new DLC pack, featuring a variety of off-hand items such as torches, shields, and more.
