If enough time pass between the chapters, children of a couple can join you.Ĭampaigns are divided in chapters and each chapter can be decades apart, with the characters growing old and gaining white hair and wrinkles, until they have to leave the party. I haven't done it, but I guess the transformation can go all the way until the character is transformed into a man-shaped animal.Īll the characters are randomly generated and have some personality traits (like poetic, greedy, coward), which will change some of their lines in the dialog sequences and add some hooks for secondary questsĬharacters can have relationship between them (romance, rivalry, friendship), which give stat bonus when they're fighting together, but I haven't seen much impact. For the transformations, after each chapter, you can allow the transformation to progress or not, giving you stats changes and maybe new skills. Throughout the game, usually before/after the combat phase, there are dialogues sequence that either give bonus for the combat, some loot, stat upgrades or give a hero a transformation, like replacing limbs with rock or wood equivalent or adding animal features (I've seen raven wings). The magic system works by linking the mage to objects in the environment, which allow the mage to cast a spell from the object (so the spell range is measured from the object, which isn't clear at glance and burned me a few times at the start) it also means that the map will play a big part on how useful mages will be, as on a barren map, they'd be useless The story emphasis is even implied by the name Wilder myth, which I believe the devs discuss somewhere on their site or something. If you go for a lighter experience that's more based on wanting to see what happens to your guys, I think you'll have a better time. If you go into it looking for a tactics RPG, I think pretty much anyone will be disappointed. But more like one of those strategic visual novels than say a tactics RPG.
If they can fill in the content, I think it'll be a great game. But in terms of seeing emergent storylines and gameplay, I enjoyed it quite a bit other than feeling it needed a lot more content (I haven't touched it since April 2020). or even weird things like one starts to mutate which can either be awesome or really terrible.Īpproached as a straight tactics game, I'd agree that it kind of sucks. Like when two of them become romantically entwined and then one dies heroically to save the other, or when two develop a friendly rivalry that push them to greater heights, etc.
It's a story based game where the story is based on the campaign you've chosen and the random events where you wait and see what sorts of things happen to your characters and when it works well, you actually grow to care about the characters even though they're literally all products of RNG.
No, it's only tangentially a tactical game in the sense that it needs that in order to frame what it's actually trying to do.
