Wildermyth: Console Edition is one of those games you might show non-gamers or indie sceptics as an example of what can be achieved with smart design, rather than large budgets. It’s an RPG/visual-novel hybrid that pulls off the rare feat of being charming and accessible, while still providing tough decision-making moments, plenty of expected and unexpected outcomes, and no shortage of turn-based combat. The core mechanics and assets might be limited, but the emergent storytelling elements and an evolving cast of heroes make every adventure feel epic without demanding vast swathes of your time. Unfortunately, the Wildermyth: Console Edition currently has technical issues more impactful than the occasional framerate drop or sluggish round transitions on the Nintendo Switch.

0:00 - Intro
0:51 - We need more emergent storytelling in video games
3:12 - Streamlined but satisfying mechanics
6:56 - Hold off for a patch or two
7:54 - Score
