As you play you pick up different positive and negative traits as well as develop specific relationships with other characters. Wildermyth is most unusual for its character development. Along with the usual weapons and abilities, you can 'interfuse' with objects to cause them to catch fire, throw out shrapnel or entwine enemies. Heroes are represented in paper cut-out style and take turns to move or attack.

When you enter a battle, play switches to a turn-based grid system. There are also randomly generated side-quests that can be attempted, that offer advantages and disadvantages to your abilities. As you progress there are key decisions to make for your characters that affect the outcome of each story and the development of their relationship and personality. Between the action, you can spend time fortifying territories and building bridges across rivers. Play involves selecting three characters, then taking on tasks and missions. Themes of friendship, family and acceptance are established as these adventures play out over the decades of our heroes lives.

The focus is on the characters as much as their adventures, who are believable, diverse and fully fleshed out. You take on evil in a number of stories, each with different heroes and settings. Wildermyth is a medieval role-playing game about diverse heroes and themes.
