There were moments in the game, where i was thinking, "might be nice to appreciate the models from more varied angles... or if they had a bit clearer design for the top down view you're playing in... but well, it works as is and supports the rest of the game and especially co-op design a lot better.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a really fun roguelike hack and slash game with a good progression, though I would say the game needs to be balanced more in terms of difficulty (it was a bit too easy for us in normal mode).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I consider this a game with great potential, playing with somebody is amazing and makes the game a lot more enjoyable, the difficulty is to be worked on and there's plenty things to add to the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Wild Woods has a charming art style and a fun premise for co‐op, but the game falls apart once you realize how shallow the experience actually is.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So much potential in this little package; incredibly cute, good multiplayer fun.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That roadmap looks promising, with future updates planned to introduce new character roles—like dedicated scouts, healers, or fighters—more biomes, additional bosses, and improved quality-of-life features such as hot-join functionality, session browsing, and seasonal events.
