The Game at a Glance
What is Wyldheart?
Wyldheart is a cooperative action RPG set in the rustic fantasy realm of the fallen Kingdom of Caerwyn. Developed by Wayfinder Studios, the game rejects chosen-one tropes and casts players as ordinary peasants who must brave dangerous dungeons, uncover ancient relics, and survive threats looming across a tabletop-inspired world.
A typical run sends one to four adventurers across a modular hex-crawl overworld map of roughly 250 handcrafted tiles. Parties navigate real-time physical combat, investigate rumors without floating map pins, delve into trap-filled dungeons, and pitch camp to cook meals, repair broken gear, and restore depleted Hope before permadeath strikes.
