Wildmender is an Excellent and Unique Druid Open World RPG

[@peterkalafus9514]

- important advice, as soon as you find an acorn PLANT IT at your oasis for unlimited acorns (plant it near water in converted soil), it will also expand the soil (not sure if you can soft lock yourself if you don't plant an acorn soon) - when you look at the ground around water you can see somewhat darker soil (when planting it also says wet), this is wet ground and plants planted in it doesn't need to be watered, it's always next to water so if you dig a river it will follow it - vines from the memory seed skill allow you to climb faster, visibly faster, you throw them on a wall (can throw them again while climbing the wall) - also the quest to grow Amarath flowers was given to you by the ghost, if I remember right it will give you a memory after completion (check your journal for details) - you may want to listen to the guardian spirit and and the gods you rescue (read all conversations) since it will unlock new abilities or quest that will teach you how to do things or eventually unlock new abilities - while you can visit any place some places are more dangerous that others and you will need to complete some quests to make them survivable (you can still visit them right away and most likely die if you want to though)

I've got 30 or so hours in this and it really scratches the itch of "rebuild after the end boss". I find myself finishing other games and wishing I could help rebuild the world (botw i'm looking at you) and this plays less like going to kill the main evil guy, and more like mopping up after the end boss and restoring the damage. Incredibly satisfying.

[@Cuthawolf]

You're an important part of my day Splatty. Every morning I look forward to your videos, thanks for all the work you do. I'm so pleased Wildmender released, I loved the Demo.

[@bazamere]

Ive been waiting for splat to recover this game since it was fully released... this is such a beautiful and interesting game :) plus splat gets to play with little plants 😊 and channel his inner farmer

[@The4x4Mama]

I'm 6 weeks and 220 hours into my first playthrough. This game is absolutely incredible!! Can't recommend more!!!

[@gamingbud926]

Kinda interesting coincidence: *just yesterday* I was going down a rabbit trail looking at the past of Guns of Icarus, which took me to the devs' blogs, social media updates, and steam page just to see how they were doing. They happened to be streaming Wildmender at the time (same devs), which is where I first ever heard of the title. Now today, Splat happens to post a review of it 0.0

[@zephyrscythe3743]

I love this game! BTW the vines are used while climbing walls to make you climb faster. Such a time saver in some places

[@ATZag135]

Thank You Sir Splatt

[@lippy_8392]

Nice. I want this. This is why I follow this channel.

[@The-Brocolis]

This reminds me a little of slime rancher and I freaking loved those games, splattercat showing us some hidden gems again

[@jakebapple4509]

Love this game! Really great to play through more than once, too!

[@brigandboy1425]

This game looks awesome. Glad you are covering it again after so much time.

[@johnme7049]

You Always find the best stuff Bro. Thanks for this. Hope you had a great weekend,

[@eobet]

0:50 THAT POP IN!!! 🫣

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 this looks AWESOME 😮!

[@m97x51]

Thanks splat, you managed to make me spend my hard earned money

[@vforwombat9915]

so ofc splatt's favorite thing to play us a druid dwarf. or an orc paladin.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

whether holy retribution or nature's wrath, the dude just loves to smite shit!

[@deltaraven]

you can see I've got a few buildings "proceeds to call a table a building"

[@Skobeloff...]

This has been on my wishlist for a long time, this gameplay doesn't make it look like it will get further than that though

[@maybeits1K]

This game looks relaxing

[@j.d.6915]

Fun fact, the dude that said "We ain't found (&^^" is none other than a very young Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager.

[@armelior4610]

That looks much more like playing a farmer than a druid - maybe an herbalist with a bit of magic. But I suppose that doesn't sound as adventurous ^^

[@DerFreiegedanke]

The terraforming part sounds really nice. There was some Terraforming craze in the early 2000 with some Shooters that incorporated it like FRACTURE and even Strategy games like Perimeter and Maelstrom. I wish we could get that craze back as it was really nice emergent gameplay.

[@dawggydawgtown]

Astroneer is right there

[@DerFreiegedanke]

@@dawggydawgtown Yeah but how important is it for the rest of the game?

[@johnleorid]

At 12:06 you skipped the gener talk. xD

[@arifhossain9751]

So its basically an indie Breath of the Wild. Cool.

[@user-xt4ig8ml6o]

I thought the same, Zelda vibes!

[@steve323f]

Yup, the wind effects, the climbing, stamina bar to name a fraction. It is breath of the wild with enough changes to keep it legal. But it does look good though.

[@Vulture2k]

Did you guys miss the whole oasis building and terraforming stuff? I am quite sure that's not in breath of the wild and it's a essential part of this.

[@arifhossain9751]

@@Vulture2k Yeah So it's Breath of the Wild _Plus_

[@noahbuddie]

Yeah, not hating, but it's plainly obvious Breath of the Wild was a deep, deep inspiration for this game. Just in the first few seconds when Splat was saying he didn't think there was anything else like this, he's floating down, a laser's firing, and all I can think is, "No, this's obviously made to resemble Breath of the Wild." And who cares? So long as the boss isn't named Gastondwarf and the entire objective's to rescue a pointy eared princess... It can still be the new Zelda style and be its own game. How sub genres are created after all.

[@lololollololol629]

I tried this game after seeing an ad on youtube a bit after its release.. Haven't got that far into it though..

[@mrfun411]

Just bought it 😬

[@sword4005]

it a great game but it does have it flaws, the mission objectives can be very vague at time and have no direction, some of the area affects can really kill you quickly if you dont have the right gear unlocked

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

Seems they have really built on the promise in the demo, and still looking really good. 👍

[@spatialdistortion223]

+1 like for Spaceballs reference.

[@VinnyBloo]

+1 dislike for same reason.

[@chrisd561]

Review Cocoon. I just played it. It is a work of art!

[@Weirduniverse2]

looks great! 19e on ps5 just now with ps plus.

[@chrisstokoe3169]

I loved these types of games but sadly don't have time for exploring anymore to many games not enough time ughhh

[@justiinlay2840]

Reminds me of tail of the sun

[@karlosthehawk3730]

Omg it has X-RAY VISION

[@dogtato]

guessing vines are for going up

[@zacharychampoux1130]

I prefer wizards games, but this game also seems very very cool

[@dirtywhitellama]

Can you plant acorns?

[@Zoroarrkk]

Yup!

[@jc3582]

Hrrrm purchased within 4 minutes of the video and Im still on holiday for another 3 weeks.... im tired of you destroying my wallet splat

[@Keck_YT]

Have been playing genshin impact for the first time. See lots of similar elements here. The oasis/druid themes seem to set it apart a little bit

[@JonathanARae]

Please present more strategy-based resource management-survival games please. Thank you.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Is this game fully finished? It feels like it was still being worked on like yesterday.

[@Zoroarrkk]

It's out but updates are still happening. The Devs are really active on Discord.

[@The4x4Mama]

There are currently 5 biomes to discover and 5 Gods to discover plus many more plants to find. Much bigger then demo now. Plus devs are very active growing the game.

[@spatialdistortion223]

Vidyas? Are they the god of gamers or something?

[@JonathanARae]

Not alot of mobs seen.

[@Jak00Z]

Thanks

[@gerretoutdoors3710]

This feels like BOTW

[@KarmaScar]

Maaan, we ain’t found shit! 😂

[@mbielcik]

🖤

[@Raziel1984]

i think this screams Breath of the Wild .... but i do not think that this is a bad thing also looks like it has much unique stuff going on

[@Havok135]

Lol splat never heard of Zelda. That’s what this game is similar to.

[@GameTimeWhy]

Comment for the algorithm

[@Lunam_D._Roger]

Seconded

[@lukeandrew3335]

Thirded

[@centraltexasbear9973]

has splat covered this game before? nevermind

[@yrreg9087]

woa 32 seconds

[@HurricaneSA]

The more I see "post apocalyptic" games the less I care to find out more. I play games to cheer up, not to trudge along in a digital wasteland made purely for the sake of pushing some ideology I don't care about, until I'm more depressed than what I was before I started playing.

[@silverwing4153]

The game is great but it runs so bad at times.

[@divinelyshpongled]

eww looks like risk of rain.. yuck

[@irkanorphyn]

A game not shoving their ideology and politics down our throat? Might check it out.

[@MarkDeSade100]

Did you miss the part where they deliberately made the main character androgynous? Splat himself said that he couldn't even figure out if it's a boy or a girl, and I was thinking the same thing before he said it.

[@MrSongib]

Idk it's looks barren and boring, this remind me of starfield. xd

[@darthartagnan4737]

That's the point.. you are basically terraforming the planet.. if you aren't into planting and growing and harvesting stuff then this is not the game for you.

[@MrSongib]

@@darthartagnan4737 My bad, didnt watch till the end. But yeah it still feels that way from the ss in steam. Maybe I'll watch some gameplay again later.

[@johnmc6155]

Why are you talking ABOUT the game instead of PLAYING the game ?? Everytime you talk about the game, you STOP playing. Play the friggin' game -less talk.
