April 2025
Don't assume that you will simply read words and click more words in this game. While there are some text based games out there that strictly produce paragraphs of plotline hedged by your occasional selected decision, the music, illustrations, and yes, even the text in this game do more legwork than many animated games. Having played through my first try on the easiest level (I wanted to get to know the game for its plot before risking any major battles), I found the game particularly charming and mysterious. The soundtrack is also quite lovely. It is hard to describe the game in detail without giving too much away. If you like fantasy/worldbuilding you'll probably like the game's careful attention to those details that make your mental image of your location and your decisions that much clearer. If you like to weigh the morals of your decisions and hunt down the truth, you will enjoy the game's investigative nature and hidden secrets. If you like social strategy and relationship building, you'll have no shortage of people to connect with and charm/piss off. I cannot think of any cons this game has. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was more visual than I expected and left me in happy mood when I had achieved everything I sought to achieve. A note for children: I think the nature of the game might mean it isn't so popular with most kids... not in the Fortnite era, anyway. I wouldn't buy this for a child younger than 12 because I would guess that they would either find it boring or feel uncertain about the implications of some of their decisions. At the same time, the topics discussed aren't mature, graphic, or tragic to the point that I would keep this game away from a child who was interested in it. I think anyone 14 or older, particularly someone who enjoys reading and contemplating, would enjoy this game. A note for mental illness: As someone with multiple mental health issues, I did not find anything too troubling to continue through. There are mentions of some serious events - forced marriage, one or more people being attacked by wild beasts, verbally abusive family dynamics, multiple wars, religious abuse/abuse of power by religious leaders, cults, close relatives who pass away due to a plague, and the same plague having the potential to destroy the population of a certain town. Some of those topics do align with real, terrible events in my life, but the game does not depict anything in a way that caused difficult emotions to come up for me. On the contrary, I enjoyed thinking through the choices and alternatives laid out before me in those situations with a bit of my life experience behind my choices. Another thing: Whomever created this game seems to have a very strong understanding of human motivations and philosophies. Nothing felt railroaded and my decisions led to very intuitive results.

Roadwarden is without a doubt one of the best story-driven fantasy games I've played in years. Fans of The Witcher, the Farseer Trilogy, LotR, Earthsea, and many other classic fantasy novels will all find something to enjoy here.

My first steam game. I was a pc gamer way back in the early 90s up to 1999 and love text games. So for me this is a joy to play & takes me back. If you like text base games give this a go it has quite a bit of replay to it as well. If you don't like to read then this game is not for you. PS. Thank you for reading my review 8/10

It's like a medieval low-fantasy rural cop simulator where you have to make the people of the region realize that you are indeed built different compared to the last Roadwarden.
