A great deckbuilder game with meta progression, that is in Early Access and still a bit raw around the edges. The art style and gameplay look awesome so I have very high hopes for this title.
I had the opportunity to play Roots of Yggdrasil a few days before the Early Access release. I love the looks of Roots of Yggdrasil and I’m so happy to see a deckbuilder with meta progression. I hope we will see that more in games as I prefer to build something up instead of having to do it all correctly in one run.
However, Roots of Yggdrasil looks a bit raw around the edges. I don’t want to criticize it too much as the game was not even released in early access while writing this, but it felt a bit too early for early access. I found some sentences weirdly structured, but this might be just a typo or changing it a few times, and after a while the developers not noticing that the sentence structure didn’t seem to be correct anymore. Also, 2 of the settings screens go further than the screen on my monitor which is a 3440×1440. And not all the achievements seem to unlock when you fit the conditions that they describe.
Let this not turn you away from this rough gem, as I see so much potential and like where it is going. I trust this all will be fixed and improved in the coming days/weeks. And I can’t wait to see where this game will end up after it releases out of early access. It looks beautiful, has an awesome story and the gameplay is a lot of fun, which is the most important thing of all. Having a bad run will not hurt you and good runs will help you with the meta progression.
