Gaming NexusJason DaileySep 20248/10A roguelike for fans of city-builders, Roots of Yggdrasil deftly extends its branches to those who typically shy away from the live-die-repeat nature of the genre. It's not perfect, but speaking the city-builder language makes this an inviting roguelike experience that will challenge but not frustrate you.

Screen HypeFiachra Ó CuanacháinSep 20248.4/10The character art and audio is charming and beautiful which brings the mythical world to life. Overall this game is engaging and addictive. If you are a fan of roguelikes and deck builders, this one is for you! I would absolutely recommend this game to friends, especially those who love Norse mythology!

Game8Aaron BacabacSep 202478/100Like the roots and branches of the World Tree that stretch across the Nine Realms, Roots of Yggdrasil boldly branches out, blending elements from various genres to create something not only new but great. As with any ambitious fusion, there are a few missteps—the fragmented story, imbalanced cards, and average audio being the most noticeable. Yet the game earns high marks for its daring approach, venturing into uncharted territory. Much like the survivors of Ragnarok, the potential for greatness is undeniable, and with continued development, it could grow even further.

Rectify GamingWill "FncWill" HogeweideJan 20244.5/10Roots of Yggdrasil had the potential to offer a unique blend of mythology and gameplay, but its inability to break free from the shackles of repetitiveness and lackluster execution of key features relegates it to mediocrity. The vibrant world and diverse characters offer fleeting moments of intrigue, but they are ultimately overshadowed by the game’s failure to deliver a consistently engaging experience. Roots of Yggdrasil struggles to plant its roots firmly in the competitive landscape of roguelike city-building games.
