"In trying to appeal to a broad range of players, Sunderfolk feels like it's stopping itself from doing anything truly extraordinary. It's a game that anyone could play."
"The gameâs rules are meant to be easy to understand, and its light narrative is envisioned as an easy onramp for roleplaying."
Sunderfolk, launching April 23, is a cooperative tactical RPG from Secret Door aimed at making tabletop gaming more accessible through digital means. With a friendly, animal-themed character cast and easy-to-understand rules, the game is designed to lower the barrier to entry for new players. However, it risks feeling overly simplistic for seasoned RPG enthusiasts. The gameplay combines both an app and a main screen, allowing for fluid, organized turns without excessive downtime. Although it seeks to capture the magic of in-person RPGs, its broad appeal might dilute its potential depth.
