![]() The easiest way to learn this is just by jumping in and starting. In between each tile is a tile border which will tell you the slope between each corner and if all the borders are flat then the tile is flat. The game is split up into 'tiles' (think blocks) and within each tile is 4 imaginary quarters and, when you dig, you will lower the corner of the tile you're stood in by one. But before I go into more detail I'll just mention that I've only been playing for a week and already this mechanic now makes sense to me and so I believe if you stick at it it will eventually become intuitive to you too. Perhaps there is one mechanic which is slightly difficult to get your head around and hopefully if I can explain it now it will help if you decide to try Wurm. This game is almost true to life which can be beneficial when drawing from your own knowledge. Compared to some other games where they attempt to cut corners to make things more accessible, it actually loses some of its intuity and makes things more confusing. And, whilst complex, the game actually is very intuitive which makes it easy to remember what you're learning. I will say that anyone that's looking to invest their time into learning a truly rewarding RPG, this is absolutely the game for you. Rather, these are unique, different islands which you are free to sail/teleport between. These aren't servers in their usual sense of being instances of the same map. The game is split up into two worlds called 'clusters' and on each cluster there are multiple islands called 'servers'. Wurm Online is the exact opposite of this, everything in the world has its place in it and the world feels truly complete. My only argument for this is that compared to AAA titles this game offers much more mechanically in the way of terraforming and other sandbox features which, of course, is going to give you limitations compared to the scripted gameplay you see in modern titles where you are just following a set path and going off that route and clipping out of the map there will be no textures behind what you're meant to see. But for some of you this might be enough to put you off entirely. ![]() ![]() Now, me personally, I didn't mind the graphics to begin with and, since then, it's grown on me to the point where I think the game is quite beautiful actually. I feel like I need to mention this point as a disclaimer as it may turn many of you away: the graphics. The game reminds me of dwarf fortress with all the depth and lore but with a much more playable interface with actual graphics and whatnot. There are something like 120 skills (masonry, meditation, religion, yo-yo making, puppeteering, climbing, thieving.) all of which you are free to level up as you choose with no class system. Since then the game has expanded its team and is still receiving regular updates, with the game set to launch on Steam later this year. I recently discovered a game called Wurm Online and I felt the need to write about it because I wouldn't be surprised if, like me, many of you have not even heard about this game and I feel it is criminally underappreciated.Ī bit of backstory: the game was created by two friends who started development in 2003 and, by 2007, one of the developers, Markus Persson, left the company to work on his own project: a little game called Minecraft. ![]()
