Critic reviews
- 9.0Root Board Game is perfect if you’ve ever fancied leading a faction in an interspecies woodland battle - and who hasn’t? This is a high-quality port of an intriguing and unique board game that makes for an immersive turn-based strategy experience.
- Root is an engaging, complex strategy game full of adorable yet ferocious forest critters. Choose a faction and fight to rule the wilderness.
- Overall, Root is a strong adaptation of a great board game. While I’ll always prefer to play the board game version, the digital edition is a good alternative if I’m on the road or want to play against others while social distancing. The board game has two primary expansions that between them adds four additional factions and two additional battleground map options that are sure to be translated into paid DLC.
- 8.0Barring a few small problems, the digital edition of Root is a faithful and fun interpretation of the board game. Its inventiveness and strategic depth are sure to win over any strategy die-hards who want to test their skills against online opponents.
