Играйте в компьютерную адаптацию полюбившейся всем настольной игры. Root – военно-приключенческая игра, где от 2-х до 4-х игроков сражаются за контроль над обширным лесным массивом.
Подлая Маркиса де Коте захватила лес, намереваясь присвоить его богатства. Многие жители леса объединились под ее гнетом. Союз стремится укрепить свои позиции и подорвать власть кошек. В этом деле Союз может заручиться помощью странствующих Бродяг, которые способны перемещаться по самым опасным лесным тропам. И хотя некоторые из них разделяют чаяния и мечты Союза, странники достаточно стары, чтобы помнить больших хищных птиц, которые когда-то контролировали леса.
Тем временем на окраине надменная и вздорная Династия нашла нового командира, на которого возложены надежды как на лидера фракции, который восстановит их древнее неотъемлемое право на лес.
Всё готово для схватки, которая решит судьбу огромного леса. Игроки выяснят, какая группа в конечном счете пустит здесь корни.
Партия Маркисы де Коте, самой недавней завоевательницы леса, заключается в строительстве и материальном обеспечении, а также поддержании порядка в обширном лесном массиве. Производя дерево, она строит мастерские и лесопилки и размещает вербовщиков, чтобы набрать победные очки. У Маркисы де Коте сама большая армия в ROOT, но одной численности недостаточно, чтобы охранять лес...
Маркиса де Коте создает мощную промышленную военную машину для покорения леса. Каждый раз, когда Маркиса строит мастерскую, лесопилку или размещает вербовщика, вы получаете победные очки. Чем больше на карте построек одного типа, тем больше очков приносит следующая. Однако для продолжения активного строительства Маркисе необходимо поддерживать и оберегать эффективную объединенную экономику леса. Очень соблазнительной выглядит попытка превзойти соперников количеством, но есть опасность взяться одновременно за слишком много дел и в конечном счете не угнаться за ними.
До прихода кошек лесом правила Крылатая династия. Они должны вернуть контроль, захватывая территорию и строя гнезда, до того, как снова повздорят. Надменная Династия подчиняется уставам своих лидеров. У каждого лидера своя специализация и преимущества. Правильный лидер в нужное время может привести вас к победе, но неверный лидер может подорвать ваши шансы на возвращение леса.
Вечером Династия получает победные очки, исходя из количества гнезд на карте. Чем их в лесу больше, тем больше очков они приносят. Однако Династия связана уставом — постоянно увеличивающимся набором предписанных действий, назначенных лидером. В каждый ход необходимо совершить все действия по уставу, чтобы не наступила смута.
Лесной союз не любит тиранов — старых или новых. Маркиса, Династия — все они одинаковые. Этим лесом может править только народная воля! Лесной союз — мастера партизанской войны, они медленно раскачиваются, но если смогут за это время низвергнуть других претендентов на власть, то создадут к концу партии великую державу.
Лесной союз зарабатывает поддержку различных лесных существ. Союз получает победные очки, размещая жетоны поддержки. Чем больше жетонов поддержки на карте, тем больше очков они приносят. Чтобы заручиться поддержкой народа, нужны сторонники. Сторонники также могут действовать насильственными методами, подстрекая лесных жителей к открытому восстанию. Когда вспыхивает мятеж, Союз сооружает базу. Базы позволяют Союзу обучать офицеров, повышая военную мощь и маневренность."
Для одних Бродяга — авантюрист, а для других — торговец, вор для большинства и, как ни крути, прохвост. Играя за Бродягу, в поисках предметов и руин вы исследуете всю карту: не только поляны, но и густой лес. Вы можете помогать воюющим фракциям в долг или получая взамен то, что поможет вам выполнить собственные секретные задания.
Бродяга играет со всеми сторонами конфликтов, выполняя задания, чтобы повысить свой авторитет в лесу. Бродяга получает победные очки, когда улучшает отношения с другой фракцией или уничтожает бойца враждебной к нему фракции. Также для получения победных очков можно выполнять задания. Чтобы перемещаться и действовать эффективно, Бродяга должен распоряжаться набором предметов и расширять свой выбор, исследуя лесные руины и оказывая помощь другим фракциям.

This is a super fun strategy game that might seem complicated at first but is really, very simple. The tutorials in this online version make it even easier to learn to play. If you're already a fan of Root, this online version is an amazing choice. It's filled with cute animations and lots of ways to play. You can finish a game in less than half an hour! Though, sometimes I think it goes a little to fast during the computers' turns. I occasionally feel like I want to go back and see what they did. Overall, however, Root is a very entertaining game and this online version is especially fun.
I enjoyed the actual board game a lot, expecting the digital version to be just as fun. In the original game one key aspect is that players can talk and bargain with others to get the game in favor of themselves. However, it is quite disappointing that the digital version doesn't have an effective communication system. I think it takes away most of the fun of the game.
For single player challenge mode, I really liked that there are many challenges available. However, some of the challenges are just impossible unless you got very good RNG. Even with good luck, the AI makes stupid moves all the time and ruins the game, it really pisses me off.
Overall, I don't recommend this digital version unless you are playing with friends and communicating through discord or any voice chat.
This game as a whole is extremely well thought out and the fact that each character plays and scores differently makes for interesting dynamics among players depending on how much each player knows how another character scores points. The illustrations are also one of my favorite parts of this game, and the animations make for a cute and fun experience too.
I have this game in the physical form and love it but find it difficult to get others to play because of the rules, and in turn learning myself because of its complexity. This makes it so much easier to learn and play with others more often, especially since it tells you why some actions just happened (or didn't) in a log on the side.
Root is probably my favorite board game. I own most all of the content in physical form and I am always itching to bring it out and get into the chaos with friends. Having a digital implementation is great to scratch that itch, but now games can be played in an 1/8th of the time. Having a great digital version also helps to reinforce all of the little rules that support this game. If you are into very crunchy war simulators, this is for you.
A very fun game with many interesting factions for all kinds of play styles, especially if you have friends to play with. Winning as the corvid conspiracy is one of life’s finest pleasures.
Disconnecting from a game can be very annoying but hopefully is patched through great new update
Very fun. Good way to learn the game. Just wish they'd fix the wierd disconnection issue that happens sometimes.
Good:
- The core gameplay is great.
- The added aesthetic elements (music, animations, etc) do a nice job of extrapolating from the vibe of the board game.
- DLC purchases on one platform sync to all platforms that you own the game for via the devs' cloud system. Not sure why this isn't more prominently touted in the description text.
Bad: Currently there is a confluence of issues which diminish the experience of playing this game (although whether any of these are problems for you may depend on expectations):
- In my experience, the AI often seems to not take the approach which I would expect of even novice human players. I repeatedly have the experience of watching a particular AI faction start to pull ahead with points, while the other AI players completely ignore that faction and instead focus on antagonizing eachother and me. So then you get things like multiple games in a row where weaker factions like the Corvid Conspiracy achieves a victory that I saw coming but couldn't do anything about. So really the only viable approach a lot of the time is to play as one of the factions which are oriented towards steamrolling and/or avoid certain faction combinations which the AI is especially bad with, but then you get less variety.
- Getting a full game with three other random humans going via the in-game match-making system can require a fair amount of waiting outside of peak hours. You'll want to either: 1. check SteamDB for the time of day when most people are online and plan on playing then, 2. join the Woodland Warriors Discord server and coordinate there, or 3. have three people you can call and demand to join you.
Loved the idea of the board game but wasn't sure I would be able to find enough people to play it with me, so was glad to hear a digital version was available. Enjoyed my few plays so far. Character art is beautiful and the game is relatively easy to pick up, and increases in complexity as you begin to have more factions available for play.
Good game. Nice game.
UI on steam deck is quite hard to navigate. unclear what actions are available
Very fun, I used it to learn the game that my brother bought. I think the tutorial is lacking in certain aspects: It took a long time before i understood what crafting items does, since it doesnt explain that you dont need the items for the vagabond.
Steep learning curve but really well designed board game. There seems to be some slight powercreep with newer factions but overall a very enjoyable game.
I find this game extremely soothing, the art and animation make it very pleasing to see while you can think up strategies and tactics.
It can be enjoyed by chill players here for a nice time and by hardcore risiko fans, as there are easier and way harder factions to play as.
bought this game after playing the board game as a way to get better at it and have more people over to play it at my house. when playing the board game i was sort of overwhelmed and confused at the mechanics, and this helped so much and i feel like its helping me get better! i like it a lot!
Great game! actually better than the board game as it's faster to play and the rules are easier to learn.
I am Root
A game I crave often, the theme, art, and asymmetric strategy are S tier!
A fun game I wish I knew more of the lore and roleplaying game that came out of this!
3/4 of my public games have someone rage quit after 2 people cross the map to commit all their resources on my corvid plots (it's a well protected raid) and leave the last person to win uncontested with a 14 point lead
Its a great game, too bad its a hassle to teach when playing in meat space due to its asymmetry nature
It's the real deal. The initial investment of learning an army pays off, as each has a delightfully different experience during play.
Read several reviews that talked about sync issues, and didn't really think much of it.
The actual game is great, I've played it in person several times, but I couldn't get through a single game with a friend without both of us desyncing and closing and reopening the game repeatedly. Literally did not finish a game.
If ever this is completely fixed, I'd be willing to repurchase and change to a positive review.
Root: The Digital Board Game brings the tabletop experience to digital platforms, offering players the chance to engage in a battle for dominance in the woodland. The digital adaptation promises to capture the spirit of the original while streamlining gameplay for online and solo play. Does it succeed? Let’s dive into the details.
Root is built around its unique asymmetric factions, each with distinct playstyles and win conditions. Whether you’re controlling the expansionist Marquise de Cat, the guerrilla-like Woodland Alliance, the hierarchical Eyrie Dynasties, or the opportunistic Vagabond, every game feels like a fresh challenge.
Key mechanics such as crafting, area control, and faction-specific strategies are faithfully implemented. The game’s turn-based format translates seamlessly to the digital platform, with a clear and intuitive interface that minimizes downtime and confusion.
Visually, the digital version of Root stays true to the charming aesthetic of the board game. The woodland map is vibrant and alive, with subtle animations bringing the forest to life. The interface is clean and user-friendly, though the sheer amount of information on screen can be overwhelming for newcomers. Tooltips and clear visual cues help mitigate this issue, ensuring that players can quickly understand the game.
The digital port of Root is a fantastic adaptation, it captures the depth and charm of the original board game. While the learning curve and faction asymmetry may initially overwhelm some players, those who invest the time will find a richly rewarding experience. Whether you’re a seasoned Root player or a curious newcomer, this adaptation of Root is well worth exploring.
I think this game is a fantastic game adopted from a fantastic boardgame and dare I say that it is even more interesting than the actual baordgame. The animations are so cute and funny, the sound effects amazing and the tutorials very clear. The only problem is the level of AI that even at its hardest is not very good.
Great digital adaptation for a great board game. Good for playing with friends, as well as playing solo. For those who love the physical game, this version is very helpful in becoming proficient in the game mechanics and faction strategies, so you can be better prepared for playing the physical game.
The tutorials and solo mode are great for getting to understand how the game is played from all four of the factions.
Root is a fantastic board game, but I don't think this is the best way to play it. I much prefer the wonderful Tabletop Simulator mod for it. which is kept up to date with all the expansions and even fan-made factions, and preserves more of the visual charm of the physical version. Most of the community around this version seems to play it asynchronously on mobile. If that's what you want, then the obvious choice is to buy it on mobile rather than on Steam.
If you are a fan of the board game Root or want to learn and / or get better this is a great way to go. You can make sure you are playing the rules properly. Technically, there are one or two really small ways this is different from the table top version. With the Mauraders expansion coming soon I would personally recommend it as a great way to try out all the factions and see which ones you like ... and how to face against others.
I will add that certain AI like the Cats seem to do pretty well while the Bird AI isn't quite at the same level. If you've been invited to play the game in person I'd recommend trying the app and come prepared. Even once you do know how to play this can improve your play and understanding.
As deep and complex as it is fun and cute. An all-time great tabletop game!
Online issues aside, I cannot recommend both the physical and the digital versions of Root enough. It's a game that presents a hefty learning curve, but getting over that curve rewards you with a complex game of strategy that weaves almost epic stories to share at the table.
Another great digital implementation of the board game. One of the best asymmetric games on the market that keeps getting better with each expansion. If I had one quibble is that I feel like the digital expansions are a tad pricey for my tastes, so I may take a while to get the rest. Kyle Ferrin's artwork is fantastic and comes to life in this game.
It is a very, very complex boardgame, but an exciting one, with lots of variability. Players who like lots of interaction and battles will love this. The digital implementation is particularly well done and assists in learning this game tremendously. I like the UI and the graphics in general; they maintain the cuteness of the boardgame. One of the few negatives that I have is that the AIs are so quick that you hardly have time to think of what exactly they did. I had to revert to the game log a couple of times to understand certain moves.
The AI in single player is horrible, the only thing the cat faction was doing was moving aimlessly 3 times a turn
Fun board game, played with some friends who had all the dlc's and the characters provide really fun strategies and gameplay styles. Would recommend for board game fans. 8/10
Root is an asymmetrical beast, unwieldy and brutal, that masters a balance of forward thinking and impromptu decision-making. Guided along by a digital adaptation that keeps tabs on the gameplay logistics, this behemoth pits four forest factions whose interests often rely on crippling the other teams.
Each faction plays differently. The Marquis de Cat struggles to maintain control of the board while keeping her supply chain guarded. The Eyrie Dynasty balances precariously an ever-growing number of rules, lest they topple and enter turmoil. The Woodland Alliance scrambles to transition from slumbering giant to insurgent force. And in the chaos, the Vagabond scrounges for resources and does the odd job or two. The goals of these factions are not mutually exclusive, but the ensuing friction is infectious, and conflict is inevitable.
Most importantly, however, is that Root requires commitment - not just the hours to sit down for a game or two, but the commitment to simply learn the game. And that is why it is more apt to call Root a beast than a game. Behind the drawings of the cutest woodland animals you'll ever see is a laundry list of maneuvers and concepts you ought to pay attention to. Because truthfully the way to succeed in Root is not just by thinking about your modus operandi, but by knowing each of your opponents inside and out. The tutorials do not teach you how to juggle four factions in your head, but it must be learned.
Notwithstanding the game handling the details and intricate rules, Root is a lot to unpack. But if the time is right, it is an incredibly rewarding experience that simply does not get old (and if it does get old, simply choose a different faction next time).
Worth every penny. All I ask is add support for more than 4 players and this will be perfection! Seriously it will be so much better with more than 4 players. If you are reading this Devs it is all I ask is more than 4 players.
It's a great interpretation of the board game into a digital space. I do wish it would come with the mobile version if you also owned it on PC, but that's my only gripe.
The fact that you can't accidentally break the rules of this game made my friends and I better at not accidentally cheating irl
10 out of 10
Game is broken, desync and you lose your entire game. Devs wont fix the problem. Don't give them your money.
Great game. Helps me learn the rules for the actual board game.
hell yeah root kicks ass. Kinda wish that this digital implementation had just a touch more in the way of explanatory tooltips for certain rules elements, as the learning curve can be steep for certain factions. Definitely play the tutorials!
I love Root. This game definitely helps with better understanding of the rules for when we gather to play Root at the table.
Some visual and audio bugs (only minor). Apart from that (and missing extensions, devs, pls add) very perfect game with insanely beautiful animations/ character designs/board designs and super stable online play. And based on one of the best board games, ever made. Makes me questions my ratio, as I purchased Mario Party for 50 bucks... no where near to this. Price seems to low for product (at least in South Africa).
Great tabletop simulator; amazing art, style, and gameplay. Can't recommend this game enough for strategists and gamers alike!
worth it if it is on sale.
the game is a board game that feels like risk but every player is playing by a completely different set of rules.
Great game, I dont have friends who like board games this much so its good. i assume no other kind of person buys boardgames on steam
gud game. i liked its gudness and how sweet it wuz. i disliked that i loose sumtimes, but wining wuz sweet. evrybody shud play. come at me!
Game is great if it didn't crash for us every other turn in online multiplayer. Literally have to quit and restart in order to continue playing, which is super annoying
Bought this to learn how to play before playing the physical version. It’s a pretty good game.
Unfortunate the controller controls are really broken, to the point it’s hard to play. The right joystick to view around doesn’t work half the time for some reason, and many of the menus where you should be able to use B to go back don’t work.
I played Root once with the physical game and really liked it, but my group wanted to try other new games rather than stick with one we've already played before. The digital version scratched my itch to play and I've put in more hours than expected. The main downsides are buggy achievements and controller inputs (it rarely recognizes "B").
