How co-op works
Up to four gardeners restore one procedural desert world online, expanding an oasis through cultivation, shared resources, structures, and exploration. The group feeds every player, raises many plant species, unlocks tools and abilities, and fights the wraiths draining life from the land.
About this game
Wildmender drops you into a vast desert with nothing but a tiny spring and a vision of turning sand into a thriving oasis. This is a true co-op survival and gardening game, where teams work together to cultivate plants, manage water, and slowly push back the lifeless expanse while uncovering the mysteries behind a corrupted world.

The loop revolves around planting, irrigation, resource gathering, and exploration. You will design irrigation networks, experiment with different crops, and defend your gardens from wraith corruption that threatens to undo your progress. The satisfaction comes from watching barren dunes transform into lush greenery through careful teamwork and planning.
Wildmender supports online co-op, making it ideal for groups that enjoy communication-heavy collaboration. Every decision about water routing, crop placement, and expansion requires input from the whole team, turning each session into a shared project that evolves over time.

Is there combat or is this purely a gardening game?
