Ale & Tale Tavern

Really fun game overall. Pretty relaxing concept. I would like to make a suggestion for a future update though. Since there are owls to serve customers and owls that clean up, I was getting a bit overwhelmed with having to cook everything as well as gather ingredients, what I'm trying to say is that I think there should be a chef owl and little accessories for the owls. But overall that's the only thing I would change about it! Hope this helps!

I really love this game! The dialogue is funny and the missions are full of great story line. I would love to see more updates! Obviously game development/making is pretty hard, but I would love to see some of these things: - Being able to visit the king/kingdom - Stacking chests - More guests rooms - More decor/paintings/furniture - Even having precise placement for furniture would be cool Keep up the great work!

Буквально самая добрая игра, в которую я играла. Пока все современные игры пытаются вызвать у тебя стресс, тревогу и желание разбить клавиатуру, тут ты просто живёшь свою лучшую жизнь в таверне. Готовишь еду, бегаешь с друзьями, ловишь вайб и чувствуешь себя так, будто тебя обняли пледом. 🍜🍳 Не зря собрала все достижения. Это уже не игра, это терапия. 10/10 кружек пива и душевного спокойствия 🍻🌝

Ale & Tale Tavern is a complete joke in the early game. Running the tavern barely makes any money, and most of my income comes from selling chickens, pigs, and doing stupid quests. Managing the tavern is so tedious and unrewarding that it feels like a garbage game inside another garbage game. Side quests constantly send you across the map to kill random monsters, and the enemy spawn rate is so ridiculously low that it honestly feels like the game intentionally lowers it the moment you accept the quest just to waste your time. What is the owl even supposed to do? It doesn't help with anything. People actually enjoy this game? At this point, I seriously have to wonder. Then there's the cave demon quest. The boss can practically one-shot you with a single spell, and suddenly the game expects you to grind for weapon upgrades and craft a bunch of alchemy potions just to stand a chance. Why can't players buy a sword from the beginning? Why lock such a basic weapon behind level 14? Having to use the same axe to fight every animal and monster for hours is unbelievably frustrating. I've probably opened my tavern fewer than five times. The tavern feels like nothing more than an upgrade requirement. So what exactly am I playing here? A tavern management game or a dungeon crawler? If I wanted to spend my time exploring dungeons and fighting monsters, I'd just go play Skyrim. The entire experience feels like digital torture. The art style is the only thing that initially attracted me to the game, which makes the disappointment even worse. And don't even get me started on the gun. A bullet does around 20 damage, which is barely different from swinging a sword. Who thought this was good game design? 2.95$USD isn't going to bankrupt me, so consider it a donation. At least now I know not to expect anything more from this game.

WARNING: Severe optimization issues can kill older hardware. My graphics card ran perfectly fine for 4 years across dozens of demanding games, but Ale & Tale completely destroyed it. The game has known optimization bugs that lock the GPU at 100% maximum capacity and cause sudden, massive transient power spikes. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2683150/discussions/search/?q=GPU&gidforum=4336483930453930308 If your hardware is a few years old, be extremely careful. The game pushed a massive electrical surge that physically burned out my card's power delivery system. If you decide to play this, manually cap your frame rate and lower your power limits in your GPU control panel before launching, or it might kill your hardware too. Developers desperately need to fix how this game utilizes system resources.

The art direction is pretty decent with the exception of human models. The tech behind it seems dated, but most of the models and textures are pretty well done. However, everything else about the game is just sloppy and lazily made. Just because it's a working sim, doesn't mean you can get away with putting in zero effort. I don't want to imagine what the added "dungeon crawling" is like as the game doesn't seem capable of much more that "click to attack" In a crowded market full of better games, there are just better ways to spend your time.
