Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown

Sort of nice looking novelty, but you have to endure supersimplistic mechanics apparently made for special children I'm not allowed to make jokes about... and an awful, unresponsive camera if you're not playing in VR.

no text translation, english only - no key binding, so only playable with QWETRY keyboards - the camera is a nighmare - the card selection, and anything requiring to target a grid square with the mouse, is very patience trying - this overpriced game was not made for a computer or even for a console, it's for VR alone, - and even in VR, I wouldn't bet it's very comfortable to play

I’m liking it a lot so far. I couldn’t get enough Demeo and this fills the void now that I beat that several times. I wish there was one of these games with a level/campaign editor so I could play more. The presentation in this is great with a good mix of music and environment sounds and I really like the voice acting. It’s weird to say for vr but I think the audio is what immersed me fastest. This doesn’t have multiplayer like demeo and its UI isn’t as good. Specifically: you can’t tilt the board so you can’t lean back and play, you have to put characters on a pedestal in front of table to see most stats, and action cards are in the front of the play space. Basically everything is designed to feel rooted in physical space for immersion instead of comfort and convenience. They’re not deal breakers and it does create kind of a cool living diorama feeling, but if this was a longer game or multiplayer I would get more annoyed with the ui overtime. They should create more of these types of vr games

Me encantó, es hermoso, me gusta mucho la mecánica de juego y la historia. Tiene valor de rejugabilidad. Todo esto aplica si eres fan de los juegos estilo D&D si no te gustan los juegos de tablero, es probable que no te sientas atraído. Desearía que sacaran DLC porque la historia principal dura unas escasas 3 horas.

~ this game is fun and has a certain appeal for me. I hope you like it too, it has not faults or bugs, its really polished, it's like a simple, 3-D animated board game.

This is the worst game I played in a long time. There is so many bugs in this game, that you have reload the game multi times in order to progress. Do not play this game, its other rubbish. There is far better game here on this, then this. Pros: - Short campaign Cons: - Annoying key controls - Camera angle broken - Boring gameplay - Game breaking bugs - Terrible optimized

It's a nice little tabletop experience that will occupy an evening or two. The mechanics are pretty simple and the story is functional enough to tie together the series of combat encounters that make up the game. There's also competent voiced narration throughout the game. There isn't much depth to it, but there's enough there to fill a 5-hour playthrough. Player choices would also seem to alter the playthrough enough that replaying the game might be worthwhile. I feel like I got my money's worth after getting the game on sale. I might feel differently if I had payed full price.

Infelizmente tenho que marcar esse jogo como "não recomendado", por dois motivos: 1 - A fase final (eu "abandonei" a Nuna no começo do jogo) é incrivelmente mal balanceada. Depois de dezenas de tentativas frustradas, tentando estratégias diferentes, só posso concluir que essa fase final foi mal balanceada, deixando ela extremamente injusta e dependente de sorte mais do que qualquer outra coisa. 2 - Eu joguei ele inteiro em VR (Meta Quest 3S + SteamVR), onde ele funciona bem. Mas quando fui testar a jogabilidade direto no PC, percebi que ela é horrível.

I enjoyed my time in this game. The momentum and pace is beautifully captured by the rolling table scene changes, and the narrator's excellent story telling. Luck plays a big part. Death count is likely to be low enough to avoid undue frustration. If you don't clear a scene, think again and take a different path on a redo. Cards control actions, and characters level up at milestones. My only criticism is mistakes being rewarded with a single section of narration, repeated over and over. Otherwise, solid adventuring, good story, very well told. On sale at time of writing this review, and value to be had at twice the price.
