Feb 19, 2024Bandle Tale captures the essence of the Yordles’ fantastical home and delivers a delightful and bittersweet experience. As Riot Forge’s final contribution before its closure, Bandle Tale stands as a testament to the studio’s collaborative genius, the creativity and clever game design of Lazy Bear Games, and leaves players with a fond farewell to spinoffs set in the Runeterra universe, at least for the foreseeable future.

Feb 19, 2024Bandle Tale is the full package — a fully realised world with a brain-tickling gameplay loop and fantastic visual design. It's one of the best 'cosy' games out there.

Feb 20, 2024Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is a great-looking game, but the loop of crafting and unlocking skills is where it's at its finest.

Feb 19, 2024Bandle Tale offers a refreshing, exploration-focused departure from the traditional League of Legends gameplay, emphasizing crafting, community building, and personalization with your own Yordle hero. Its unique approach, combining a serene gameplay experience with strategic elements like base placement and emotional well-being progression, makes it stand out. Despite some repetitiveness in quests, the game's charm, engaging narrative, and vibrant world-building ensure a captivating experience.

Mar 13, 2024Colorful, endearing, and detail-rich, Bandle Tale offers a notable artistic aspect. Its humor-infused world and unique mechanics blend farming simulation with RPG elements seamlessly, providing a delightful experience for players regardless of their familiarity with League of Legends lore. However, it could benefit from clearer explanations of skill relationships and more gameplay variety. In summary, Bandle Tale stands out for its charming visuals, humorous narrative, and relaxed gameplay, making it a highly recommended experience.

Feb 19, 2024Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is a much more ambitious game than most crafting RPGs. It’s accessible to most patient gamers, too, whether they’ve played League or not. The crafting elements are good, if occasionally opaque. Unfortunately, the game’s unvaried tone and extended length padded out by some dull quests takes away some of the fun.

Feb 19, 2024At first, my time with Bandle Tale felt like a slow drudge, especially as I got blockaded by skill requirements and hit many “I can’t do anything with this yet” spots. Once I could zoom through the Bandle City center and knew how to best unlock skills, I enjoyed my time a bit more but I’m not entirely sure if that’s just because I knew I was reaching the end, or if progression was actually enjoyable. Bandle Tale: A League of Legends gameplay and story can feel pretty mediocre, reminding me of childhood favorites but never as entertaining.
