Feb 5, 2023Lovers of card games with narrative, in which you can make your decisions and in which there is no single way to deal with things, you must play Foretales.

Oct 5, 2022Foretales has a lot of moving parts to this card-based game. The narrative-driven mechanic allows the players freedom to select which path to choose and how to play their hand is a fascinating, albeit risky, take on the genre. However, it works. You’ll enjoy your time with the game if you approach Foretales as a strategy game rather than a deck-builder.

Sep 16, 2022Overall Foretales approaches the card game genre with a unique narrative approach. I found the freedom in roleplaying using the card system very satisfying. I've never seen diplomacy deployed as a major card game mechanic, but it made me approach the game in radically different ways. Where stealing sometimes was the right answer in order to bribe guards and avoid a confrontation. While the switch version has a few gripes when it comes to the visual fidelity and the interface, I was very pleasantly surprised by the end product. If you like card games and want to play a narrative driven game with a refreshing approach, Foretales may just be exactly what you are looking for.

Oct 10, 2022Foretales is a game that perfectly succeeds in creating a story of infinite possibilities. A cross between a fantasy board game and a good book set in the Middle Ages.

Sep 15, 2022At the end of the day, Foretales offers a broad and delightful journey all within a digital tabletop setting. Its card art and party are diverse. Clever and varied card mechanics, along with party members’ abilities, make for a fun suite of solution tools to use against some tough and fantastical narrative-based obstacles. However, with a lack of checkpoints, players may at times feel like they have bitten off more than they can chew in a run. Still, this remains a funky, unique little indie worth checking out for ambition and coziness alone. Carry on.
