GIZORAMA - You haven’t bathed in weeks. Trapped deep in the belly of an old ship, your stomach, much like the ocean around you, churns and rumbles. As you look upon the other settlers crammed into the hold with you, you begin to wonder, was it all worth it? You close your eyes; in your mind you can see it, the reason for this long journey. Perfectly square, beautifully toasted, and sitting atop, like some majestic king, a perfect pad of butter. And in the end you know the journey will be worth it, for upon the shores of the new land you will find your greatest love, buttered toast.
Developed by Games Foundry, Folk Tale is a fantasy city builder game in which player assumes the leadership role for a group of displaced settlers seeking freedom and an unlimited supply of toast.
Games Foundry announced the milestone release of Folk Tale Alpha 20, introducing a new visual scripting editor aimed at democratizing modding. To celebrate the release, Folk Tale is available with 40% off in the Steam Midweek Madness sale
On the lookout for a special blend of RTS and RPG elements, Gamers Association editor Cameron Wasmund came across Folk Tale as a part of Steam's Early Access program. Frankly, he can't get enough.
Key to Folk Tale's gameplay is the need to explore your surroundings. Forming small expeditionary squads can yield interesting results. It is advised to send only well-trained militia into the wild though, as Lord BlackDark has sent his minions to throw a spanner in the works. Venturing into the wild reveals new areas to explore. In the current build of the game, your citizens set out to rescue their fellow peasants from a pack of goblins. Things aren't quite so simple though; In order to rescue their friends they must activate a robot to break through the goblin defenses. In another twist, the robot requires a gem that a bunch of kung-fu werewolves are currently in possession of. What's even worse is the local farmer has been kidnapped. No farmer, no wheat. No wheat, no toast!
