Folk Tale

[TheCommandTent]

This was just released as an early access on STEAM.  Has anyone played it?  I don't want to pay the price for an unfinished game if it isn't really playable yet.  I want someone else to do the dirty work for me.  :)


For those who aren't familiar with the game.

Folk Tale is a sandbox fantasy city builder strategy game in which you lead a ragtag band of peasants in growing a small settlement into a thriving market town, while the dastardly Slavemaster Urzal and his minions plot your downfall. Sound the rallying call and head out into the wilds with parties of heroes and fight back the tide of evil in a game of endless possibilities.

Rule with tyranny and oppression, or liberalism and justice. Play as a merciless expansionist hell-bent on destruction, or as a gold-hoarding mercantilist who'll sell their own grandmother. With random events and dynamic story, in Folk Tale you never know how the story will unfold.

Folk Tale for PC, Mac and Linux is developed by indie collaboration studio Games Foundry. Our small team spans 15 time zones and is yet to meet face to face, but talk every day to bring you a refreshing and exciting break from conventional gaming.

Another good-looking game. Checked it out on Steam and added it to my wishlist. Impressions Please.

It could well be the wrong impression I'm getting, but the simplistic WoW-like graphics and sparse interface elements make it look rather shallow. 

Nobody tried it yet?

If you're into the peasant-style sandbox city-builder type games, heard of Banished? It's currently still in development but is looking good:

That looks interesting as well, definitely something to keep and eye on.
