Epic Tavern is a fantasy-management-RPG where you rule the land from your Tavern. Recruit heroes, send them on quests, and reap the rewards! Build a legendary Tavern to attract Heroes from every corner of a dangerous and magical world. By bringing together courageous parties and sending them off on dangerous (and oftentimes crazy) adventures, every decision you make will alter the destiny of your Epic Tavern!



Player Choice: In Epic Tavern, every quest choice made and every adventurer befriended could unlock new quests, new alliances, or access to characters, items, and tavern building opportunities. The experience grows as you play - your choices will directly steer the fate of your intrepid adventurers!



The Tavernmaster: You and your tavern are at the center of a world full of danger, intrigue and unlimited adventure. Your every choice determines the future of your establishment, bringing heroes and stories together in fellowships that will become the stuff of legend. This is where friendships are made, and where great adventures are started. In Epic Tavern, you build the destiny of your world, one drink at a time.



The Adventurers: A multitude of characters drawn from 20+ classes and walks of life will visit your tavern. Mages, warriors, assassins, and more will be at your disposal! Befriend them over drinks and learn their secrets. Between quests, take their experience, level them up, and influence the nature of their destiny.



The World: You will send your new friends on quests to explore the land of Beor. These quests unfold into an epic storyline unique to your playthrough. Epic Tavern pushes the limits of a player-centric narrative and creates a brand new model of the classic RPG experience. The impact of your choices will inexorably change your adventurers and the World itself!



Attract Adventurers: Build a legendary Tavern that draws the greatest heroes in the world. Befriend your patrons by loosening them up with frothy pints and hire the Adventurers whose traits you desire.



Unlock Quests: Perk up your ears and listen for whispers and rumors to find the opportunities you'd like your Adventurers to pursue.



Assemble your Party: Choose your heroes based on their skills and strengths. Equip them with special weapons and relics, and then send them off to claim victory in their quests.



Track their Progress: Follow your party on the map and see in detail how the quest is unfolding. Each encounter could yield treasure and XP, or tragedy and defeat.



Sort Out the Results: Use what is earned to boost your Tavern's renown, level-up your victorious Heroes, and prepare for ever more treacherous quests.



Not All Challenges are Overcome: Expect to meet failures on your path to glory. Whether or not a quest ends in victory, expect your adventurers to change! Every triumph and every sorrow weave the fabric of your world's unique destiny.

The Path of Transformation: Quests will lead to important changes in your characters. What if your decision to send a fatigued and injured character on a quest leads to critical failure that results in a Total Party Kill? It’s not just a matter of who you send, but also of what happens to them on their travels.



Grand adventure awaits in the world of Epic Tavern!

Early Access review

sadly boring

I was expecting something more indepth but instead this game is pure boredom. Sure some of the quests have an interesting story and most of the times funny but other than that there is only boredom. You send a party and click the conversation options, thats it. The Tavern management consists out of clicking on people with speech bubbles over their heads to hopefully make them happy and buying some new items to put on the table. Thats it! BOOOOOORING! Not worth the money.

Patch frequency for a stable game

This game was released in 2017 as Early Development - 6 years later it still is, like some AAA game. First Patch 22.12.2018 (465 days), 14.02.2019 (54 days), 20.06.2019 (126 days), 23.05.2022 (1068 days). Looking at these rather long gaps for first and last this game patch does not give the impression of a game in active development on GOG. Last there is no recovery in case the game fails. For me a party camped in the wild, but the break camp button never camp up, rendering the save and my tavern dead. There do not seem to be previous save files just in case.

I know it's early release but...

The game is in that stage for over a year so I expected some level of playability, especially considering that after playing tutorial it seems like it's nearly-finished. However, barrinng some bugs I've encountered which I won't even mention because they're something I've expected on a early release, there are some things whch are so blatantly obvious and game breaking that I uninstalled after 2 hours of playing and frankly, regretting that I didn't get it on Steam because I'd get a refund, which is almost impossble to do on GOG. Namely 'tavern' quests are completely random or so it seems, so I got 2 levels of wine cellar and haven't yet got the Infirmary, which seems like a basic and neccesary upgrade. So I've got my adventurers getting debuffs (sepsis and infection) and literally slowly dying from the first quest, without any ability to do anything about it. Also even basic equipment is so rare in the game, and your adventurers (mostly) start bare handed. And I'm sure that there already are enough items among game assets (as can be seen in the tutorial mission), they're just not offered to you in any way except odd amulet or boot on every 3rd quest. Now it game was updated on a more regular basis that wouldn't be a problem, but from what I saw on forums updates come about every 6 months, just not worth the trouble nor money I've spent on it.

A game full of potential and nasty bugs.

This game has SO much potential, but as of right now (Aug 30, 2018) there are MANY game-breaking bugs. However, assuming these are removed over time the game has many cool features: - Quests with a lot of interesting dialogue and lots of references for those who have played popular RPGs. (Also other pop-culture) - Before every new quest you have to consider an optimal party for the quest. The main-quest may require fighting for instance, but maybe the destination is far away. In that case you also need someone to negotiate with people you meet, someone to solve riddles and someone to disarm traps. - SO many funny encounters and odd ways of solving quests. You need to consider who to hire. The best composition is basically a balanced mix as the encounters are very different from one another. - Managing your tavern which will eventually have an infirmary, a temple, a wine cellar etc. You have to make sure everything is in stock and don't spent so much money on adventuring that your business takes a turn for the worse. Now for the bugs: - The prologue bugs out / freezes 50% of the time. - Dialogue-options disappear forcing you to restart the game. - Main-quests tend to fail often if you don't have 95% success (which is max). I have failed SO many times with 92% or 94% chance of success. - You sometimes get rewards for failed quests. And some completed quests offer no rewards even if this is implied through the text. - And a BIG one: If you level up a character and don't spent his/her new ability points before selecting another character the points just disappear! If you love min-maxing like me that means instant-restart. My overall recommendation: Do not buy as of now, unless you find the game REALLY interesting. Perhaps in about half a year (or maybe an entire year) I am sure most of the big issues have been fixed. When this is the case it will be an awesome game for some "causal questing". Do not expect HOMM - expect quality entertainment in small dosages. 4/5

Need translation !

Translate, translate, translate and ... Translate ! :-D In french, in spanish, in german, ... So many things to read, with a specific fantastic and heroic vocabulary makes the game even more boring for a non-english person. Seeking words in workreference.com is not a good solution. So many things to read... And nothing really fun to do... Why not a mini game, as "North vs South" game made? Interface is a mess and you don't really makes the difference between buttons on which you have to click (to make a choice) and boxes that just contains an information. Sometimes, text appears progressively, while your attention is hijacked by another animation at the other side of the screen ! Not really a fun game. The idea was good, but the realisation is so confusing...
