The systems and inner workings of Foretales create a captivating, addictive experience, but the repetitive nature of character and location cards stymies an otherwise magnificent experience.

8/10
Foretales is a wonderful example of how creative the card-based genre can be. Marrying a gripping narrative with gameplay that really makes you feel in charge of your own destiny, this is an engaging and fulfilling experience that we whole-heartedly recommend.

7/10
Rather austere in its presentation, and repetitive in its gameplay, Foretales unpacks an intriguing story via a roguelite narration, which makes you throw part by game, but in moderation. You will at least want to achieve a beautiful ending!

Pretty and Well Written Adventure Game

Visually very nice game with an interesting choose your own adventure/resource management gameplay. A simple and easy to play story game that uses it's card game base as a way to tell a choices matter story. Where managing short term resources to get through missions and complete optional objectives for permanent rewards. The simplicity did get a bit boring after a while and it never develops mechanically. But that may be my expectations being wrong making assumptions based on other card/deck games. This one is much more focused on resources and light puzzles instead of mechanics and deck building.

Awful Feeling And NEVER Replay

I hate the feeling which someone controled you, the game itself is 5/5 for gameplay, idea, story, battle experience, music, ONLY 2 AWFUL POINT, 1. Does NOT SUPPORT the drawing board; 2. The Line Deignation; As a designer, the level designs are drive people MAD to die, especially the first play, in instruction, no rule explaination, no the Lyre's introduction for which is true, no one tell you you can't make the route you want, YOU'VE BEEN FORCED TO CHOOSE THE PATH AND CAN*NOT* BE UNDONE, YOU CAN"T PLAY ALL STAGES AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Garbage. Utterly waste of this good idea. No worthy.
