Bandle Tale might NOT be what you expect… Honest thoughts on this cozy crafting RPG
You play as a young Yordle crafter who sets out to discover what happened to Bandle City’s portal network. You gather with other Yordles, throw fun parties, go on missions with various League of Legends champions such as Teemo, Tristana, and Veigar, and craft various items to solve puzzles and fulfill requests from various characters.
It’s all done in a cute little pixel art style that will be familiar to players of retro games like Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda. The writing is fun and self-aware, the storyline is cute, and the crafting mechanics keep things interesting. Bandle Tale’s laid-back, almost cozy game-like experience will likely keep you entertained for hours.
