Tales of Yore

Until the developer decides he wants to revisit his moderator team on this game I can’t recommend it anymore. As a game that advertises itself as “family friendly” and “safe,” there shouldn’t be a moderator with access to users private information who also goes through the discord to find anyone who *might* be women to send sexually explicit pictures to. Really sad. It was one of my favorite games.

Really nice community. Definitely worth to play!

I label this game as a new startup akin to RuneScape. There is so much depth, details, and death ahead to all adventurers. The community is amazing and will answer the simplest questions to helping/guiding/partying up to help a fellow adventurer. Hop on now or feel the FOMO!!!!

Been playing games since the intellivision- while this looks like an intellivision the game plays rather dull. Seems like it might be fun if not for the unclear directions, and unrewarding grinding. I’m coming from 150 hrs in hero of Aethric expecting a similar fun grinding experience though progression here is at a EverQuest 1 speed while lacking a steady sense of achievement or variety. To its merit it has a great community and semi-decent wiki (which you’ll be constantly looking as the game tutorial is very unclear). Made a it few (5 hours in until the lack of direction or hint at direction and sluggish, repetitive , dull and Ultimately unrewarding grinding literally had me struggling to stay awake. I’d get timed quests to places I’d never heard of or ones to kill monsters that can one shot me, even completed a beginner quest to earn a sword which upon calculating would take five or more hours of mindless grinding just to even meet the minimum requirements to be able to equip it. Combine all of this with an extremely punishing death penalty and sudden death, even for new players and you just get something that isn’t fun- I entered a cave on the first map out of town and my level 6 character was one shot, lost all my items and gold …and will to play. the game is made and tailored to those already with tons of hours into it or those who enjoy being punished for exploration. It has good bones just horrible incentive and execution…no wonder everyone online was either level 5 or endgame. Well the community seems nice at least.

…for a game like this. Simple mmorpg in portrait mode that isnt intimidating to jump into and does ftp right.

the game is a lot of fun even though the interface takes a bit of work to get used to. but enemies are extremely unbalanced at higher levels and the game punishes you very heavily for dying. it's exceptionally bad if you use more than one weapon as anything unequipped you lose when you die. expect to spend dozens of hours grinding crafting skills up so you can make anything beyond the most basic stuff. it probably deserves more than 2 stars but the literal wall you hit in progression and difficulty is frustrating and seems pretty unnecessary.

Love the game, I like legends of yore and I like this one too

For reference, I’ve played the game about 3 hours or so. Maybe a smidge more, it’s hard to say. It is very much an exploration game, kind of reaching out into the world discovering where the tough zones are and what you are building up for, to then go further and complete more quests. Loving the pacing, loving the combat grinding and the rewarding feel of the higher level weapons. This reminds me of when I first picked up RuneScape when I was 11, just exploring and playing. I can’t wait to get into the higher level gameplay.

I played the other game years ago. Then I got sad when it was removed from the app store. But here it is again, better than ever!

Even in it’s WIP form, Tales of Yore it a hit. It’s got everything you want from an old school top down rpg. Balance, wide variety of enemies, quests, fighting styles, places to explore… a solid all around game. ALREADY. Can’t wait to see where the developers take this!
