- Foretales is a narrative-driven deck-building adventure
- From the creators of the Turnip Boy series, it challenges you to save the world
- Or bring about its destruction, depending on your decisions
"Will you save the world or destroy it?" is a familiar dilemma in many mobile and other releases. Foretales continues this tradition, presenting numerous pivotal choices in this story-rich deck-builder where avoiding global catastrophe rests squarely on your shoulders—available on iOS, with Android coming soon.
In Foretales, you assume the role of Volepain, a humble thief haunted by apocalyptic visions. While fundamentally a deck-building game, every card played and every decision—whether through diplomacy, stealth, or classic combat—shifts the world's balance toward salvation or ruin.
The game maintains a lighthearted atmosphere through its cast of anthropomorphic animal companions reminiscent of Disney's Robin Hood. Yet beneath this charming surface lies a deeply layered narrative filled with meaningful choices that will shape your journey, even when you wish you didn't have to make them.
The Raven's Warning
Given the developers' background with Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, their shift toward more serious themes is noteworthy. That said, "serious" is relative—Foretales remains firmly in the realm of fantasy rather than grimdark realism.
Skeptical players need only appreciate the stunning artwork, engaging animations, and intuitive interface to understand Foretales' appeal. The musical score by Christophe Heral (Rayman Legends composer) provides the perfect finishing touch.
