The whole game is physics based, so the best way to discover new things is to simply do them, and frankly, that’s half the fun. Smacking flint against stone creates sparks, which are perfect for making fire. Grass wrapped around a stick makes a torch. A chunk of flint on its own makes a good rudimentary chisel. Finding flint lets you change things up when placed on the end of a stick, creating a primitive pickaxe. Finding a rock and a stick and slapping them together is a mainstay staple of any RPG, so naturally it serves nicely as your first crafted item. With your character created, it’s time to set out to craft some fun. This initial look isn’t all you can sport, but we’ll get into optional cosmetics in a bit. There are 18 different categories of customization, including your hair style, beards, eyewear, jackets, shirts, skirts, mustache, and much more. With the game downloaded (it’s just a 4 GB size commitment), you’ll create your first character. The fact that I’m taking the time to write about it, tells you that it’s certainly mine.
Since you can try it yourself, I’ll leave it to you to figure out if it’s your kind of game. Instead, I’ll try to answer the questions about activities, comfort, and cooperative play.
The 25 people who still own a Windows Mixed Reality headset can even play it - it supports any PCVR HMD.
It’s available for free at the developer’s page right here, or you can pay the Oculus team 10 bucks for a native version, which includes 1000 Talems (more on that in a sec) and the ability to run your own server. Let’s dive in a little deeper.įirst and foremost, you should know that I’m not going to review A Township Tale. Could this be the VR busywork type of game that I love so very, very much? Well…yeah, actually.
When developer Alta announced that their game A Township Tale would essentially be an open world multiplayer VR RPG full of blacksmithing, crafting, mining, as well as cooperative adventures, I was very interested. I’m more at home crafting armor than wearing it in RPGs.

Otherwise, I expect this one to blow up on some social justice forum trying to oust paedophiles within a decade or so.
Yeah, I'd avoid this one unless you happen to have a community or group of friends of your own with VR and a passion for doing manual labour. I've also noticed a fair share of, what I can only describe as, groomers floating around, which makes this EVEN scarier. Literally milking cash from children & their parents on a platform mostly dedicated to children, excluding the occasional 'whale' that floats by. Not a very good position to be in as a game dev, and without any additional age checks, and a boatload of ONLY paid for cosmetics, making it even more dangerous. It's a looney bin with kids sprinkled in between. It's a bit of a shame this means 70% of the enjoyment falls literally on if the community is thriving or not. It's a shame the game is 'very unique' on the VR platform, as it's a community driven dungeon crawler/Hack&Slash game. Community is absolutely terrible, so if you like playing alone, go right ahead.
