Bandle Tale review: Losing magic to unnecessary complexity

Players often look for games that make them forget about time, and Bandle Tale does just that—but not in a good way. I played the game for a little over 30 hours, but the flat storytelling and repetitive tasks had me stuck in an infinite gameplay loop that made me increasingly frustrated I didn’t have a portal to escape Bandle City.

But the storytelling falls flat. The hours of crafting and organizing parties erode the sense of urgency and high stakes the main quest should have.
