Folk Tale's blend of real-time strategy and RPG elements offers a unique take on city-building and hero management. You'll command a faction of humans, elves, or dwarves, constructing settlements, researching technologies, and sending heroes on quests. The game's appeal lies in its detailed resource management, the emergent storytelling arising from hero interactions, and the satisfying feeling of building a thriving kingdom from the ground up.

About Folk Tale

View Game Details
Folk Tale is a single-player fantasy village builder RPG game in which you lead a ragtag band of peasants in growing a small settlement into a thriving market town, while dastardly minions plot your downfall. Sound the rallying call and head out into the wilds with parties of heroes and fight back the tide of evil in a game of endless possibilities. Rule with tyranny and oppression, or liberalism and justice. Play as a merciless expansionist hell-bent on destruction, or as a gold-hoarding mercantilist who'll sell their own grandmother. With random events and dynamic story, in Folk Tale you never know how the story will unfold. Folk Tale is inspired by Warcraft 3, The Settlers, Banished, The Guild 2, Majesty 2 and Black and White 2.
