I think many more people will love Foretales if the give it a chance. It's an interesting take on a formula you'd think would be played out by now, done in a way that shows there's life in the card-based genre yet.

Foretales is a bold product. However, sometimes boldness and passion are not enough to make a project completely shine. The fusion of graphic adventure and card game is fascinating and layered, thanks in part to an inspired Disney-esque art direction. But it is precisely this mixture that hides the production's congenital flaws, leading it down the impassable road of repetitiveness and trial & error. With the right awareness, give it a chance: it might surprise you.

I don't consider myself a big fan of card games but Foretales offered such a convincing perspective that made me interested in the genre. Through ingenious gameplay concepts, exploring a complex narrative with freedom for progression, the title proves itself compelling, establishing the profetic journey of the mercenary Volepain as an excellent card game in the Switch library.

Foretales is a game that perfectly succeeds in creating a story of infinite possibilities. A cross between a fantasy board game and a good book set in the Middle Ages.

Foretales has a lot of moving parts to this card-based game. The narrative-driven mechanic allows the players freedom to select which path to choose and how to play their hand is a fascinating, albeit risky, take on the genre. However, it works. You'll enjoy your time with the game if you approach Foretales as a strategy game rather than a deck-builder.
