Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown PS4

Table Of Tales: The Crooked Crown is a combination of a card game with a fictionalized board game with RPG elements, which we play with the use of virtual reality googles on Playstation 4. Transferring a board game to the digital world is not new for the studio Tin Man Games which is known for The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain and inspired by a paragraph game The Forest of Doom.

Plot

The titular Table of Tales is a magical artifact that gives the opportunity to experience countless adventures in different worlds to anyone who decides to sit in it. When we decide to do so, the table comes to life and a board of a world full of magic and pirates opens up for us. We are given the opportunity to lead a four-person rogue team: Nuna, The Hammer, Thomas and Horatio. Our task is to experience many adventures, get to know the world around The Crown archipelago, make the best decisions and fight. And all this in order to end up with as many treasures as possible.

Mechanics

The game is aimed at getting to know the story, which is influenced by the decisions we make. Many times they can lead us to battles with various opponents.

In the game we manage figures representing members of our team, which, like in a board game, move along a grid composed of squares. Each of the heroes specializes in different skills and has his own range of special abilities, which, when used wisely, become the key to winning fights. It is also connected with playing the appropriate skill cards and on a lucky dice throw.

Technical aspects

Table Of Tales: The Crooked Crown is adjusted to the gameplay using Playstation VR glasses.
