Now I want to preface that I bought this game thinking it was a D&D-like game. I should also note that I was playing this in VR. Pros: Quick, easy interface with little experience in tabletop gaming required Story is relatively simple and enjoyable for what it is It is fully voice-acted with DM-like experience through a mechanical bird Cons: Linear story, very few choices that change the overall story (from what I've seen at the least) The dice-roll checks seem to be greatly hit or miss Way too many gimmicks in the missions which can make the game feel rather unfun at times Overall: The game feels more akin to a VR-ified version of Shining Force than D&D. The game isn't bad, but I wouldn't call it stellar in any capacity. At the respectable price of $19.99 USD, this game is definitely worth that price range. Give it a go if you like strategy-focused games. Despite my criticisms, I actually enjoy this game. 8.5 out of 10 from me.

About the Game

Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown is a role playing adventure that brings tabletop gaming to life. Take a seat at the magical table, captain the helm, and lead your party of scoundrels as they venture through a world of swashbuckling and sorcery. Immerse yourself in VR or play the non-VR mode through your monitor - you can now choose! While playing Table of Tales in VR is awesome, you don't need VR hardware to join the adventure.
- Embark on a narrative-driven campaign featuring a fully-voiced Dungeon Master companion, who appears as a mechanical talking bird called Arbitrix.
- Guide a party of four scoundrels through a captivating story that is shaped by important world-changing choices!
- High Replayability! NO ONE PLAYTHROUGH IS THE SAME AS ANOTHER BASED ON CRITICAL CHOICES YOU MAKE ON THE WAY!
- Battle, charm or sneak your way through more than 24 enthralling encounters.
- Tactical turn-based combat and encounters feature dice, cards, skill checks and over 40 different types of enemy.
- Each scoundrel has their own skill and stat upgrade path. Choose different abilities each time you play.
- The magical table transforms before your eyes. YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!
- Inspired by the nostalgia of classic tabletop games and built by the team that brought you The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the Fighting Fantasy series, and Warhammer Underworlds: Online.
Please Note: Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown was originally designed for VR. When playing the non-VR mode you may notice some differences in gameplay than what is shown in the trailer or screenshots. The interactive wands that pick up characters, select cards, and roll dice are removed from the non-VR mode. All interactions in the non-VR mode are controlled with a mouse/keyboard or with a controller. Pressing 'escape' on your keyboard will bring up the menu for the Controls.

best table top game with miniatures
~ this game is fun and has a certain appeal for me. I hope you like it too, it has not faults or bugs, its really polished, it's like a simple, 3-D animated board game.
loved it ..short lived beat it 1st time round but very enjoyable ....keep looking for DLC i would buy
I enjoyed my time in this game. The momentum and pace is beautifully captured by the rolling table scene changes, and the narrator's excellent story telling. Luck plays a big part. Death count is likely to be low enough to avoid undue frustration. If you don't clear a scene, think again and take a different path on a redo. Cards control actions, and characters level up at milestones. My only criticism is mistakes being rewarded with a single section of narration, repeated over and over. Otherwise, solid adventuring, good story, very well told. On sale at time of writing this review, and value to be had at twice the price.
Clunky controls. Bland tactical and rpg elements mixed with endless swarms of enemies. Just a slog.
