April 2025

Ale & Tale Tavern is a first-person tavern sim with generally shallow systems and the cringiest dialogue I've ever heard, but I've racked up ~10 hours (mostly solo) because there's plenty to do and it's good dumb fun. What Works For Me ✅ You brew your tavern's ale and cook your tavern's food, which is all I want from a tavern-themed game. There are no cooking minigames, though; you just toss everything into the appropriate workstation and call it a day. ✅ Running your tavern is a lot of manic scurrying to-and-fro, hammering machines back together as you try to keep up with the flow of customer orders, their ever-decreasing patience, and towering piles of dirty dishes. I don't know, I think stress is fun; juggling a fully unlocked tavern on my own is a good time. ✅ If you get overwhelmed, you can purchase adorable owl helpers. ✅ The open world isn't particularly expansive, but it's fun to explore and includes plenty of strange lore and hidden secrets to discover. Plus, you can deliver orders to folks in the wild. What Doesn't Work For Me ❎ The dialogue is just... the absolute worst. It tries to be funny but frequently overshoots and lands firmly in "cringe" territory. The good news is that everyone in the world recognizes your character as the village idiot as soon as you open your mouth. ❎ Your tavern isn't customizable, and decorating is extremely limited. ❎ Combat kinda sucks, especially for single players, and it's unavoidable. There are so many quests that I can't progress because I don't have the right weapons or enough health or a second body to throw at the killer wasps while I run away. (EDIT: See comments for combat pointers!) ❎ Farming is tedious. Why is it so tedious. ❎ You cannot pause the game even in single-player mode. If you spend too long in a menu, or walk away from your computer, odds are good that a zombie's gonna try to eat your brains. ❎ Weak character customization that's quite annoying to use (see upcoming points about familiar asset packs), but has enough options for my husband to run around half-naked with a bucket on his head. Final Thoughts + Recommendation Ale & Tale uses the same assets as Tavern Management Simulator and like three other upcoming titles, but it does enough things differently to stand out from the rest and it never takes itself seriously. As much as I'm going to complain about combat, and despite the way my soul shrivels every time I need to plant more barley, I've had fun playing it both with friends and alone. Give this a try if you want to goof off with your friends in a tavern, or are looking for a first-person management game that isn't too complex or detailed.

good game, bad people. tried as a women to play with randoms one time, got called a slave, a bitch and all kinds of other insults. Don't really care just not nice when playing a calm game. VALORANT'S PLAYERS ARE EVERYWHERE NOW!

I absolutely adore this game and its the only thing I can think about all day long. I ADORE you added helpers for us who mostly play singleplayer, its so hard to manage a full tavern without help and Owlbert is such a big help! I am still lvl 8 and have not made much progress in this new update but I have some tips 1. PLEASE let me name my owl helpers! I need it and LET ME PET THEM for doing such a good job!!! 2. more talking with scary? I like him and he always greets me when I walk pass him. 3. Paint job to repaint my tavern, Owlberts little hut and his adorable little cape? 4. Beds upstairs for socially tired customers?they can request food, drink and a key to their room?

Dec. 2024

Pros: - The scarecrow is super cute - Medieval DoorDash - Hitting drunk customers with a broom is surprisingly fun - Combat is fine once you get used to the mechanics - Skyrim reference - Getting the ingredients to cook isn't a hassle Cons: - Leveling up to a weapon that isn't an axe is kind of a drag - When the customers get drunk, their singing is quite nice, but you still have to whack em to make them leave. I'd like a drunken bard in my tavern - If the dirt/footsteps/other gunk you have to clean were more visible, that would be sick. I hate having to track down the dirt to sweet up, it just doesn't contrast enough for me visually Super fun game tho, well worth the price

This game reminds me most of a certain custom sailing vessel survival/exploration game when I bought it in early access years ago. If the developer follows through and gets more content added, I think this will be a really fantastic game, just like that other game has become. My biggest suggestions to add would be: There is enough world for now. Focus on the tavern, furnishings, and new mechanics to make running it more interesting to operate. A reception desk and 2-4 guest rooms upstairs, which you can furnish yourself. Bonuses from decorations, perhaps a "tipping" system where customers pay a little extra. Integrate your time to take orders, and deliver dishes, with the tipping system. XP from the quest board, and slow down the incoming rate of quest board quests. Mechanics for aging brews that can take a few in-game days to increase their value by stepping them into higher tiers with a progression bar, perhaps slow down the very rapid brewing mechanics already in place. Some ability to customize and expand the farm. The ability to customize / expand the prepared dish shelves. NPC dialog. Even if they remain AI generated, more variety of greetings is badly needed.
