![]() ![]() Ocean Media provided us with a Kingdom Tales Switch code for review purposes. Simply being able to play the game on your Switch is no reason to pay extra, especially when the only thing that differs between these games is the theme. Of course, the worst part of that is that, like those other games, Kingdom Tales typically costs $10 - which seems to be about $9 too much, seeing as you could probably find a mobile game with the exact same gameplay (not to mention no eye-searingly bad cutscenes) for a fraction of the price. The good news is that it features a less abysmal cutscene to start, but apart from that, it?s no different than the other games.) ![]() Your entire family will be entranced as Scarboy and his friends boldly follow the one True King to overcome the evil Enchanter and his tenacious hold on the oppressed residents of Enchanted City.

The good news is that brief moment of horribleness has nothing to do with the rest of the game. I?m quite sure I watched re-taped cassettes on my VCR back on my old CRT TV 25 or 30 years ago that looked better than this. Like, we?re talking video quality that maybe - maybe - would have been acceptable back in the PS1 era. What I wasn?t expecting at all was the ugliest cutscene imaginable to start off the game. I figured it would be a pretty basic resource management game with a vaguely medieval/fantasy skin, and not much else. ![]() Seeing as I?ve played a pair of Tales games from Ocean Media in the past year (note: not Tales of, but simply blank Tales), I went into Kingdom Tales with a pretty good idea of what to expect. ![]()
