In the bustling world of Tavern Keeper, the daily rhythm of a tavern keeper unfolds in delightful chaos. Picture this: a talking skeleton, with a curious demeanor, approaches the bar seeking employment, while a pale octopus gracefully navigates the swamp to deliver essential supplies—potatoes and rat meat. The atmosphere is infused with a hint of magic as players can even peer into the future to anticipate whether tonight’s patrons will engage in a spirited game of darts.
Embracing the Tavern Life
For those who have longed for a fantasy game that allows them to step into the shoes of a humble tavern keeper rather than a valiant hero, Tavern Keeper is a dream come true. Despite being in early access, and with just eight hours of gameplay under my belt, I find myself enchanted by its charm. The game, which has been over a decade in development, invites players to manage a tavern filled with quirky characters and whimsical challenges.
However, as with many early access titles, Tavern Keeper is not without its quirks. Players may encounter occasional bugs, particularly with employees who sometimes get stuck or fail to complete their tasks. While these glitches can be mildly frustrating, they are not game-breaking. The developers at Greenheart Games have been proactive, providing multiple updates daily since the game’s launch earlier this week, and a dedicated button for reporting bugs ensures that player feedback is valued.
As I delve deeper into the game, I look forward to completing the third campaign and eventually exploring the freeplay mode. The developers have ambitious plans for the future, including new realms such as an underground dwarven settlement and an enchanting elven village, promising to expand the tavern experience even further.
For those intrigued by this unique venture into tavern management, Tavern Keeper is currently available on Steam at a 20% discount until November 17, making it an opportune time to join the adventure.
