The Mage's Tale is a first-person virtual reality dungeon crawler role-playing video game developed and published by inXile Entertainment in partnership with Oculus VR.
Combat is real-time, using physical gestures to throw spells, and a magical shield to block incoming attacks.
UploadVR awarded The Mage's Tale an 8/10 or "Great" score, citing its "engrossing 10+ hour long adventure" and "addictive spellcrafting system" as well as the many boss fights.
[11] PC Gamer's Tom Marks touted the title as "one of the first VR games I've played that feels like the full package," but lamented the lack of strategic depth compared to more traditional dungeon crawlers.
[13] GameSpot reviewed it negatively, praising its tone and environments while criticizing its shallow puzzles, repetitive combat, nauseating movement, and dialogue.
