Adorable League of Legends Crafting RPG ‘Bandle Tale’ Out Now for Switch and PC

Ever wondered what it might be like to live in a magical world as a Yordle, a cute little creature from the League of Legends gaming universe? No? Well, now's your time to find out with the current release of Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story.

You'll play as a young Yordle crafter who's off to discover what happened to Bandle City's portal network. You'll gather with other Yordles, throw fun little parties, quest with various League of Legends champions like Teemo, Tristana, and Veigar, and craft various items to solve puzzles and fulfill requests from different characters along the way.

It's all done in a cute little pixel style that will be familiar to players of retro games like Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda. The writing is fun and self-aware, the storyline is cute, and the crafting mechanic keeps things interesting, too. Bandle Tale's laid-back, almost cozy game-like experience will likely keep you engaged for hours.

The basic game is available for $24.99 on Switch, Steam, the Epic Game Store, and GOG.com, while the Collector's Edition retails for $149.99 at the Riot Games site. Collectors will get the base game, a DLC bundle, a Poro Pet skin pack, a Backpack House skin pack, a Particle Effect trails pack, and a secret menu pack, along with five Yordle figurines, a Bandle Center diorama kit, a sticker set, a wooden pin set, a notebook, a hardcover art book, a special box, and all the digital content from the Deluxe edition of the game.
