A Tale in the Desert is a very interesting, unique and fun game. It is refreshing playing an online world that doesn't have the typical hack and slash emphasis of most recent major ones. The rush to unlock technology and to get that next building up is extremely enjoyable. After making thousands of boards from logs, knowing that the next building you make will automate that process is a great feeling. Tests are also a blast if you have time to complete them. If you want a breath of fresh air and are tired of the seemingly cookie-cutter gameplay of other games, A Tale in the Desert may just be the game for you.
