The information contained herein is subject to change but the recommendation remains positive despite any bugs and shortcomings that should be resolved in due time. Overview Does anyone remember the shovelware game known as MakeThatMoney and wished that someone competent could have brought out the full potential in that POS? Your prayers have been answered in the form of Urban Tale! Set in lovely Ljubljana,…

My character would constantly get stuck on random items with no way to move them out, so I started over twice and the same happened in different spots. The localization is an atrocious Google Translate job as well. I had high hopes, the concept seemed fun, however execution was poor in ever sense.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Art adorable dans ce jeu, très bon. Le jeu a quelques problèmes mineurs lors de la lecture avec la manette de jeu, mais fonctionne normalement lors du passage au clavier. Gamer offre beaucoup d'explorations, la ville est grande avec beaucoup de choses à faire et beaucoup de gens à voir. Le jeu est pour moi très bien.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should have been an Early Access, not a Full Release, there are unimplemented features, they didn't spellcheck their text at all, errors everywhere in their syntax, it's cringy, the relationship system consist of spamming the same one liner every times you speak to an NPC, the law system make no sense either, the cops instantly jail you if your heat is maxed, and if you get away with your stuff without max heat and store your stuff, if you meet a cop on the street they SOMEHOW know…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its an ok game, more could be done i suppose but its full of bugs and glitches and at one point it wouldnt even let me save on a file i previously saved in and when i went back in that whole file was gone, i like it, i dont mind playing with bugs but it could be better. Just find all the trash and sell it everyday whilst your not working.

And I got my heart broke yet again. Big Oof. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z44nnpYwvM A game with very nice art work, great music, and a ton of potential.. sadly just lacks "fun" even after all this time. I wanted so much to play this today and find that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is true gem of indie games! After few minutes of gaming I felt I'm falling in love with this project. The whole urban life simulation idea is completely amazing and has huge potential. I can't even imagine how many DLCs this game can get in the future! I was so happy to finally find urban simulation game with pixel-art graphics! It looks awesome and fits the game very well without stealing your attention from gaming process. 5 stars urban life simulation game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not really sure if Urban Tale is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to play this game, but I have been pretty disappointed. The graphics and characters are very cute and in theory, the game is great. I'm really surprised that this isn't in early access because it feels very much incomplete. My main issues are below, and I hope the developers do continue to work with this title, because it really could be great. 1. tutorials are difficult to understand and need copy editing. sometimes they reference features that are not released yet and concepts…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked both the idea and the implementation. Despite the small problems, it can be seen that the developer did a great job on the project and took it out of early access (which is a rarity for Steam). The visual component of the project is extremely good and will delight fans of pixel art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as others have stated, I was pretty much soft locked out. This note is for the Dev's. Why a thumbs down and what happened: I started, got a newspaper and set up a job interview at the bar. After talking to the interviewer (lady next to bar under dart board) I was trapped to the left of her. I had no way to move up, down, left, or right. Totally trapped. Decided to start a new save since I'd only been in game for 5 minutes. Set up another interview at same bar. Went to talk to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good - get's regular updates Been streaming this game on Twitch a few times and the game runs very well and above all there is a lot of things you can do in the game hence the game does not get boring to viewers while i stream it. Above all i found the crafting very good! One of the better features of the game, i think, feels very natural and unforced to succeed in the game this way. Had some issues with the tutorial as i confused me a bit the first time, but after a while i got the hang…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no way this game is complete. There are so many spelling errors, the tutorial is terrible at explaining anything, and very buggy. The menus don't pause the game when they open so looking at the map takes up a lot of time, especially because the names only pop up on top of the buildings sometimes. I picked the florist career and I have no idea where I'm supposed to go to water flowers besides it telling me to go to the "Forrest Path". There should be at lease somewhat of an explanation…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Enjoyable! The game has some really nice and unique features which I liked. Obviously it's not finished yet, but has great potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game because I liked the concept and wanted to back the idea, but it hasn't improved significantly since I bought it. It's unfinished, unpolished, and just not a very good simulation even after looking past the buggy nature and half-finished aspects. The only way I could even consider recommending this is if it went on sale for a couple bucks, and even then it would be a half-hearted recommendation.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is an RPG game with retro pixel graphics. The plot, I would say, is pleasant, it shows us various life situations. I also note that the game is quite suitable for weak PCs, so if you are looking for a game to play, then this is a really good option.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd buy it for a dollar.....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just a gem among indie games! After just a few minutes of playing, I felt more and more fascinated by this project. The basic idea of the urban life simulator is great and has great potential for development. It's hard to even imagine how many additions can be added to this game in the future! I was incredibly pleased to find a city life simulator game with pixel graphics - it looks amazing and fits perfectly into the gameplay without distracting attention from it. The game gets 5 stars!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Personal Game Score: 4 / 10 + Good game design + Good soundtracks - Buggy - Confusing on where exactly to go for first time players. - Buggy keys. Like I cannot press "R" sometimes like its not functioning. - Why can I only walk through the pedestrian? - Bad map mechanics. - Laggy. My PC can run up to mid-tier games like COD, Just Cause 1,2, & 3, etc. just fine and smooth but this game is so laggy on mid to high graphics. Overall: For me it is a bad game in terms of some aspects like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping this was going to be a little like The Sims as you could do whatever you wanted - just in a different styled world. I love games of this genre and have a variety of them in my library, so I was really hoping this would be one I'd be wanting to keep! However, aspects of the game were too buggy even for me to deal with. For example; I had an interview at the Bakery, went to the Bakery on time but no option for Interview came up and thus I missed it. I then applied to be a Florist…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this little game. clearly a great deal of work has gone into it. only an hour played but no problems and lots of fun exploring nice job. the only thing I would like to see is the ability to click on the map to go where I need to
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is great and if it weren't for the bugs, it would've been such a great game. Waiting for the updates so I can finally properly play Here were a few major issues for me; 1. Every time I load in from a save, it always assumes that it's a new game. I lose my job and the quests reset, it updates me on my skills, etc. 2. The controls are a bit wonky. For a wasd type of game, the inventory and transfer of items should be a lot more smooth than this. Accessing the backpack is such a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of potential, but it's just not playable where it's at now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Typos and bugs everywhere, with little to keep you interested. For a full release, this is incredibly disappointing and unpolished, with game-breaking bugs occurring literally less than 10 minutes into playing. My character got hungry, so I bought some food at the Chinese restaurant. I am clicking to eat the food, and the eat sound is playing, but the food is not being eaten. Same for an energy drink. I reported a typo five months ago and it has not been fixed, despite the devs responding…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Concept is very cool. Poorly executed. I want to like it but its buggy and not very intuitive. Wait on this in case it gets better but not worth the spend atm.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good I like it because it covers everything a good RPG should and has many little features which drive your progress forward but are not essential to your progress. Some mechanics are a bit complicated and easy to figure out. The travel agent career at the airport is the best way to make lots of money I found.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a full release of a game, this should not have as many bugs as it does, it's unacceptable. The game idea is nice and the pixel art style is lovely, but with so many bugs it's not enjoyable. Jobs are bugged, relationships are bugged, saves are bugged, characters only have 2-3 dialog options which gets boring fast. I have high hopes for the future of this game IF it is fixed but for the moment I regret purchasing it and advise others not to.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The amount of bugs and poor game design is just ridiculous. Even if you figure things out and are able to enjoy it for a few hours, there's always something else. Now, my game simply doesn't save my progress even when it shows a new saved time-stamp in-game and it also consistently crashes within an hour, taking me back to my progress (money, care, career, and relationship progress reversed) from the same point in the game I have now gotten past four times. It's just the same thing over and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little Slovenian game. I had a friend from Slovenia for years so this was a plus straight away. Nice soft colours and some complex themes, I do like putting the stock market right next to the casino and the recycling. It is not a fast game, which is also helpful. It is a slow grower. Pleasant and with just enough potential edge to make it less cosy, which is a plus. I probably wouldnt want to play it without the potential for mayhem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is unfinished!!! There isn't much to do and after playing for an hour the game crashed and lost all of progress.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to this game. Liked the concept but there are so many bugs it's ridiculous. I've gotten a grand total of three hours in and have encountered just as many bugs forcing me to restart. First bug, set up an interview for a job... showed up early/on time and went to speak with the person for the interview and it didn't list an option for being there for the interview. Then the game tells you you're late for your interview and that you missed your chance and to try again.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update October '23: Wow this is so much better. I can finally go to the job interviews. However, when I show up for my shift the next day, nothing happens? Am I doing something wrong? I talk to the shopkeep and there is no dialogue option. Can't go in the back either. The "Hints" are really unhelpful. Also, gardening is buggy. still. I can't plant any seeds. And now I can't eat and the map is all bugged out. So the game fixed some bugs and created others. It's maddening. I know this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried to like this game. I really did even though I read a lot of negative reviews, but this is just unplayable. The UI is bad, the conversations are repetitive even just 5 mins into the game, there are grammatical errors, the controls don't work properly, and so much more. I'll be refunding this game. It's really saddening since I do see a potential for this game to be amazing, sadly I believe that it won't come to be.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has so much potential but there are basic issues that arent being fixed. For example there is a consistent bug which doesn´t let you eat food. or some interactions with the NPCs don´t work well. In terms of how the game is played I would suggest naming certain places on the map, Stop the Christmas theme because is irrelevant now, and make some animations for dancing, petting and working. pressing click and seeing the player do nothing in the cleaning job makes it look lazy. As I said…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still needs more time in the oven... I experienced several bugs right off the bat, but in addition to that there were several quality of life issues that simply seemed to have been ignored - both the bugs and the QoL issues were already mentioned in the forums awhile ago, yet remain at this time. While fixing bugs can take time, these didn't seem to be all that complex of an issue, but it really wasn't the bugs that caused me grief. The QoL stuff was my real issue. Things such as missing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is a captivating and thought-provoking game that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its intriguing storyline and immersive gameplay. The graphics are stunning and the music sets the perfect mood for the game. I highly recommend giving Urban Tale a try, you won't be disappointed!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not s good game, the comments are deceptively positive. It's buggy to the point that's not enjoyable. I couldn't even get a job in the game because every time i tried to attend an "interview" there was no interview to be had. Refunded. Not worth the price at all. Game is clunky and not intuitive at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy, 7hrs of play time is mostly from it freezing when I tried to close the game, forgetting about it and taking a nap. This game is unplayable for me at the moment. Luckily, I bought it on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is incredibly buggy, its hard to navigate the world based on the map and a lot of the game isn't usable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Geiles spiel. Mag ich sehr. Kommen Erinnerung auf meine Kindheit und unzählige stunden beim PC, wenn ich das spiele. Die pixel- Grafik ist sehr detailliert, spiel weise ist einfach und man versteht sehr schnell, was zu tun ist. Wunsche mir mehr solche spiele.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to enjoy this game when its not buggy. Saves wont save right , you'll lose all your exp at your job , very buggy map , and sometimes E wont work. I love pixel simulation games but this sucks :/ hopefully with more updates itll get better (though I dont understand why they FULL REALEASED it when its SO BUGGY)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the premise of the game is nice, and it definitely has some potential, there's way too many bugs and it's difficult to get into! The art style is nice and (in my opinion) unique, but that doesn't do much to cover the flaws, unfortunately. Sometimes, controls just stop working all-together, the map doesn't help very much with finding where you want to go outside of the places that get pinned (such as your home and the news stands) because hovering over the buildings on the map doesn't tell…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is a real life simulation game in pixel graphics. A game worthy of the attention of Sims fans.We start from scratch. Looking for a job, doing all sorts of tasks, making friends. They won’t put you in charge right away, we start with a cleaning lady, and we build the career ladder ourselves. Choose who you want to be and get on the road.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is a game where you will need to start your life from scratch. And given that life is not a fairy tale, making your successful, happy life in a big city is not so easy. But I want to note that unlike real life, here people exist as a springboard for the achievement of their own goals. It is necessary to constantly interact with people in order not to stand in the same place and develop. I am glad that Urban Tale has a huge choice of professions and entertainment. For three hours of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is a game about life. And it would seem that everything is so simple, but life is not an easy thing and people here help us in achieving our goals, since in the game we start from scratch, then these people exist for a successful life :) The beauty of the game is that we can be anything from a thief to a trash collector. Also, there is a change of seasons, which in turn adds atmosphere and greater realism. But if this is not enough for you, then we are allowed to play for different…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is nice, I like the ideas and the features. But the game needs a lot of polishing. I found myself confused more than once, the tutorial runs on about currently irrelevant things instead of taking it one step at a time, and it's also pretty long and I'm too lazy to scroll and read tutorial. I'd like it to be more visual and summarized. I was stuck at my job (florist) not sure what to do. I couldn't water anything, didn't know where to look. I do recommend it because it's still…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is pretty good! If you are a fan of old school rpg games this game is definitely for you. The art and the characters are pretty amazing too. I would recommend you to buy this!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. I really love the artwork and the general look of the game. I think it suits the game and I get a positive feeling every time I play it. I like how the whole exterior of the city is set up and I like how the music is calming. The game promises that you will get to feel the city life and the developers hold that promise. The developers did a good job so far and am sure they will take more time to add new features. Urban tale is a great game and I am recommending it to anyone. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is a fantastic game that offers a unique and immersive experience. The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is engaging, and the overall atmosphere is vibrant and exciting. I love being able to create my own character and make decisions that impact the world around me. The world of Urban Tale feels alive and dynamic, with endless possibilities for exploration and adventure. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a rich and fulfilling gaming experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the price is too high, but in principle it's not bad. Good pixel graphics, gameplay is similar to stradew valley.In general, it will do for a couple of evenings
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For such a simple game, it seems poorly designed for either keyboard or joypad that i can't even play "properly" on my setup without having either an issue with keyboard commands or mouse commands... Until then...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried playing this promising game but was totally floored on how much bugs there are in this game! I can't do nothing without running right into some sort of bug. Like going to work and the game says that I'm "late" even though I'm already at the jobs location early and fails to start properly. Or going to the movies and buy a ticket but won't let me in to watch it, etc, etc. I'm currently asking for a refund. Someone please bring an exterminator to kill the bugs that are plaguing this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →like the premise but hasnt really worked for me so far, doesn't show text options/time of day/how much money i have theyre just blank boxes where text should be so a waste of money really
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have watched this project throughout Early Access, but decided to buy only when the game released in full access. All in all, it's pretty good for an indie. The graphics and soundtrack make it possible to feel nostalgic about the old days, when there were few games and you had to play the ones that were. Against the background of most modern games, this project has been implemented quite well. I would like new updates and features to appear in the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everytime I load the game I wound up losing my job? This game has so many glitches and boring NPC characters that all repeat the same dialogue, there just isn't anything fun about this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Tale is a great choice for fans of mystery and suspense. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the story is engaging. The puzzles are challenging but fair. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a good story-driven adventure
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game of life in two d, even considering that the game is two d, very good drawing/graphics interface and similar accompanying. Thank you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The goal is to live in a small digital town. First, get a job starting as a cleaner. Nice pixel graphics, good sound and music.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game could be fun if not for it being so buggy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fairly decent game all things considered but it could be so much better. There are many glitches that need to be fixed: *The tv never works so the only options for fun fulfillment are the theaters and casino. The dance option at the club doesn't work. *Petting pets doesn't work and will permanently add a "press e to pet" dialogue box on the screen. *Items will randomly disappear from the bag at times (not only when you have apples). *Sometimes the interaction button stops…
