Ancient Persia carries the weight of timeless legends — stories carved into the soul of history, yet too often left in silence and shadow. It fills me with pride to see small, passionate teams breathe life back into

The Tales of Bistun was enjoyable throughout. There is a nice combination of story to puzzle to combat and the length of each 'Level' is appropriate. The combat is not tough, you can challenge yourself by stacking

The game isn't that much of an impact but if you like Farhad and Shirin tale and you want an amusing plot with a decent gameplay I recommend this game, because the time to beat it isn't that long for it to become boring.

A surprisingly solid indie title based on a Persian folklore. I dont know much about the original story but from what can be gathered while playing the game is that it is based off a tragic romance type narrative.

+ Beautiful art and excellent storytelling. - The combat could be more sophisticated, especially the boss fights. I also did not notice any difference in the weapons after each upgrade. - Sometimes, the camera movement
