The Vale: Shadow of the Crown
A sightless warrior's world is that of intimate detail: an enemy's rasping breath, a foot shifting on swampy ground, the crack of steel on leather. The Vale is an audio-based action adventure game that sets out to breathe new life into medieval combat.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
