If Minecraft captured the first-person sandbox market, Terraria arguably carved its own identity on the side-scrolling sandbox genre. And it’s the latter that Jenito’s MicroTale appears to be attempting to emulate, with the game now available for purchase through Desura.

As our own Alex Bokan noted in his preview of the game back in January, MicroTale is a creative sandbox title with a few RPG elements thrown in for good measure. Set in a randomly-generated 2D environment, the game encourages players to explore and experiment with the landscape in order to gain loot, cash and resources. Much like many of its counterparts in the sandbox genre, MicroTale  also contains its fair share of NPC enemies and, thus, combat encounters, which aim to secure a happy medium between structural planning and battle preparation.
