The CRPG I Didn’t Know I Needed”: Gorgeous Baldur’s Gate–Style Game with Beat ’Em Up Twist and 91% Positive Steam Reviews Finally Hits 1.0

Banquet of Fools finally graduating from early access is a big moment. Being in Steam Early Access for over a year allowed Hannah and Joseph Games to fine-tune the CRPG based on player feedback, which clearly paid off—both in polish and in the depth of content.

The developers are keeping things exciting with free post-launch updates and new game modes accessible via the “Treasury” in New Game+. That’s a smart way to reward dedicated players who’ve followed the game from early access, and it signals they plan to keep expanding the world and mechanics without fragmenting the player base with paid DLC.

It’s neat to see small studios like this fully embrace community-driven development, where player feedback actively shapes the final release. For anyone who’s been waiting on a refined, quirky CRPG, this release feels like a must-play.
