    One of the best dungeon romps I've played this year. The scale of the adventure may not be epic but the overall package is pure unadulterated addiction. If you like role-playing games then you'll love FATE.

    If there was ever a game to hook a casual player on the charms of dungeon hacking, or absorb an old vet whose time has become a commodity, FATE is it. [Sept 2005, p.48]

    WildTangent deserves a huge amount of praise for delivering a remarkably addictive dungeon crawl, and at a mere $20, it's a fate anyone who enjoyed the solo portion of Diablo shouldn't hesitate to meet.

    Addictive, simple, and enormous fun, Fate's only flaw is that the endless dungeons get depressing as the decor incessantly repeats, and that the simple fishing mini-game often nets you ridiculously expensive top-level items. [Sept 2005, p.102]

    Fate isn't going to glue new brain cells inside your skull, but it isn't going to murder the ones you have. It's a good time, it really never reaches an end, and it may be the best way to while away the lifetime between now and "Diablo III."

    It's a fully 3D action RPG that's like a combination of Diablo and its sequel, but with better graphics.

    Hack-and-slash addicts will enjoy the old-school experience. [Aug 2005, p.58]

    Fate certainly isn't the most innovative title out there. In fact, it's quite easily labeled as a "Diablo" clone, and inherits its predecessor's endlessly repetitive combat and gameplay. However, this game also somehow manages to stay fun hour after hour.

    While far from "innovative" it is a brilliant implementation of the roguelike genre. Fun, addictive, and well worth the price. Simple, easy to puck up, nearly impossible to put down.… Full Review »

    People have been comparing Fate to Diablo, but In fact, it's a perfect homage to Darkstone. It's a lot of fun to play. Everything has been done well. The music is atmospheric and quite beautiful, the animation is great, the control system is good, the graphics are nice. It's an action RPG, not much story, just lots of hacking and slashing and leveling up and finding new armour and weapons. For some weird reason, they've chosen to hobble the camera's rotation (ALA warcraft 3; after turning 45 degrees in any direction the cam won't turn any more and snaps back when you let go of the key.) If you like action RPG's you'll like this one. Don't miss it. Hard to believe such a small team could make such a high quality title. Well done Wild Tangent. I will be looking for your next title.… Full Review »
