    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.

    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.… Expand

    Addictive and fun. Excellent game and even more impressive when you realize how small the team was and how quickly it was made. Kudos.

    This is an awesome game. I am level 99 with a level 68 Bengal Tiger pet. It is the most awesome game ever! A Total 10!

    This is a fun distraction, no instruction manual needed. Fate isn't groundbreaking, but it is easy to play and quickly engrosses you in the game. I particularly like the fact that you can send your pet to town to sell your loot rather than traipsing back and forth yourself every couple of minutes. A good deal and lots of fun for only $20.

    Great downloadable game. Easy to get into, hard to master. I give it a 10 for the value, at only 20 dollars. If it cost more, i would want more game play. Great graphics, neat characters, a bit repetitive.

    Not very innovative, but surprisingly fun. It's a Diablo clone, so if you enjoyed Diablo, you'll like this. I've played other Diablo clones but this one is more fun (even though it may be simpler). You'll get many hours of gameplay for only 20 bucks.

    This is a Darkstone clone with improved graphics and no weapon durability (I hate weapons degrading). Since I love Darkstone, I was very happy to find this bargain priced gem of a dungeon crawler.

    Obedobie is a moron. Plain and simple. This is, for a low-priced WildTangent PC game, an excellent play. Now it's no Bioware or Bethesda game, that's for sure, however it is playable, and for a good period of time, enjoyable. One thing to note. Years before it was paraded before the gaming community in a high end 360 game, Fate implemented the same weapon generating system that Borderlands uses. It has thousands maybe, tens of thousands, of weapons.… Expand

    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]

    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.
