    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.

    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.

This is the precursor to Torchlight and Torchlight II.With FATE now arriving to Steam, I figured I should share how great of a game it is! This is the precursor to Torchlight and Torchlight II. It's a very simple, loot-fest with a never-ending and randomly-generated dungeon. It's an awesome game, it's easy to pick up and put down, doesn't require a lot of commitment or effort and it's very enjoyable. It now even has 1920x1080 resolution, which I'm pretty sure was a thing of the future when it was released. Some people are complaining about bugs with the Steam version, I've never had a problem with that one or the WildTangent download. This game is a classic, and it deserves no less than a 10/10. Amazingly fun and simple game, and very nostalgic to me and I'm sure a lot of other people that grew up with this game. It has tons of weapons, multiple skills to learn, and a great system to build your character towards a desired style. If you want to be a wizard, upgrade magic and the multiple magic skill perks. If you want to be a warrior, you can upgrade the type of weapon you want to use as well as your strength and dexterity. Tons of different ways to play it that will keep it interesting despite the very simplistic gameplay. Get it!… Expand

Everything 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
