5.0 out of 5 stars A fun time, December 28, 2006

I picked this up recently because I needed something that didn't require lots of RAM or a strong Graphics card. It's always better to play it on a stronger computer but you can play it on many older rigs.

I was immediately impressed by it. Great graphics, pretty good fight controls (point and click to attack), the gore factor is a big ZERO which I feel is fine in this case, the tasks/quests are pretty straight forward and easy to understand.

The only bad thing to say is that it gets repeatative. "Please go to dungeon level 3 and find my morningstar that was taken by a troll named scruffy and return it to me for a reward." (These are not the real names from the game. They are more professional in the game)

Next Quest, "Please go to Dungeon level 5 and stop a group af red jelly monsters form threatening our town"

his goes on again and again. The monsters just get stronger and bigger.

Your pet companion is a cute idea that was very much like THE BARDS TALE. You have a Yorkshire Terrier or a Cat as a companion. When you go fishing, you can catch fish to feed to the pet which, in turn, turn it into a stronger, bigger pet. Most fish transformations last 2-3 minutes on the dog/cat but I found one that turned my dog into a large spider permanently. (or until you feed it a different fish)

The stronger your character becomes, the better the items become that are available from merchants in town.

It's a great game that is fun for everyone if you don't mind a little similar quests.

4.0 out of 5 stars First-rate RPG goodness, February 20, 2007

This inexpensive, simple little Diablo clone is a first-rate time-waster RPG for those who want a simple stress-reliver to while away an hour or two. It is essentially Diablo 1 with a much deeper dungeon and the shift from a class-based RPG to a skill-based one. It also adds the rather entertaining feature of having a pet that morphs into a killer monster-companion by feeding it select species of fish. Graphically, Fate is a slight improvement over the Diablo games with full 3-D scrollability and a more cartoonish look. But at its heart, it is just Diablo 1 with some nice additions. If you want solo dungeon crawling fun with no danger of multiplayer exploiters ruining your fun, look no further.

When my father bought a new computer Fate happened to be one of the free trial games on it. Well, i thought it looked interesting enough and i liked the fact you get a faithful pet sidekick (i own a Jack Russell Terrier) and gave it a whirl. SIX HOURS later i still couldn't stop playing!! The world created within is utterly fascinating and a whole lot of fun. I don't play computer games often so this is new for me. The graphics are absolutely beautiful, the movement and action is smooth and fascinating (especially when casting spells!) Choose your own character and build him or her to be a warrior or magician or BOTH. Gather objects to keep or sell and gain experience points as you complete tasks for the villagers. The more points you have the more awesome things you can do. Gain a reputation, earn money and buy armor and spells to be a force to be reckoned with. This is a simple game to play even if you've never done RPG before. It's not bloody or graphic like some action games and your pet can't die! (feed him health potions to keep him healthy) Go fishing and catch totally crazy things (like i pulled a sword and helm out of a fish!) There really isn't anything else to say except this is a game that is completely worth it at any age. Go buy it already!
