Buy FATE: The Cursed King

I've always have been a big fan of the FATE series. My first ever full fledged PC game (that wasn't educationally intended) Was the original FATE. This, FATE: The Cursed King, is the last installment of the series, and I reccomend playing this one above all the other ones. This series is one of the few where it just keeps getting better by the next installment. Without changing what wasn't broken. If you've played the first, you can easily adapt to this one. While adding new elements as well, and FINALLY having no level cap, this is definately worth your time. Also, if you've played Diablo 2, you'll notice similairties with the inventories.
That's ♥♥♥♥ing awesome. Easily anyone can pick up and play this.
You also can get Henchmen, which have three different styles you can make them think. Heal, Defensive, and Offense.
Also, like yourself, you have complete control (besides moving them) of them. Spells, items, weapons, inventories...It's all grand. The amount of loot in this game is absurd, as well. Everything from the previous games are here, while also new ones and designs are added. Plus, FIVE. DIFFERENT. INFINITE. DUNGEONS.

Also, I've made a guide for the game. It's really only useful if you've never played a FATE game, but It's also the only guide for the game. I've put a decent amount of effort into it- I spent my time to make a guide for this game. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=352488747
Shouldn't that say enough? Doctor's orders- Toss your money at this game.

Okay where to start
Do not compare this game with torchlight or diablo
Fate Series came out way before Torchlight and I am guess most people dont realize that this game was aim at younger generation and people who were new to this type of game . So far I love the cursed king. It does have some things diffrent new town, new boss's, new quest et...
Honestly I like how they set this game up. People need to remember this is a new chapter, new generation of Fate.

So much fun! Pretty much the same as the previous FATE games, with more more weapons, armor, and spells. However this game includes the feature to higher allies to fight along side you in your quests. Also includes the same easy to understand and use UI as the previous FATE games. So in essence this might be the best one in the FATE series!

A fun little RPG that have you on your seat for hours of gameplay. This game does not take place in the town of Grove, but in the new setting, the town of Ekbatan. You play as a person who accidently unleashed the greatest foe the town of Ekbatan has seen, and must save the city from their eternal doom.

The best fishing game I've ever played. Here's the gist, you catch fish, feed the best ones to your pet, he transforms into some type of fantasy inspired killing machine, use him to clear out your next fishing hole, repeat.

Now, there is no doubt other ways to approach this game, you can run quests and completely ignore the fishing. It's almost like it's a fully realized action RPG like Diablo, with lots of weapons, armor and items to collect. Which is neat.

Still, you are better served by fishing, and letting your pet take care of the action rpg aspect. He'll complete quests for you as you search for your next fishing hole, and run any of the crap that drops from the monsters back to town for you, as you get in some quality angling time!

I call this Diablo Junior. Affectionately. This is a great game. Random levels is a big deal to me. Fishing. Feeding fish to your pet. I feel that if this game didn't have the whole "cute" vibe it would be more a lot popular. If you get it for under five bucks it's a steal. It's not a masterpiece but it is fun. Very accessible to younger players too.

An older game. I think.....4th in the Fate series. There's no real class system, which, imho works for this game so you could wind up with a decent summoner who's an expert with a sword/bow/hammer/etc.
This game has a virtually limitless amount of levels (character *and* dungeon).
What's good:
-the price right now is a steal....I spent more money on coffee this week.
-lotsa possibilites for how you play your character
-AI 'teammates'
-It is a diablo/roguelike type of game, and I've always liked those
-Single player (see 'What's Bad' below)
What's bad:
-Gets a bit repetative after a while
-Getting better gear means you have to either grind for the attribute level and/or gold and Fame level or use a cheat code
-No multiplayer that I'm aware of (see 'What's Good' above)
-The Fishing aspect is.....just....so....painfully monotonous. Same prob. in Torchlight. I just buy the damn fish I want from the random fish vendor.

I struggled with deciding whether to give this an marignal up or down. On one hand, it is what it is, more of the classic FATE gameplay at a very low price. I was a huge fan of Fate 1 and 2 and so I jumped at the chance to grab this. And yes, it delivered on giving me more FATE.

Problem is that there really isn't any reason to play this. They haven't updated any of the spells, the graphics haven't advanced at all, the story is non-existant, movement is slow, the skills aren't interesting and even combat seems 'meh'. It all just feels old and tedious. Yeah, killing stuff and finding loot always has an alure, but there are just much better options to spend your time playing.

Absolutely everything in this game was just done better in Torchlight 2. If you want to play an amazing ARPG, play that. If you just want to blow some time killing and looting and don't mind playing on an engine from 10 year ago, I suppose this isn't your worst option, just not a great one.

I played the first Fate game in 2005, when I was only 8 years old. It's truly what got me interested in video games in the first place. Love the first game and love this one too. It holds up to its value enormously. It's worth the full price of $8 and you will easily get this out of it. From Fishing, Fighting, Foraging, and Purchasing, this game has it all. 10/10, would buy again in a heartbeat.

Fishing simulator here.
Seriously, the best way to get gear and gold at the start is to fish.
Also use the better fish for pet food and bam! your pet is a killing machine.

The graphics may be old, but it is offline and my cable carrier is being a douch lately.
For an offline game, it is worth the sale price

Befor Torchlight, there was FATE. It is still as good as it was since the first installment all those years ago, and it still holds up.


10/10, I owe my addiction to video games to FATE.

Used to play the original game when i was younger so when i found out there were 3 more I instantly bought this one, its fun, addictive and a great way to throw away hours of your life.

I caught a fish that somehow had a battleaxe in it.

10/10 would play again.

A fun Torchlight like game. The graphics aren't great but at this price that is ok. Also kind of reminds me of old school gaming. Anyway, this is your base rpg. Kill stuff. Gain levels. Travel deeper into a dungeon. It works fine on Windows 8.0

it is a great game, except when your ally casts a minion, like a skeleton, then you log off then log back on, it turns hostile to you! but overall, it is AWESOME!

I have not managed to play this game since it is not compatible with Windows 8. Be sure you can run a different version of Windows before buying this game.

Really good dungeon crawler game wish Diablo 3 could be as fun as this many diffrent veriaties of monsters to fight just as many diffrent combinations of creatures to turn ur pet into and unlimited dungeons to crawl and u cant beat the price since most new games are $60

เล่นไปได้แป๊ปเดียวก็รู้เลยว่าเกมดีมาก ระบบสัตว์เลี้ยงนี่ใช้ได้เลย เอาสัตว์มาต่อสู้พอเลือดหมดก็ส่งกลับเมืองไปขายของกลับมาเลือดก็เต็มซึ่งก็รอไม่นาน ระบบนี้ดีมากแต่ทำไมหลายเกมไม่ยอมทำกัน

Used cheats to get to Dungeon level 5200 at level 2, got my ♥♥♥ kicked.

10/10 will play again

This game can be very fun. If you like things like this. Its kinda like an old-school version of some of the other games now like Diablo III or Torchlight. It can be fun but you have to really get into the game to make it really fun. I rate dis at about 6/10
