Endlessly Classic

Fate feels just as fresh as it did back in 2005, and its procedural dungeons still somehow keep from feeling too stale. Even looking back on it all these years later, it stands out as more than just a point & click Diablo-clone- Sure, its story isn't much to sneeze at- And it may not be the best looking title of the era-- But its lighthearted fantasy framing, endless replayability, and the suprisingly robust systems it has underhood really pull together to give Fate some real soul and a ton of heart. If you missed this one back in the day, or you've been wondering about a replay, Fate is a game that, as unassuming as it may appear, has real potential to suck you in for hours at a time.

Simple Warm and Nostalgic

I picked up this game physically way back when and I had an excellent time before I'd even heard of Diablo. Going back, Fate is definitely Diablo JR from the G-rated violence to the fairytale theme, but it innovated the genre too. It was the first time that I played an ARPG with pets to carry your stuff and fight by your side, which makes dungeon crawling far less tedious. There's fishing too! Torchlight really borrowed a lot from this game, although some of the developers may have been the same. The Celtic music gives it a feel all it's own: more whimsy and exploration than darkness and danger. Like other Action RolePlaying Games you have to love the loop to enjoy the experience. You get quests, go to the dungeon, travel down layer by layer fighting monsters and gathering new equipment while earning experience to improve abilities and spells. Simple, classic, clean. It can get repetitive but you don't play this kind of game if you're expecting Skyrim or Baulder's gate. It's procedurally generated so even the final boss is entirely random and your Hub might have the same buildings and NPCs but in different locations every new game you play. You can spend money in town to buy higher level gear or just grind for it in the dungeon itself. Also you can spend money for the bard in town to improve your reputation which means better prices for bartered items. Fate is charming, speedy, bright and full of color even in the deepest dungeon. Take it in doses and go in looking for a light and user friendly adventure!

A wonderful little game

This is a wonderful game, I remember playing this ages ago and it is a solid dungeon crawler with some simple mechanics but a very fun gameplay loop! There is no in-game setting for Borderless window, but you can look into the DAT file and change Fullscreen: 1 to 0 instead and that should do it!
