Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I'm not sure why, but this game is more enjoyable than Torchlight. There is more of a straightforward Diablo feeling in FATE. This is an excellent action RPG. Quite smooth and nervous gameplay at the same time. And it still look good, in a blocky vintage kind of way.
(Note: FATE 3 The Traitor Soul features an improved version of FATE 1 and 2. You can start any of the three games from the starting hub in-game, with all the enhancements of the third applied to the former chapters.)
FATE: The Traitor Soul (TS) is best summarised as:
"Yo Dawg, I herd you like FATE, so I put a FATE in your FATE so you can deep delve while you deep delve."
The title of this review is not hyperbole: TS contains the two realms in FATE: Undiscovered Realms (UR), but with improvements to NPC voice lines (they may actually say something now, instead of coughing or clearing their throat) on top of improvements to the overall game formula, such as a complete removal of the level cap (it was 199 in UR), the ability to use two weapon setups on the fly, and the addition of the species system that gives your character some starting handicaps based on which species you decide to play as.
By now, many players of the WildTangent or Steam release should be aware that Grove, the realm in the first FATE, is locked behind an integer in its realms.dat file. In this GOG.com release, however, Grove is already unlocked, so fiddling with that file in a text editor is a thing of the past.
All of the above is this game's supplementary content. TS adds a new, fourth dungeon, called the Chamber of Trials, whose monster levels will always scale with your character's (as opposed to the dungeons in Grove, Druantia, and Typhon, where monster levels stop scaling once your character reaches a high enough level), so you just can't cheese it through level grinding - you need to master the mechanics of the game to do more than just survive, especially on Legend difficulty.
TS also retains the same QoL improvement seen in the GOG.com release of the other FATE games - common widescreen resolutions are immediately selectable from the Options menu, so you don't need to fiddle with config.dat.
If you must choose only one of the FATE games to buy, it's a toss-up between this and The Cursed King. The latter takes place in a different realm and features its own spread of dungeons along with minor improvements over TS, although only one dungeon is available at the start.
Overall - Honestly, a really enjoyable dungeon crawler. Simple to grasp, yet has some completixity at times. 8.5/10
Easy to pick up and fun to play, I've spent a lot of hours playing already and will likely spend many more, really enjoyable.
Could there be better tooltips and advice on what certain aspects do, absolutely! It's an old game, they often have poorly explained controls.
