    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I own an old Toshiba laptop which came bundled with Fate and several other "wild-tangent" game demos...
    When i first acquired the laptop, i was without internet, and I needed something to do. So, i bought the full version of "fate" for $9.99 from wildtangent games.
    The game was good overall, the graphics, music, and sound were fun, engaging, and very relaxing.
    You start off as a male "knight" accompanied by a pet dog or cat (you choose in the start menu).
    Your quest begins in a small village, where you learn from village residents that you must venture into a large nearby multi-leveled dungeon, to defeat village-threatening monsters.
    In the dungeon, you collect jewels, weapons, fish for your pet, gold, spells, and power-ups.
    You learn to use spells, one of which returns you to the village from the dungeon in an instant. You interact with villagers, and tell them about your accomplishments. You trade gems, items, and weapons you've found in the dungeon with them.
    You learn to feed your pet different kinds of fish to cause transformations of your pet into dragons, lizards, and other creatures, who aid you in your slaying of dungeon monsters.
    By trading, finding, and buying weapons and spells you become more and more powerful and more able to delve deeper into the dungeon where more powerful monsters reside.
    As you travel back and forth between the dungeon and the village you are given new goals, which when accomplished, are rewarded with items and power ups.
    These are good concepts and make for a good game... however, there is a big problem with this game; there is only ONE! dungeon, and only ONE! village in the entire game!
    After only a few hours of game play, Fate becomes repetitive and boring. It does not progress in a "linear manner", and while this freedom of game play makes for some fun, you eventually find yourself lost and not knowing what to do next.
    Fate's goal-system, is unorganized.
    Its realm of exploration is too small.
    Fate... half game, half gimmick... an experience just about worth its price.    … Expand

    Проходил в свое время, игра неплоха, такой эдакий клон диабло, но играется прикольно и на то время симпатично. 7/10 стоит попробовать пройти

    This lack of angling variation feels like a missed opportunity. [Issue#144, p.116]

    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]
