 Fate Undiscovered Realms PC Game September 8, 2009
A. C. Luke (New York, NY USA)
When i tried the game free it seemed fun, so i decided to buy it. But after playing it for two days, and reaching level 20 it got absolutely boring. This game may be okay for a pre-teen kid, its all hack and slash and mild violence, no blood and gore. The game is so repetative and boring. New armor and weapons gives it some goals, but I wasn't impressed. Neverwinter Nights and even Baldur's Gate was more fun than this game.
Don't waste your money on this game or the sequel. Unfortunately I bought both.

If you ever played Diablo I or II, playing Fate would be like a walk down Memory Lane. Why? The interface is similar, the potion system is similar, even the quests are similar. The main difference is probably the fact that you have a pet dog or cat that follows you everywhere. Your pet is basically useless and you can't customize your pet either but it's there and it does act as a tank of sorts since it never dies.
It's basically a hack n' slash type of game. There's not much of a storyline and there's definitely no character development so don't expect that when playing this game. Unlike Diablo though, there's no "class" that you choose. It's just one character that you can customize to be a warrior, a mage, or a rogue--or some other combination. Nothing is set up for you. You have the potential to make a hybrid character or a jack-of-all-trades type of character. You can learn spells, you can use certain weapons if you got the right stats, and a type of skills tree. If you liked Diablo, you're probably going to like Fate minus all the gore. I definitely enjoyed playing it.

This game of monsters and bugs to fight. This game of quests to solve so you can level up. This game of gold. This game of armour and weapons. This game is gotta be on your play list. This game is cute yet easy to play and keeps you wanting more. I have played both Fate and Fate Undiscovered Realms and love them. I also love the idea of having a pet that fights with you and being able to send it back to town to sell things for gold. As most games like this there are lots of neat weapons and armour and sometimes it is a tough choice which is better. Sometimes it seems all the great stuff and some good stuff is inaccesable. I love these games and hope there will be a third instalment.

Important note -- the full version of Fate #1 comes as part of this game! If you don't have either Fate game, this is the one to buy.
This game is basically Fate #1, but requiring more mouse clicks and equipment with elemental resistances (they pushed magic in this game, it was weaker in the first). Instead of one normal dungeon, you have two realms. A forest realm with an insect theme and an ice realm with arctic creatures. You need to defeat a boss in each of these realm dungeons before the 'normal' dungeon (copied directly from the first fate) opens up, containing some of the new monsters from the realms.
What I mean by 'more clicking' is the realms aren't designed well at all. Your stash and the enchanter only exist in the ice realm, but each realm has two characters which exist only to take out gems, and these characters are centrally located so you accidentally talk to them. The healer in the forest realm is off to the side and surrounded by tree stumps, which are at the exact angle for your character to get stuck behind on the walking approach. It's truly annoying because if you are doing the forest realm, you don't want to go to the ice realm and hit four screens of loading just to visit your stash.
Also, because of the way the dungeons scale, you'll have to keep going back and forth between the realms on the 'higher' difficulty settings (I played on hero), since the monsters can become too much for you to handle.
The other annoying thing about the game was when you unlock the 'final' dungeon, suddenly all the NPC only give quests for the 'final' dungeon, and not their realms anymore, restarting at level one. I ended up blowing through the first 20 levels of the 'final' dungeon in one sitting (without realizing this), so did without quests for the last few hours of the game. This wasn't very fun.
As far as I could tell they kept the same equipment from the first game. They added more fish types, but all the new pets walk so slowly they are essentially useless in combat. They also added 'fate' cards, where if you are lucky to find 3 cards, you give them to a fortune teller. The rewards are useless, usually normal gems or 4000 gold. A big letdown. Oh, and there are two new types of quests. A hunt down 'multiple moving objects' quest that gets old after doing it once, and shrines. I liked the shrines until I realized the firewall spell answered the defending/attacking dilemma perfectly. Then it was just waiting one minute while spamming the spell.
Overall, this game takes a LOT longer to finish the the original fate with not much added. So if you are heirlooming up items for deep-delving, you are better off playing the first game and only importing your character if you want to try the ice or forest dungeon as a change of pace.
Personally, I found it less fun than the first fate. You do get the first game with the second one, so if you don't have the first one, getting the second one is a good package deal.
Additionally I want to mention I had tons of installation problems with this software. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. My system kept seeing my purchased CD as a 'backup' disk and demanding I insert the 'real' CD. This wasn't fun to fix.
Enjoyable RPG December 29, 2008

I am an adult female and am enjoying playing this RPG .... I haven't had much experience with this type of game before, but I do enjoy playing SIM games, so I decided to give this a try. In some ways, I like it better than some sim games which have either few or no goals. This game gives you goals or tasks to complete for the "villagers" as well as feats of bravery that you must perform before moving on to other levels. As you progress through the levels, you earn gold, and pick up valuable tools to use along your way. You even have a pet to join and protect you on your quest (there are ways to morph you pet into a stronger character as you go along). If you fail your mission and are killed ...gasp...the grim reaper allows to to make several choices to continue. Everything in this game has to do with the choices you make along the way...kind of like life itself! Choose wisely!
