Fate: The Traitor Soul



This is the game that made me realize what a “loot whore” means :) Or maybe it’s just my girly point of view, instead of fighting the monsters, I enjoyed better having lots of shining gems, a couple charms in my pocket and of course one big battle axe that can do fire and electrical damage simultaneously and chop everyone heads off in one move :)

This is an action rpg, a second expansion of the original Fate game, and the gameplay is mostly the same, crawling deep into dungeons of a couple cities and finishing quests, the option to select from different characters (Human, Ork, Cogger and Shadow Elf) and five different kinds of pets.

The graphics is fine, which is not a small thing for a 400mb game with 2.1 billion dungeons to go in. And there is a nice increase in difficulty as you go down, so if you upgrade your weapons and magic often there is no risk of making a mission too easy or too hard. This helps of not loosing interest of the game for some time, what on the other hand can easily happen for many because all in all it’s a mouse-clicking game with no real strategy other than kill, loot and sell and then buy more.

Speaking of the loot, here comes the first problem, as you go deeper and find better (and bigger items) if you want to sell them (because it’s rare to find and item that’s better than the ones you can buy) you have to send your pet to the town in every 5 min, or just buy lots of town portals and go for yourself.
And the second thing that really made me turn off this game, is when I finished the master quest in one town, then going to another town and starting from the beginning, it was just too easy. I can just walk around and let my minions to do all the fight while I collect new fancy clothing and jewels :) (just like a princess) and that's not fun at all :P

All in all it’s a sweet, addictive, never-ending game :)
