Even though there’s a lot going on, you’re constantly on watch, making sure you’ve got a plan to wipe out your opposition’s units and Hero. When you’ve settled on your starting cards, it’s time to enjoy the flow of play. You’ll also be given a choice as to whether you side with good or evil, with both having some great affects on your game (extra attacking or defensive points for example), just like the good old days. For example, if you pick the ‘Albion’s Got Magic’ quest and manage to use 3 spells over 1 point or more, you’ll get the Brandish award (gives a unit +1 health). You’ll start with a small amount of Gold (essentially your currency for using your unit cards’ attacks, your spells, and your Hero or Guard powers), and how you use it will be the key to your success.Īlthough this is a strategy card battle game, there are quests you can choose from, and by completing them, you’ll unlock special abilities or extra items to help you win. This is mainly down to the layout of the board and the sheer amount of attacking options you’ve got. There’s a great pace in Fable Fortune, and you never have to wait a long time for your opposition to play. Once you’ve built your deck, it’s time to take to the battlefield. I enjoyed crafting quite a bit, mainly because it gives you something to do far beyond just playing, and it gave me much more control on the deck I wanted to build, removing luck and creating more tactical deck-building elements. Doing this will result in losing the cards you Salvage, so make sure you know exactly what you’re doing. Ink is required to craft, and you can gain it in game, but it’ll also come into your posession when Salvaging your own cards (breaking them down). There’s also a great crafting mechanic, which isn’t too complex, however, you need to be careful. Crimson is a Shapeshifter – a ferocious and cunning hero, whom unleashes large amounts of damage through her spells and beastly units.įable Fortune offers you a chance to build your deck out of the cards you purchase from the store, or unlock through playing the game and levelling up your hero. After playing with Sand the Prophet (he keeps you and your units topped up with health, allowing you to last longer in battle) and Temple the Gravedigger (she’s a ruthless necromancer that summons an army of dead to flood the playing field), I settled upon Crimson. Each of the heroes have special abilities you can call upon at any time (provided you have enough Gold), but they also have a playing style that differs greatly from the next, and learning which one suits you is half the fun. There are two modes, and both feature multiplayer of sorts, and after spending a bit of time in the Training section of the game, I headed into battle online.īefore you begin a game, you must select one of the six heroes. It’s a rather welcoming game, and once you’ve worked out what you actually need to do (there is no obvious tutorial or guide in the game), it’s a hell of a lot of fun. This is heavily down to the fact that some of the surviving members of Lionshead formed Flaming Fowl Studios, one of the teams behind Fortune, along with Mediatonic. You may not get to walk the streets of Albion, but the feel of those games are present here, and whilst it may be a card game, it’s bloody good to be back in the Fable universe. When Lionhead Studios closed its doors earlier this year, many thought they’d seen the last of Fable, and whilst this may not be the sequel fans had hoped for, Fable Fortune has taken a lot of the whimsy, black comedy, and a wealthy dose of fantasy we all find rather familiar and filled this game to the brim with it.
