Not a lot of imagination went into setting up your adventures into these new lands, but they get the job done. Don't even think about checking it out unless you're a serious Fate veteran, because it's murderously tough. On this setting, when you're dead, you're dead. A new hardcore mode of play makes things even more challenging. The most affordable choices tend to get you ported to a level that's a flight or two down from your earlier position or a few levels up without any of your gold. Even then, the options often aren't good. Revival options after your character is killed remain unforgiving, with Fate himself appearing to extort gold, experience points, and/or hero renown to resurrect you. It's kind of hard to tell what's new, since you could already morph your pooch or feline into a wide selection of giant spiders, unicorns, wyverns, and more. A pet dog or cat companion that levels up automatically is still at your side helping to battle the monstrous hordes, although now there are more transformation options available every time you feed Fido or Trixie one of the game's magical fish. Monster drops feature a lot of the same swords, axes, and armor as before-albeit with the addition of some special items, such as the swathe quest gear-and the character spell list is identical. Items are largely carried over from the original game. It's a smooth, elegant system that lets you effortlessly build a fighter, a mage, or a jack-of-all-trades. There are no set character classes, so you craft your hero by assigning points to traits like strength and dexterity and to skills such as swords and magic every time you gain enough experience to level up. Development is exactly as it was in the first Fate.
The cowled weirdo then reveals himself as some kind of evil wizard and takes off, leaving you to head through these gates as well to stop his dastardly machinations.īizarre creatures make up most of the monster mash in Fate: Undiscovered Realms.Ĭharacter design covers the same old ground. A mysterious stranger soon arrives and cons you into opening portals into two new realms, a wooded world called Druantia and an icy kingdom named Typhon.
Forget about any celebrations with beautiful elf maidens and grog, though. After a long campaign against the forces of evil, your hero returns to the town of Grove. Undiscovered Realms is a continuation of the single-player story from the original Fate (there's still no multiplayer). The simple charm of the core game design still looms large over this Diablo clone, however, which gives its clickfest dungeon crawling the power to suck you in for many, many hours. So expect this hack-and-slash role-playing stand-alone add-on to provide you with a good dose of deja vu if you have any experience with the previous game released back in early 2005. Import original FATE characters into the Undiscovered Realms, so you can continue the adventure and raise your experience level.Fate: Undiscovered Realms adds a pair of new levels, a dead-is-dead option, and pretty much nothing else to the original Fate.An array of weapons and armor offer new and exciting special powers.Test your courage, strength and determination with a menagerie of new beasts.Sneak into heavily guarded areas to liberate a captured comrade.Imprison evil foes and bring them to justice.Fight an onslaught of monsters while protecting your town.Complete the quest with an all new set of potent magical spells!.Transform your fearless companion into a flaming lion or timber wolf!.Brand new lands and treasure filled dungeons to explore!.It is time, once again, to determine your FATE! New features include Hardcore mode (cheats disabled, more difficult monsters) and a level cap of 199 - import characters from the original FATE and continue your quest. You will encounter new dungeons, pet transformations, weapons, monsters, and five completely new quests to test your mettle.
The townsfolk look to you, their new champion, to take up this perilous quest and guide the stranger through the dungeon in search of the ancient temple. Of the temple's secrets, he divulges only the greatest: hidden within is an ancient tome - the Book of Fate, which maintains the balance between all realms. Typhon, an outpost built around cold, snowy dungeons, and Druantia, a land of lush forests and endless beauty. He speaks of ancient secrets locked within a temple, and of gateways to mysterious, yet Undiscovered Realms. In the midst of celebration, a stranger appears, warning of new evil that will ensnare your peaceful town. Your valor has won freedom for the people of Grove, and the manxome scourge has retreated into the shadows.
